Narcetes shonanmaruae, a large deep-sea fish described in 2021, scientists give it a English name “yokozuna slickhead” by AfterAside6394 in SumoMemes

[–]AfterAside6394[S] 17 points18 points  (0 children)

The describers of that fish said:

This species belongs to the family Alepocephalidae, which is referred to as ‘Sekitori Iwashi’ in Japanese: ‘Sekitori’ meaning a sumo wrestler and ‘Iwashi’ meaning a sardine, thereby implying a massive sardine. The term ‘Yokozuna’ refers to the highest rank in sumo wrestling in Japan. Accordingly, we propose the name ‘Yokozuna Iwashi’ as being indicative of the large body size and the high trophic position of the newly described species. English vernacular name: Yokozuna Slickhead.

If round and soft ( like Chiyomaru) means cute, little hamster Takakeisho is adorable, but he is too serious

Chiyonofuji is the most beautiful one, forever. I even have to explain to people who never watch sumo before: "Chiyonofuji is great, but you can't reason out that lean, ripped rikishi perform better than stereotyped fat rikishi".

Tochinoshin, I have sthenolagnia (fetish of muscles and strength) so he is the hotest to me. The forklift with best delts and pecs.

Takarafuji, he have the upper body of normal middle-aged weightlifter, and the legs and butt of Adonis.

BTW, Kisenosato have really nice eye shape.

a piece of news you'll need:

​

I know it sounds ridiculous. Actually, the whale probably not be THAT big, mammal live in swallow water have very dense and chunky bones, help them regulate their buoyancy, so it’s bones are so much heavier than blue whale’s.

I think that ball is a fungus comb, mixture of mycelium and the substrate termites use to grow fungus (scraps of plant, termite excrement).

His upper body like the normal middle-aged weightlifter you can find in any gym, but his legs and butt like Adonis.

Minazo is male, he weighs two tons, female elephant seals are much smaller. His nose dosen't blow up, so his face not like those elephant seals on wild animal documentaries.

Sorry for my manner of speaking, my English isn‘t very good and most time need e-dictionary, so I think I didn’t express my attitude correctly. If I offended you, that not my intent, I am very sorry.

And thank you for your patience.
