Nice try. These are obviously the landing imprints of the UFOs before Skydiver got to them.

The bowerbirds of the sea. I didn't think I could like pufferfish more, but it turns out I can!

It was a true story of love, craftsmanship and the desire to pass on descendants.

And when the stars are right....

Very impressive. Did they also make the sculptures in the last photo?

Always be careful to identify the creature correctly before investigating:

"Hey, Goat, have you met my friend Bobby? He's one of those blow-up fish."
"I think you mean puffer fish."

Sure they're cute, but they're also incredibly aggressive. Even one the size of a marble will not swim away when you put your finger near the glass. It will back off and then swim in to try to get a taste.

Is it aggression or curiosity? At a dreary temp job I once had, the puffer fish in the tank in the break room would swim over and put his nose against the glass whenever I came in. If I moved he would follow me. He would also follow a pointing finger moving outside his tank. I like to think he was my friend and I was entertaining him. Was he actually my enemy whom I was taunting? If so, I think I owe that fish an apology.

mind blown.

also, newfound love for puffers will force me to refuse fugu sashimi the next time it's offered.
