SAGITTARIUS: they travel all over the world, from freshwater to the deepest depths of the ocean. their scales are scattered across their body, the color of the sunrise, & their fins are a brilliant fan, ombre & almost ruffled as it creeps up their tail in layers.

I'm in whale mode right now for research, so gonna share one of my favorites for Remingtonocetus. Sounds very proper, I would absolutely have tea with Remingtonocetus (named for Remington Kellogg). It's a freshwater or coastal, early whale from the Middle Eocene.

6/Alligators live in freshwater (slow rivers, swamps, marshes, lakes).
Current habitat isn't anywhere near the west coast, but maybe the death of humanity + climate change allowed them to broaden their horizons in the stone world. They also got bigger? (current record is 19.2 ft)

“Gardenhead and Jointed Neck”.
Heterosteus asmussi, a 6 meter long freshwater placoderm fish from the Devonian. It may have been an ambush predator, spending most of its time close to the sediment.

I really liked painting this one.
