Worse in snails
Im halfway sure they digest the shit again, since they’re so small they can’t properly digest it
But not before they get a good whiff of the stuff
Pig poop balls vs. snail poop head
The feces doubles as moisturizer.
That diagram isn’t making sense. The tube goes directly from the stomach to the anus? Everything else is just ignored? Either I’m missing something or this is AI slop.
Probably doesn’t need as much intestine as we do, so the length of that tube is sufficient. Or perhaps most of the ingestion is done in the stomach.
Or the diagram coyld be simplified for illustrative purposes, like how our human models focus on internal organs and dont often draw, say, the visceral sack they sit in, and the webbing that weaves our organs together so precisely that surgeons can jiggle us on the table to slot them back into their places.
And yeah, that is where the snail anus is…
No, it’s not AI, you can search the snail anatomy in the web, and you’ll see, that it is the correct anatomy for this genre of snails
So that’s why the eel made that face at the aquarium when I sarcastically said “nice tail, shitneck!”
Shoutout to whoever named eels. You nailed it, those things are eels.
they also arnt EELs, they are a type of knifefish, which are a sister clade to CATFISH, which also can produce electricity in some species.
And fish don’t even exist.
yes they do, but not as a useful, well defined category in biology.
it’s a morphological category, not cladistic.
Like how “tree” is any plant with a thick robust trunk and branchy crown.
You’re a tree!
not until i shove my legs into soil
Sir Mix-a-Lot must have a lot to say about this picture.
B-b-b-b-but(t)!?⁉️‼️
I heard eels love neck kisses.
I like long butts and I can not lie
So, next question. If a snake had arms, would they be up near his head or closer to its butt? Like is it mostly torso or neck?
this is such a great sub. Thank you.
No, ty.
A snake is technically sushi as it’s a shell around a cylindrical hole.
Butt which end is positive vs negative?
I need to know so I can recharge my battery…
Head positive, tail negative (seriously)
It’s pulsed though, not sure how well it would charge a battery
So, according to the diagram, the butthole of the eel is the positive electrode?
Or did I miss something here?
That “did I miss something here?” really instills an image of you standing at a workbench with a live electric eel, various electronics parts, and an IKEA instruction booklet in hand trying to get this thing to charge your phone.
Well, we can’t just release them without a full battery. That would be rather cruel.
But electric eels aren’t eels
Are there magnetic eels?
Only if they’re travelling at relativistic speeds.
Good thing there aren’t nuclear strong force eels.
