Did you know that many gastropods can create a pearl, including terrestrial snails? The difference is nacre which is only found in some species of mollusks and which which gives pearls their beautiful shine. Terrestrial snails occasionally produce very small translucent white pearls which are usually lost. One non-nacre secreting sea snail, the melo melo, produces gorgeous pearls that are extremely prized and rare.

I’ve been reading about werewolves on Wikipedia and I just have to say. “Werewolves are warriors that descend into hell to fight demons” kicks unbelievable amounts of ass as a concept

no but i saw a video of a woman spinning angora fiber into yarm directly from the bunny in her lap and it changed my brain like
the clothes on our body used to come from the animals we cared for. that's crazy! imagine loving and caring such a sweet lil creature, making soft warm clothes for yourself using fiber from your favorite sheep. clothes that will likely outlive the creature who provided the fiber. we loved and cared for these creatures and then carried a part of them with us. and some people still do! i'm so emotional about this i need a minute

I'm less upset about the loss of lifespan and more upset about the fact that there have been an innumerable amount of soft bodied, unique, dope as hell creatures to time. Naturally made wonders beyond my comprehension
Literally if the shelled ones were doing shit like this imagine what the non-shelled ones were doing
