    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.

      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

      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.

    Im halfway sure they digest the shit again, since they’re so small they can’t properly digest it

  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

  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 ⁨hours⁩ 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.

  Butt which end is positive vs negative?

  I need to know so I can recharge my battery.

  • swagmoney@lemmy.ca ⁨36⁩ ⁨minutes⁩ ago

    conventional current positive or electron flow positive?

    source
  • piranhaconda@mander.xyz ⁨18⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

    Head positive, tail negative (seriously)

    source

    • over_clox@lemmy.world ⁨16⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

      So, according to the diagram, the butthole of the eel is the positive electrode?

      Or did I miss something here?

      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.

  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 ⁨11⁩ ⁨hours⁩ 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!”

  source
• ignotum@lemmy.world ⁨9⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

  Everything after the butt is a tail?
  Are my legs tails?

  source

  • Swedneck@discuss.tchncs.de ⁨8⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

    the tail is part of the spine, our tail ends BEFORE the butt

    source

    • ignotum@lemmy.world ⁨7⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

      Maybe your leg-tails are, but my leg-tails appear to be separate from my spine

  All of taxonomy hinges on where the butt is.
