He washed up on shore during a windy afternoon. The birds were pecking at him, and I put on gloves and carried him out into the water. Hopefully he’ll make it, but I wouldnt be too shocked to see him washed up again tomorrow :( Anyway, would love to know what he is. One pic white (after I scared off the birds), one red and inking when I was trying to gently nudge him into the waves.

Hii so I'm 23F and for context I'm in a developing country (India) and I did my undergrad in biomedical sciences with a specialization in biotechnology. I didn't do amazing in my undergrad and only caught up well during my final year bc that's when I got really interested in marine biology. I watched anlot of documentaries related to it and decided that I would do my master's after 2 years (due to lack of external support and financial situation). I almost got a job at my city's aquarium but I couldn't go because my grandmother passed away and since the job involved relocating i had to pass o ..read more
