[Image IDs: three gifs of a beautiful, long-haired dog with alert ears in slow motion. It’s dark enough that the dog, the slightly hilly horizon, and the clouds are all stark black, but the sky is still lit up with pale orange and blue-grey. In all the gifs the dog’s pupils are reflecting a bright white, but its features are otherwise impossible to make out aside from its silhouette. In the first gif the dog is looking to the right and turns towards the camera to look right at the viewer. In the second gif the dog is looking at the viewer and lowering its head toward the ground, its fur billowing a little with the movement. In this one, there’s a very faint light that illuminates some grass and what appears to be the dog’s lower canines, or potentially a white patch under its nose. In the final gif the dog is loping just to the right of the camera, its head lowered and tail wagging. /End ID]

Flashlight Fish Appreciation Post

Anomalopidae (lanterneye fishes or flashlight fishes) are a family of fish distinguished by bioluminescent organs located underneath their eyes, for which they are named.

These light organs contain luminous bacteria and can be "shut off" by the fish using either a dark lid or by being drawn into a pouch. They are used to communicate, attract prey, and evade predators.

These rarely seen fish are nocturnal and found in the Indo-Pacific Ocean and Caribbean Sea.
