I once caught a green hitmonchan.
Eh I once caught a once in a lifetime legendary Pokémon named Zapdos.
This one drops rare loot!
Fuckin love me some rare lobsters. For being ocean cockroaches, they sure are pretty
What a deliciou- I mean rare lad
does this mean there once was a time and place where blue lobsters had an advantage?
Do you think there’s a time and place where albinism has an advantage as well?
It’s a genetic defect.
Also, evolution isn’t about things being advantageous, it’s about things being hereditary and not killing you before you’ve got babies so even if a blue lobster was something that was passed along from one generation to the next, it doesn’t necessarily mean it’s advantageous to the lobster, it only means that it doesn’t prevent them from reproducing. We just tend to notice the genetics advantages without thinking about all the ways the animal isn’t adapted to its situation.
i thought albinism was good for ice ages?
What’s funny is that in fact it’s a disadvantage in snowy/icy situations because it has other effects outside of the skin/hair thing and albinism actually impairs vision in very bright situations (like when the sun reflects on snow)
Snow is also highly reflective of UV rays, and albinos are at higher risk for sunburn and melanoma.
