#animals are for life

i'm a little late as Easter is only in two days but this post is to remind people:

DON'T GET RABBITS FOR EASTER!!!

there is a real issue with getting rabbits as a "gift" for the holiday. it's mostly a problem when it is a short-term decision that has not been fully considered, often where new owners have not done enough research as their new pets have been bought practically on impulse. rabbits don't get the correct care they need - whether that be living space, enrichment, food, you name it.

another main issue is when rabbits are bought/adopted for easter but are returned to shops/shelters because children or adults "get bored of" or "don't have the time for" their new pet. what happens is tens or even hundreds of rabbits crowded into adoption/shelters every year. just like dogs at christmas.

IF you are thinking of getting a rabbit, PLEASE take things into consideration. do you actually want a rabbit? do you have the time for it? do you have the space? the funds? do you know how to take care of a rabbit? are you willing to do so? are you happy that they are a daily responsibility?

because, at the end of the day, getting a pet means you are responsible for its life. if there's anything above that you are unsure on, please consider. rabbits, just like any other pet, are not just to be neglected or thrown away. i am sorry to be so harsh, but you should only get a pet if you accept that you must put it first. it is your responsibility. if you cannot care for it properly, please do not get it. it is for the rabbits' sake. i am not saying this against you. the rabbits' lives matter, they are not toys.

IF you want to get a rabbit, have done your research, have considered everything, then i truly do suggest adopting/rescuing from shelters AFTER Easter because of what i stated above. rabbits who have been bought/adopted and dumped need love. please consider where you are getting your rabbits from.

as an additional note, please try not to support buying animals from shops and rather focus your attention on adoption, shelters and rescues. the animals there are most in need of homes <3.

The shape of a fish's caudal tail can tell you a lot about how fast the fish moves! A rounded tail is the slowest and a lunate tail is the fastest! The lunate tail has the most optimal ratio of high thrust and low draw, making it the fastest.

There are four types of fish scales!

Cycloid scales are thin, overlap, and flexible. They're found on primitive teleosts (like minnows and carp).

Ctenoid scales have small, backwards pointed scales (known as cterns) make the fish more hydrodynamic and faster. They're found on Advanced Ctenoids (like perch and sunfish).

Ganoid scales are thick, diamond-shaped, and mostly non-overlapping. They're found on Chondrostei (like sturgeons and paddlefish).

Placoid scales are spikey and tooth-like with nerves. These are found on Chondrichthyes (like sharks and rays).
