Daily fish fact #736
Pacific redfin!
Tumblr media
It is one of the only cyprinids that occur in saltwater! They spawn in freshwater rivers, but maturing juveniles (once about 7 cm, ~3 inches, in size) and adults who've finished spawning return to the sea and live along the coast.

earth fact time. this is NOT A DRILL! two great white sharks have become best friends!! their names are simon and jekyll and they've travelled together for over 4,000 miles. this is a huge discovery, because great white sharks are usually solitary creatures!
an important note is that these sharks aren't swimming side by side, and are usually a couple kilometres off from each other - but their trackers kept pinging in the same part of the ocean at the same time. scientists think they might be brothers, or following a previously unknown migratory path.

Blanket Octopus (Tremoctopus violaceus) - so unbothered they’re actually immune to jellyfish stings. They also rip off those jellyfish tentacles and use them as defense against their predators

Whitetip reef shark!
Tumblr media
Unlike other requiem sharks, this species can pump water over its gills without needing to ram ventilate, which means it can stop moving and have a rest! These sharks are very slender and hunt at night by squeezing themselves into tight caves in their coral reef habitat.
