Cathy Outlet<p>Here’s a shower curtain featuring my <a href="https://ohai.social/tags/sturgeon" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>sturgeon</span></a> <a href="https://ohai.social/tags/paddlefish" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>paddlefish</span></a> and <a href="https://ohai.social/tags/sturddlefish" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>sturddlefish</span></a> designs as one of my final <a href="https://ohai.social/tags/artadventcalender" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>artadventcalender</span></a> posts. My parents ordered this from Redbubble a while back and it’s probably still the only one of its kind.</p>
Cathy Outlet<p>Someone actually ordered a shower curtain featuring my <a href="https://ohai.social/tags/sturgeon" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>sturgeon</span></a> <a href="https://ohai.social/tags/paddlefish" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>paddlefish</span></a> and <a href="https://ohai.social/tags/sturddlefish" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>sturddlefish</span></a> designs, and it turned out better than expected!</p><p><a href="https://ohai.social/tags/FishArt" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>FishArt</span></a> <a href="https://ohai.social/tags/Mastoart" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>Mastoart</span></a> <a href="https://ohai.social/tags/fish" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>fish</span></a></p>
Cathy Outlet<p>And here we have the unlikely <a href="https://ohai.social/tags/sturddlefish" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>sturddlefish</span></a> progenitors - the Russian <a href="https://ohai.social/tags/sturgeon" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>sturgeon</span></a>, Acipenser gueldenstaedtii and the American <a href="https://ohai.social/tags/paddlefish" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>paddlefish</span></a>, Polyodon spathula. </p><p>What is notable about these two lovely species is that they happened to diverge over 180 million years ago!</p><p>For reference, human beings and mice last shared a common ancestor around 90 million years ago.</p>
Cathy Outlet<p>Here, have this portrait of a <a href="https://ohai.social/tags/sturddlefish" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>sturddlefish</span></a> ! What is a sturddlefish, you may ask? </p><p>Well, it’s the product of an interspecific hybridization not thought to be possible - and yet it exists, as if to spite us for our preconceived notions. </p><p><a href="https://ohai.social/tags/FishArt" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>FishArt</span></a> <a href="https://ohai.social/tags/fish" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>fish</span></a> <a href="https://ohai.social/tags/art" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>art</span></a></p>
