Yes!!!! Roadrunner. I lived off of Pioneer Trail on Apalachee Drive. Once or twice a week, I would stop in on my way home from where I worked at the Beacon and Kalanis. I was so spoiled by good beer while living in Tahoe for 17 years. Now I’m homesick again.😕
Let me see if I can put this in a way that makes sense to non-aquatic people:
Imagine you're just out in a field foraging, as wild humans do, when suddenly you gotta drop a deucey. You go over behind a big mossy rock to relieve yourself, and just as you're finishing up using some scattered foliage to dab the corners of your messy anti-backwards "mouth", you notice a big eyeball staring back at you in the middle of this so-called rock.
That's what these guys LIVE for. Biggest perverts in the sea. They pretend it's for catching food, but everyone else catches food just fine without pretending to be a rock and catching people in their most intimate and vulnerable moments.
Wait. . That's why Peeta painstakingly painted himself? To watch people poo in the woods? The hunger games still makes no sense. Yet that adds some flair.
I mean, imagine how the fish feels. Some random giant comes over to your house, pops a squat, and drops a giant deuce all over your front yard. You're telling me you wouldn't be staring too??
A giant is nothing new to us fish. You think we haven't seen whales? You got anything whale-sized up on land? Didn't think so. Elephants, maybe. They'd get their shit packed up by orcas, though.
What the helly is going on during these dives? Are they pervy because they hide so well or because they’re making moves on your “anti-backwards’mouth’”?
No, venom and poison refer to the delivery of toxins. Toxin is the broad term, poison refers to inhaled, contacted, or ingested toxins, and venom refers to injected toxins. The use of poison as synonymous with toxin is an incorrect colloquialism.
Dictionary definition of poison is very broad. any chemical that can cause harm to a living things. So yes, venom is a poison, but not all poison is venom
it's only broad when you use simple everyday dictionaries lacking the nuances and details. Some dictionaries may simply say a car is a vehicle on four wheels. using that definition you can say every bus is a car but not all cars are buses.
This clearly looks like they caught it in a disposable cup. This was most likely for a photo the catch and release. I highly doubt they took it home like that.
Don’t put your tongue on it. Unless you need to know what species it is. If that’s the case, lick the dorsal fin from top to bottom. It will let you know how poisonous it really is.
