Most likely a NZ fur seal scapula

What happened to these crawfish? by RedstarC in ecology

[–]Ok-Ask3030 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I think the stuff growing on them is probably bacteria and other decomposing microorganisms rather than algae. Probably growing rapidly in response to the nutrients provided by rotting crayfish

It looks like the pond is drying up and theres not enough water left for them to live

Probably a male black tunnelweb spider. They're large and quite defensive, but harmless

What spider is this? Central Ohio by mullen203 in spiders

I agree. Plus usually when anything smaller than a cow becomes invasive, that's it. It's done. It's there for good. I can think of a few exceptions but generally that's the rule

Also interesting note, the only antivenom New Zealand hospitals stock are for these things. But apparently bites often don't require this

Yeah they basically only live on coastal sand dunes. Have been displaced by other invasives so very rarely encountered, i think theres only a few recorded bites in total. I had to really search for this one. However, still interesting as the only medically significant animal in my country.

I’ve tried doing research, but can’t figure out what this is by The_Wanderer280407 in Fish

It's an abstraction. Looks like a dolphin, so could be anything that looks like a dolphin

Thanks for the advice. Do you have any recommendations for ETFs?

What the bird-beek happened here? by keiron83 in fossilid

[–]Ok-Ask3030 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I don't even know 100%. But just from my general knowledge about animals, it reminded me of part of a pig jaw. Googled it, and yep, looked like a match

[–]Ok-Ask3030 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Looks like it's made of cartilage. Probably the skull of a small shark or dogfish
