Coelacanth my beloved!!

FIRST-EVER FOOTAGE OF INDONESIAN COELACANTH IN NORTH MALUKU REVEALS NEW INSIGHTS INTO RARE SPECIES

The coelacanth, often dubbed a "living fossil," is one of the most iconic and mysterious marine vertebrates. Long thought extinct until its rediscovery in 1938, only two species are known today—Latimeria chalumnae in the western Indian Ocean, and L. menadoensis in Indonesia. The latter, the Sulawesi coelacanth, lives in deep, difficult-to-access reef habitats and has rarely been observed alive. For the first time, divers using advanced technical diving equipment have filmed a live Indonesian coelacanth in situ, at a depth of over 150 metres in North Maluku, a region where the species had not previously been recorded.

- Localities from whence the Sulawesi Coelacanth, Latimeria menadoensis, has been reported in black stars. White star shows the North Maluku Province, where the first in situ sighting by technical divers was made.

This sighting is more than just a milestone in exploration—it provides critical data on the ecology and distribution of an animal that is evolutionarily unique and highly vulnerable. With few individuals ever seen in the wild, each observation adds valuable insight into how these ancient fish live and where they might still be found. It also underscores the urgency of protecting deep reef habitats that are increasingly at risk from human activities. Understanding and safeguarding the ecosystems that support the coelacanth is essential if we hope to ensure its survival into the future.

When you tell a man that he was being rude and you say to him “you didn’t have to yell at me” or something to that effect and he responds with “That wasn’t me yelling. Me yelling is much worse than that/You don’t wanna see me actually yelling/I can be much louder and scarier if I wanted to.”

Like… congratulations?? Are you bragging about that?? Is this supposed to make me feel better???

I need fanart of all of my favorite ships making out right now or else I’m actually going to pass away

I’ve only been on here for a week help

Ok so yall I was OBSESSED with tdp seasons 1-3 but stopped watching after that because it felt like it went such a different direction. Should I watch all of it or no because I am so scared of what’s gonna happen to rayllum and I’ve heard very mixed reviews about it. Help

Mermay Rayllum 🧜‍♀️

they are gossiping your honour

you ask a student in april how they're doing and they'll say "oh i'm fine" but in reality they are treating themselves in such a way that violates the geneva convention on treatment of prisoners

NUDIBRANCHS!!!!!🗣️🗣️

you've heard of "quiet quitting," now I'd like to introduce you to the next level, The French Work Ethic:

Do exactly what you're paid for and nothing more

Absolutely refuse to be available to contact when you're off the clock

Never prioritize work over your own health, wellbeing, or family because that would be insane, it's just a job.

Have a little glass of wine

Take as long as you feel like for lunch

Deeply understand that work doesn't matter

Make sure your boss your boss knows they're always your second priority ❤️

AAAAA EVERYTHING ABOUT THIS
