My wife likes to do sports photography. She shot this one in the field house next to the stadium. It’s our defensive line. Lincoln is #54

Just added this juvenile bat fish to my tank last night. He's looking at his reflection. He's about 4" tall for perspective.

The juveniles have this amazing color as a defense mechanism. This colouration mimics a poisonous sea slug that lives in their local waters. No predators would dare to eat one. Amazing how nature works these tricks out.

They are the reverse of an ugly duckling though. They have this incredible colouration as a juvenile, but once they grow big enough they lose these colors and become plain and basically ugly adults. Still have the bat shape... but the colors become lame. When that time comes I will get rid of it.

Just let me say, up front.... I'm not sure how any of this happens... :laugh4:
Yeah... it is weird and this is Portland... but, damn - this is still an airport! :thinking:

Background: My wife & daughter have some llama's & alpaca's that they do therapy interactions with... They also do appearances for parties, corporate events (and airports)... and so on, mostly 'cuz the charity side alone doesn't put gas in the tank! Enjoy.

Then there is this...

Sunset crater about 20 miles NE of Flagstaff Arizona. Erupted almost 1,000 years ago. This whole volcanic area is one of my favorite regions to come back to every so often.

It wouldn't matter what you feed them. They basically turn into an ugly gray fish when they mature. The juvenile coloring is a defense mechanism... they are purposely imitating a poisonous sea slug to keep predators from eating them when they are small. Once they grow to adult size... the black and orange colors completely vanish. Most people don't even know that the adults are the same species as the juveniles.
