Shoutout to whoever named eels. You nailed it, those things are eels.

Whoever named the mountain chicken is sitting uncomfortably in the back hoping no one brings it up

No, ty.

All of taxonomy hinges on where the butt is.
ignotum@lemmy.world 5 months ago
Everything after the butt is a tail?
Are my legs tails?Swedneck@discuss.tchncs.de 5 months ago
the tail is part of the spine, our tail ends BEFORE the butt
ignotum@lemmy.world 5 months ago
Maybe your leg-tails are, but my leg-tails appear to be separate from my spine

The feces doubles as moisturizer.
JargonWagon@lemmy.world 5 months ago
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.
Zerush@lemmy.ml 5 months ago
No, it’s noy AI, you can search the sbail abatomy in the web, and you’ll see, that it is the correct anatoumy for this genre of snails
Manticore@lemmy.nz 5 months ago
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.

Pig poop balls vs. snail poop head

Im halfway sure they digest the shit again, since they’re so small they can’t properly digest it
icelimit@lemmy.ml 5 months ago
But not before they get a good whiff of the stuff
Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 5 months ago
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.
FiskFisk33@startrek.website 5 months ago
yes they do, but not as a useful, well defined category in biology.

So that’s why the eel made that face at the aquarium when I sarcastically said “nice tail, shitneck!”
Suck_on_my_Presence@lemmy.world 5 months ago
But electric eels aren’t eels
HugeNerd@lemmy.ca 5 months ago
Are there magnetic eels?
Morphit@feddit.uk 5 months ago
Only if they’re travelling at relativistic speeds.
sbeak@sopuli.xyz 5 months ago
e. eels
I know it’s more than two, but you can do it!
ivanafterall@lemmy.world 5 months ago
That’s not what their name says.

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.

Butt which end is positive vs negative?
I need to know so I can recharge my battery.
swagmoney@lemmy.ca 5 months ago
conventional current positive or electron flow positive?
HonoraryMancunian@lemmy.world 5 months ago
recharge my battery
*buttery
Oh wait that’s already a word. Hang on is that why eels are slippery?
piranhaconda@mander.xyz 5 months ago
Head positive, tail negative (seriously)
marcos@lemmy.world 5 months ago
You just need capacitors.
Gladaed@feddit.org 5 months ago
If it created a lot of energy it would need to much food. The beauty of electric defense is that very little energy deposited has an outsized effect, by attacking your electronics directly potentially even killing.
over_clox@lemmy.world 5 months ago
So, according to the diagram, the butthole of the eel is the positive electrode?
Or did I miss something here?
magic_window@lemmy.world 5 months ago
Piranhaconda knows what’s up
UnculturedSwine@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 months ago
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?
python@lemmy.world 5 months ago
They’re like 1/3 neck 2/3 torso! You can actually kinda see where the neck turns into the torso because of the difference in thickness, I marked it with a green arrow here:

It’s a lot easier to see in person though since the chest moves when they breathe so you can be sure that’s where the lungs start.
