Did a quick paddlefish for the "tiny eye" theme. The American paddlefish (Polyodon spathula) has small undeveloped eyes, so it relies on sensory receptors to track down food #SundayFishSketch
Extinction :( One of the world's largest freshwater fish the Chinese paddlefish has just been declared officially extinct - declined from abundance to #extinction over a few decades due #overfishing & #dams - read more about it here: https://t.co/uoccUUo5iw #fish #hydropower 🐟🐟
The paddlefish at my workplace are so cute. I just want to give one a very firm slap on the side, or just hold them...
Polyodon spathula, the American paddlefish, belongs to the family Polyodontodae, a group of fishes that emerged in the early Cretaceous and have since been relatively unaffected by time. This individual, however, succumbs to the consequences of daylight savings. #SundayFishSketch

Next entry for phase 1 of the #AtlantisBestiary. Pretty much ecologically identical to modern paddlefish just tiny, schooling, and paddle-less. (My second attempt at a shad-like color scheme. While I like this quality better I think it looks too much like a tuna...)

Happy December 2nd and Day 2 of #ArtAdventCalendar. Here is the beautiful rostral #anatomy of the last remaining paddlefish species (allegedly) on Earth, the American paddlefish. This was truly a joy for me to see #scicomm #sciart
Here is a juvenile American #paddlefish. Largely, my focus was on the intricately developed bone in the rostrum. Crystalline and mesmerizing. For sale on my Etsy soon. Enjoy. #Crystalline #Anatomy #SciArt #Photography #Science #Ichthyology #Art

@Poptropica_Help Joe Puddy for the Yellowjackets! Sure he is rooting for the Paddlefish, but it is hip to be with Bees and use his construction worker experience to win! 🐝 #poptropica
