Gry Sagebakken is a she. I suppose it’s a simple typo, since you probably looked at her website before linking to it, but it oughta be right. Of course, these are strange days, males get pregnant and consume their offsping and one can’t take anything for granted, but I can assure you that even her first name is female.

Great post! Thanks! Sharks are insane creatures. I am a college sophomore (2nd year) with a dual major in Chemistry and Psychology @ Duke. By the way, i came across these excellent chemistry flashcards. Its also a great initiative by the FunnelBrain team. Amazing!!!

That's not good parenting at all! Sharks aren't the best parents either, they let their pups eat each other in the womb. When shark embryos get hungry an unborn sibling makes a tasty treat.

I guess this proves pipefish are atheists.
