Pygmy seahorse on a type of coral called a Gorgonian sea fan, about 40 ft (12 m) deep in Lembeh, Indonesia. 📸: Alex Mustard Underwater Photography There are 5 known species of pygmy sea horses that grow to an average size of 0.55 to 1.06 inches (1.4 to 2.7 cm). These tiny and delicate cuties live exclusively on gorgonian corals. They use their long tails to grab onto the branched sea fans and their amazing camouflage ability to match the coral’s bright color and knobby texture.
Baby Galapagos Pink Land Iguanas Observed for the First Time
For the first time ever baby Galapagos pink land iguanas have been observed! The critically endangered species has an estimated adult population of 200-300 animals, which researchers worried were beginning to decline due to age. A ten month search found nesting sites and hatchlings on Isabela Island, in a remote area near Wolf Volcano. Like the name suggests adult Galapagos pink land iguanas are a shade of bright pink, however, babies are bright green with black spots.
while Beeftongue seemed perfectly content living with Bupkis’ Sarasinula plebia family, the new slug is another Leidyula floridana, and I hope there will be beeflings in the near future.
I actually have two new slugs. their names are Boudin (patternless) and Blutwurst (half-striped).
quite a colorful family now. also that bupkisette is doing a wonderful empanada impression
