Seems strange to me that this moon’s liquid bodies wouldn’t be affected by Saturn’s gravitational pull.
Our moon, much less in size, has quite a pull on our oceans.
Granted, the lake bodies here don’t have that large of waves though. Course Saturn is considerably larger than the earth if my memory is accurate.

Is methane a “fossil fuel”? If so, what animals died on Titan to create it?

The Huygens craft landed on the surface of Titan and sent this single view ( although it continued to record more images of that view. ) To me it always looked like a puddle of some sort in the foreground.
