hi meet the sunfish

one of THEE biggest bony fish in the world and they are just harmless big fellas.

these dudes are chill as hell all they do it eat and sleep and chill repeat

they spend most of theyre day doing f all just floating like "👁o👁" ok serve.

oh to be a massive mass the weight of a car just doing nothing but wherever the currents take me.

it used be thought the only way they transported was by drifting, letting the currents take them wherever BUT they have found out they can swim like 16mi a day at least. but that just shows u how laidback they are that at one point we didnt even think they MOVED. they classified them as MEGAPLANKTON.

they can lay the most eggs out of any vertebrae, 300 MILLION!! WHAT YOU DOING WITH ALL THAT!!

THEN they can grow up to 60 million times the size of their original fry form. that. is. insane. their little fin does grow by the proportion size difference of is tiny lil fckn find compared to the absolute disk of a body it has its so funny. this guy is a UNIT

apparently they used to be an acceptable form of tax payment in japan in one point of time so thats great!

we are still learning so much about these dudes but it just adds to the charm why i love them so much. quite honestly, i mean this positively, a freak of nature. this GIANT MASS in the ocean that just CHILLS AND SUN BATHES and is so slow we really cant figure out what its on about :pepelook: but if i know one thing this dude rocks

and if u put it in a tank it will die within a few weeks and his fins will rot away.
so dont ever go into an aquarium to look at it, you will support animal cruelity with that.
fish can feel pain too
would anyone doubt a fish could feel pain ?
i support ocean life in the ocean and will only talk about them being in the ocean :thumbsupcat:

there is someone I follow on yt. he is a marine biologist and lead europes biggest aquarium in the past.
he is also a photographer, makes animal & enviroment docus, tries to save the rainforest etc.

he once said, nature & animals are beautiful and those pictures are shown everywhere u go, but for him its impotnt to show the bad side too.
to open eyes.

thats why I also now think its important to show how beautiful earth is but also what humans are doing to that beautiful earth.:thumbsupcat:

in just a few years there will be more plastic in the ocean than animals

that is so real, i feel like it warrants a thread of its own rather since i fear this knowledge could get buried in a whimsical thread like this. i know you have a lot of knowledge and heart of subjects like this ani, if you made threads about that subject to spread awareness id support :sanapray: (if you have before sorry i missed them)

that being said, do you think theres hope for reduction of plastic waste and usage ? :sadcat: when i visited new york i saw they actually had completely omitted plastic bags from their stores which is great. there's improvements somewhere, even if minimal, but thats definitely not the case where i live...

most important is that ppl change their mindset.
personally I hate it when ppl say 'if I alone do sth, nothing will change', but if everyone thinks that way, the world wont improve.
so its important that everyone does change sth, even little things like not using plastic bags or drinking straws.
90% of the plastic in the ocean is in the deep sea, so we cant recover that.
but we can change the remaining 10%.

but tbh I dont think ppl will change.

just an example:
in germany we lost 80% of our birds already. we loose 1% per year.
when pp/animal protectors found out the reasons for that in the past, they naivly thought we can change it, but no one did anything.
its like that everywhere.

so what does that mean for humanity if birds die?
in china there was a case like that. the goverment ordered for ppl to exhaust the birds so they fell from the sky, dead.
they did that to protect the fields, because the birds were getting the seeds and other stuff from them.
in the end almost all birds died that way. thousands of ppl died because of hunger. why?
because the birds also took the insects that feed on the crops.

so the calculation is easy. 1% per year, means in 20 years we are all fucked.

its important ppl understand the importance of each plant&animal in the eco system.

tbh I think we are going down, its just a question on how fast it will be and how fucked up.

wish i could pin this post.

im trying to get my mom to understand that mindset too i dont understand whats so hard to get about it :pepecry1: do you remember how early 2000s the majority would mock people who'd wanna save the earth and denied climate change, that and consumerism culture increasing extremely has set us back by x1000 and it's absolutely depressing that people are still stuck in that mindset even with all the information in our faces about what our planet is going through.

80% is terrifying... but i hard agree with you. its easier to think "everything will work out in the end" but that's just another part of the problem. its smarter to think "what can i do to try to make it work in the end" :sadcat:

it takes time. I lived in a bubble for over 30 years, until I stumbled upon the guy from yt I mentioned above.
in dec 2022 he made 2 docus, 1 about the fur industry and 1 about the milk industry.
I became vegan after those 2 videos. slowly I also read more about that stuff.
becoming vegan was a game changer for me (and my health also).
because if u are vegan, u are bound to read up more about micronutrients etc
you also become aware of all the bad things happening.

if u have time, you should watch 'dominion' with your mum. the full movie is on yt.
but it shows all the animal cruelty happening in animal farming.
its really hard to watch tbh, and as I`m not sure about your age, u better watch it with somone together.
