That’s a really good one*, you are more than right to pick it
hamter in a submarine
Loggerhead sea turtle
Does it count if they’re not always underwater? If so, newts and really just salamanders in general. If they don’t count then I would like to fight about it.
idk salamander lore approximately how long do they spend underwater
It depends! There are some species that never leave the water (axolotls are one of these) and then some stay in the water for mating season from early spring through late summer, usually about 5 months. Some never really enter the water again after their juvenile stage.
Edit: salamanders are neat for a lot of reasons, but one of them is how often they seem to evolve into subspecies. For example, Crater Lake has a subspecies of rough-skinned newts called the Mazama newt.
The neat thing about them is that the rough-skinned has one of the deadliest neurotoxins (tetrodotoxin) and the only predator they have is garter snakes (they are in an evolutionary arms race, garters are immune to the poison). However, garter snakes can’t really fuck with Crater Lake because it’s so cold and the Mazama lost its neurotoxin over time.
The horrible thing is that some colonizers introduced fish and then crawfish to the lake 100 years ago and since they lost the neurotoxin the mazama newts are now endangered! Luckily there is an effort by local zoos and I think a school to keep some in captivity to breed and eventually reintroduce them.
Anyway, special interest info dump is over…for now
I’m gonna go with fish. This one is my favorite fish:
Nautilus easy
Elasmosaurus
platypus
Octopus or cuttlefish
Luidia sarsii. It’s a starfish. It undergoes a very strange metamorphosis. The larva continues to live after its next stage, the starfish, has its own existance. It’s like if a butterfly was “born” directly out of a caterpillar and after its “birth” both continued to exist.
The Wiki page really buries the lede.
During metamorphosis the juvenile migrates to the outside and detaches from the swimming larval bipinnaria stage. The larva continues to live separately for several months.
cephalopods in general
