WOAH can we see the skull if thats ok?? that sounds so cool (also only 20€????)

Also since it's hollow you can stick led lights in there for this sort of effect (pardon the mushy quality):

The horns on this cape buffalo skull have been colonized by the horn moth (Ceratophaga vastella), a relative of the clothes moth. The caterpillars are able to digest the keratin in old horns, and the protuberances you see are cases or towers the caterpillars build using their own feces, as protection from predators.

Masai Mara, Kenya, July 2023.

Thought I’d seen the last of the giants for a while…then this guy rolled in.

This beast is a bull Bison, and he’s twice as large as the cow bison I did a while back.

And, yes, that is the same buck I used for a size comparison last time, just so you can see just HOW much bigger this monster is.

I've been watching videos and following reporters in gaza documenting all the destruction and aggression and it's horrible, but for some reason i found the videos of israelis moking prisoners with children's songs even more unnerving. It's objectively not as bad, but something about seeing people delight in the cruelty, and how kids are taught to dehumanize others so young, it gets under my skin and disturbs me

Yeah like I've seen some horrible shit (all those videos and photographs of dead bodies, which I personally do not like to share but I GET why people do) but something about seeing people being so balls off the wall cartoonishly evil and then posting about it online for the clout gave me such a visceral reaction like nothing else

I've hated the USA since I was little lmao. Like as early as I learned about colonization in elementary school it just made me mad and I wished that the British could've put down the American Revolution because I thought they weren't going to expand westward (of course they inevitably would have anyway, I know now how was the British empire, but I was 7 then, wtf did I know.)
