The black swallower is a deep-sea fish.

It lives up to its name: although it only gets to about 10 inches long, its stomach and abdominal wall can be distended enormously, allowing it to eat fish 2x its length and nearly 10x its weight.

In fact, most of our black swallower specimens were found because they ate fish so large they couldn't be digested before they started to decompose, and the gases lifted the swallowers to the surface.

“Let’s settle it once and for all, is it ‘gif’ or ‘jif’?”
“Gay-peg.”

wait, what? who told you i was "trapped in a man's body" like i demonically possessed some guy and then got stuck? this is no man's body, it's *mine*

i mean sure, there are aspects of it that make me want to cry (some of which i can change but most of which i can only learn to live with)

but that's not unique to my being trans, it's just that human bodies were a mistake in general

anyway, you want transhumanism? we'll show you transhumanism ​

don’t come at me shy about being “back on your bullshit” – life is *all about* being on your bullshit, go hard okay

@noelle Plant nerd note: There are a number of animals that use chlorophyll within their bodies, I think this funky fish is just the only one to use it (or a derivative) in order to sense light that it is also producing.
