It’s been a long, beyond-busy week but some cool patients and cases, as well as awesome co-workers, kept things going. #fish #veterinary
Toxotes jaculatrix is an archerfish that can capture insects by spitting water to throw them off leaves overhanging the brackish waters he lives on. It was my first thought for this week’s #SundayFishSketch. #sciart
The electrical eel was the obvious choice for this week’s #SundayFishSketch but it’s the only electric fish I’ve met in the wild! #sciart
Ornithomya avicularia is a parasitic fly (Hippoboscidae) that was terrorising everyone at work today. They crawl inside clothes hairs, and transmit blood parasites to their avian hosts. And also make good #sketching models. #SciArt #Entomology
#Sketching project: urban #wildlife on my neighbourhood. Starting with an Eurasian jay (Garrulus glandarius), more frequently heard than seen. Based on life drawings and some photos #sciart #ornithology
The Allis Shad (Alosa alosa) is a northeastern Atlantic #fish that migrates up rivers to spawn. Its populations have been reducing due to overfishing, pollution and habitat loss, specially estuaries, where juveniles live #SundayFishSketch #scicomm #SciArt
The humble sardine (Sardinus pilchardus) is an important part of several food chains in European and Mediterranean coasts. Also plays a huge part in a lot of regional cuisines. My take for this week #SundayFishSketch #SciArt #scicomm
