Pine Snake
The bluffing burrower of the pines
The bluffing burrower of the pines
Red diamonds, silent strike
Big diamonds. Bigger warning.
Baggy-skinned fish-gripper
Africa's bold, loud, territorial grazer
Mangrove shadows, golden rings
The warbler with the hidden crown
Big-eyed night hunters in the trees
Hear the rattle-give it space.
Snake Island's golden ambush viper
Aruba's arid-island rattler
Rock runners of the tide line
Wild roots of the chicken
Neon rocket of the open ocean
Born in rivers, grown at sea, home again
Buzzy song of the open fields
The ray-riding runner of warm seas
Big, flat, fast: the true halibuts
Wahoo: speed-striped pelagic predator
The fish behind the fish stick
The suction-cup guardian of the North
Tube snouts. Bony armor. Dad does the brooding.
Sea-run rainbow, built to return
Built for the seafloor's deep freeze
