Hi, I'm Andrew and I’m just a simple 18 year old guy and zoology student that posts random factoids about obscure animals and general animal science/zoology/biology stuff so if you like animals this is the place for you, if you only like cute animals this is not the place for you… I also like astronomy and some weirdos from youtube called the creatures so I’m prone to reblog stuff about that too. Also I track the 'astronomy-to-zoology' tag so yeah.
Disclamer: none of the pictures are mine unless stated
Order Doliolida: an order of thaliaceans found in tropical waters. Unlike their salp cousins doliolids have 8-9 bands of muscle lining their bodies, making them look similar to a barrel.
