Kayaking - BangKhunThian. (14 km)
A blackchin tilapia jumped into my kayak. Turns out it was a daddy tilapia. How do I know? Well, he spat a lot of younglings around.

Critically Endangered Blackchin guitarfish are commonly sold in Tunisian markets. They’re caught as bycatch in most local fisheries.
The Gulf of Gabes is vital habitat for these animals but is unprotected.

Blackchin #tilapia are an invasive species in #Thailand. One of the new methods being used to try and control them is releasing genetically modified variance to inhibit reproduction. Since they call these "Blackchin Tilapia 4n," I suspect that they are tetraploids.

It’s #TwoferTuesday!
This was from September 10th last year, we were visited for a couple weeks by an awesome partially leucistic hummingbird - possibly a Blackcin.
Here it is sharing a meal with a buddy (Allen’s hummingbird). San Diego north county
Maybe it will return? Leuci! 🥰
