  So… Millions of years ago, before Pikachu was surprised, we had this fish occupying its niche?

      Technically this is the ship of theseus so are we really this fish?

  It’s funny when looked sideways, but when looked from the front it’s two distortion filters away from analog horror.

    Horror already without filters. I’m going to see that thing in my nightmares, fuckin hell.

  That is such a shit fish. I love it.

  The eyes would suggest it’s a predator.

  • Tlaloc_Temporal@lemmy.ca ⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago

    Or just that it needs to focus on from of itself like filter crabs, or that it needs to see through things like kelp forests or hole enterances.

    Given it’s size and the extreme binocular vision, it’s unlikely to have any ambush predators.

    I looked it up, it has bony plates all over it’s body and likely a lateral line, so seeing predators directly may have been less necessary. It was also a suction feeder, so likely an active predator of much smaller things. It may have needed good forward vision because it’s maneuverability was poor.

  This fish foresaw that evolution would lead to celebrity news, Return To Office mandates, and oversized utes, and decided it was happy precisely where it was.

  Modern fish are often dark on top and light underneath to fool prey/predators but also often colorful. Why do they assume one evolutionary step over the other? That beautiful blimpie belly calls out for decoration!

  source

  • SoleInvictus@lemmy.blahaj.zone ⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago

    Functional changes in coloration are much “easier” (read: more likely) to develop through random mutation than functional changes to complex mechanical structures like bone structure or musculature. Given their predecessors were already under selective pressure by predation for millions of years prior, it’s reasonable to assume they’d developed countershading (light bottom, dark top). Plus current agnathans are usually pretty dull.
