AHA, I knew they had seen another Vamproteuthis on this expedition! If these only eat detritus then why do they look built to catch moving prey? For mating? If that's the reason then things must get intense. From

BREAKING: DHS waives dozens of laws to rush border wall construction through Big Bend State Park. They want to rob this iconic western landscape from all of us, locking away our fishing holes & campsites behind concrete and steel. It's a grotesque act of political vandalism.

Put this on repeat if you need to relax. I spent yesterday evening trying out the new catering menu at Assiniboine Park (such great food), and capped off the evening hanging out in the biomes at the Leaf. I love the tropical biome at night.
