    “They called him Flipper, Flipper, faster than lightning…” But Hammerhead is a baddie and sharks aren’t supposed to be baddies any more. Sharks are friends, not threats. So Hammerhead slipped quietly into the distance to await his time of glory, when one day he will return to rule the Ocean with an iron fist head.

    Incidentally, dolphins have had a troubled role-reversal in the fashion of popular opinion too. They were friends! Companions! Even amusements for a while, before everyone agreed they should be free. Now they are wanton rapists and bullies. Shed a tear for the poor, maligned dolphin, carrying the disgrace of his ill-behaved friends and relations. All Dolphins Are Not Bad.

    One day the Bottlenose and the Hammerhead will return as friends, splendorous and loved. But will they find the World worthy of their love? Or will they leave, with a parting farewell, and a thanks for all the fish.

        Fun fact: If you’ve said “Fuck you whale”, you don’t need to say “fuck you dolphin” as all dolphins are whales anyway. It would be like saying “Fuck you, Great apes (Hominidae) and fuck you human”

        But you can say it if you want, it’s just superfluous, but many of life’s pleasures are.

    Ah they meant ranking. I thought they were going to say something about the hammerheads looking like that because they hit the ground face first.

    hammer heads have more of those electrical sensory organs than any other sharks. They’re awesome! Great-white-sharks are for basic bitches.

    I watched the OG Jurassic Park the other weekend, and realized I haven’t thought about a triceratops in probably a decade at least.

      Well, triceratops has the advantage of being one of the most popular dinosaurs.

      The unlucky one for me is the Parasaurolophus ( that crested “duck-billed” dinosaur). It was always one of my favorites as a kid, and I had to search for its name tonight.

      That cartoon was on TV when I was VERY young, I always wanted to watch it, but I was never allowed to have the TV to myself so I was always overruled by my golden-child brothers and sisters
