Mankind has long since taken to the art of diving, exploring the deepest of oceans through various means. But no aquatic exploration gear, submarine, or whatever fancy gadgets are available today for delving into the deep blue, compare to actually being… a fish. Which is exactly what you get to do in Guppy! Oh, and do keep an eye out for pesky aquatic predators.
Just three days into the new year and Ernie’s already in the running for “Best Letter of the Year 2018”.
Leg warmers!

A request was made for me to post any cute centipedes I might know of.
Centipedes pretty much all fall under a “sleek and lethal” aesthetic but to me one of the cutest things of all is when a tough fierce predator gets gentle and protective. A mother centipede will stay wrapped around her eggs and babies not only to keep parasites at bay but to hold them up off of the ground and keep them clean of any fungi or bacterial infections!
Some studies find that if the babies are already hatched, the whole family will scatter and fend for themselves when disturbed (such as by a huge human uncovering them), so the babies don’t “need” the mother’s protection, but she’ll still hold onto them for a long time if she can. Every extra day that they get a little more time to grow under her watch probably makes a difference.
