The Nineteenth Beast!! It’s fully underwater now, and the shape of its front limbs and its tail and back legs are becoming optimized for swimming. The rib-structures that support its gas sacs don’t need to be so lightweight anymore, so they’re thicker, stronger, and more pointy for defense. Ok now listen to this song and replace “baleen” for “Jolene” in your head.

Aaron Diaz did some more rad digressions from a previous beast recently, if you’d like to see them!
