A couple of #kaiju designs I drew in the last year or so, mostly inspired by #ultraman, #mechanime like #getterrobo, #godzilla films and various games.
Theirs also some design elements from actual animals such as the #greenlandshark, #spinosaurus, #stingray and #pterasaurs.
Dryly humorous black-and-white illustration of an ancient Greenland shark swimming calmly in dark Arctic water, its large eye appearing clear and alert under a magnifying-glass effect. The shark studies an open book while, nearby, a battered, scarred heart—stitched, bandaged, and walking with a cane—struggles along, highlighting the contrast between well-preserved vision and a damaged yet still-functioning heart.
Greenland sharks live for centuries—but how? 🦈 Their eyes show signs of DNA repair and minimal aging, while their hearts endure damage yet keep working. A wild mix of repair and resilience. #Longevity #GreenlandShark scientificinquirer.com/2026/01/29/d...
Very happy to have been invited by @liberation.fr to comment on a new study showing that the Greenland shark is not blind. 🦈🔬

The #Greenlandshark is famous for eyeball parasites, but it seems the still have better vision than expected
"Our findings support the presence of a preserved and functional visual system in the adult Greenland shark"

Could some Greenland sharks live for nearly a thousand years?
Greenland shark expert Professor John Fleng Steffensen talked to #TheBiologist about the world’s longest-living vertebrates.

Baldur’s Gate 3’s Astarion. He is wearing a red long sleeve shirt that says “ohwow” on it. He is holding a can of Holkeri (Greenland shark) in his hand like the shamwow guy. There is a mascot of a Greenland shark behind him with a tear in its eye. There is text overlay that says “Holkeri, it’s Greenland shark. Hey, maybe it’s Mystra!”

🦈 A shark that may live 500 years is rewriting what scientists think aging can do. Its genome shows how repair beats damage over decades.

Still get over how long the Greenland Shark lives, fucking bastard.
It's wasted on them, ...needed for us, ...to break that 70 year cycle of human foolishness, and for other things....

With a bit of help from a fellow ocean dweller, Mr. Hugh considers a familiar theme -time- and its role in how we experience our lives.

A female Greenland shark was found to be around 400 years old. She’s been swimming through the cold ocean depths since the 1600s, long before cars, phones, electricity, or even the idea of modern life existed.

The Greenland shark, found in the icy waters of the North Atlantic, is the world’s longest-living vertebrate. These incredible creatures grow so slowly—just 1 cm per year—that they don’t even reach maturity until about 150 years of age.

#FishyFriday the Greenland sharks (Somniosus Microcephalus) can live up to 500 years thanks to a very slow metabolism and the cold Arctic ocean they inhabit! 🦈❄️🌊

The “Great” #WhiteShark, #BlueShark, #PorbeagleShark, #ShortfinMakoShark, #GreenlandShark, and #SpinDogfish are the common species of shark that frequent #NovaScotia. Larger sharks aid serving as apex predators.
#Sharks could have as many as 20,000 to 50,000 teeth replaced during their lifespan.
I learned that there was a shark species that has an estimated gestation period of 9-18 years. Then I thought, “Is it still May? Yeah, it’s still May.”

🦈 #shark the #lanternshark having different upper and lower teeth is not unique, it's just a really good example. For comparison, here are the upper and lower teeth of a #Greenlandshark. Again, upper teeth hold prey lower teeth cut.
