pft dyou ever think about how evil it is that dolphins and whales were made to breathe oxygen but put in the ocean and were just told 'lol figure it out'

[firelord-frowny]

????????????? its so fuckin bizarre that there are obligate air-breathing mammals that literally cannot live out of water! 

can you imagine having to spend the vast majority of your life holding your breath???

like omfg. imagine if we, as land-dwelling creatures, could only breathe water! we’d have to walk around with like... water tanks instead of oxygen tanks lmao. Or, if we’re low-tech, we have to just stay near a body of water at all times! Hold our breath for a few minutes at a time while we do our daily living activities, and then go run to the creek real fast and take some nice big breaths of fresh water lmaoooo

Prev rb reminded me but if there are any tkl fans reading this.

Tkl would have happened without Rocket Racoon and Lylla and all them, but honestly it owes so much to those funky guys.

Finalists of the 2023 Comedy Wildlife Photography Awards

Dispute by Jacek Stankiewicz from Kraków, Poland: 'I caught this scene while watching birds in the Bialowieza Forest. Young greenfinch was still fed by parents. However, from time to time birds looked like having argument. My friends interpret this scene in two ways: A young naughty kid is arguing with a parent. Or one kid is reporting to the parent that its brother did something wrong: "Look he has broken the glass in the window"'

'Excuse me sir but I think you're a little too young to be smoking' by Dakota Vaccaro from Victor, United States: 'While I was working deep in the Virginian woods, a family of grey foxes took up residence under the deck of the abandoned cottage next to my work housing. One day while practicing their hunting skills on bits of moss and branches, one of the kits lunged at a small chunk of wood and started rolling around with his prize. Tired after his hunt the kit lounged on his belly still holding the wood in his mouth which gave the strong resemblance of a cigar. I was very envious of the kit at this moment cause who wouldn't want to just lay around all day relaxing'

The Rainforest Dandy by Delphine Casimir from Brussels, Belgium: 'This picture was taken in the monkey forest in Ubud, Bali. This place is a crazy place where monkeys are king! Sometimes they give a show, sometimes they climb on you to look for fleas or steal the piece of biscuit you are trying to eat'

Otter Ballerinas by Otter Kwek from Singapore: 'An arabesque smooth coated otter'

Picture me! Picture me!! by Dikla Gabriely from Yokneam, Israel: 'A brown bear in Finland who definitely did everything to make me pay attention to him and focus on him and not the other bears'

Boing! by Lara Mathews from Melbourne, Australia: 'Taken at Westerfolds Park, a beautiful and surprisingly wild pocket of land in the eastern suburbs of Melbourne, famous for its kangaroo population. The mob was enjoying some morning sunshine when this joey decided to get silly and try his hand at boxing'

Living the Moment by Kawing Chiu from Staten Island, United States: 'Relax, lay back and enjoy the warm sun... This seal is scratching its face and it is seen lying on the side while his head is supported by his flipper. This image makes the seal like the reclining Buddha statue'

Okay after being on the Libby waitlist for like 4 months I finally started the audiobook for Throne of Glass and based on the narrator’s pronunciation I can only assume this story takes place in Otter Land.

I have not looked it up, if this is wrong I don’t want to be right

[bunjywunjy]

So let me get this straight:

Sea otter: has functional legs, can walk on land, but can give birth in water = "fully-marine mammal"

Seal: basically a paraplegic slug dog out of water, can only flop around on land, but has to give birth on land = "semi-aquatic mammal"

yeahhh I might show up to a marine biologist conference with a set of bullet points and my own projector about this one

Hero crack

Lan, in the school workshop

Lan: I wanna do some shenanigans!

Over at the Megaman's classroom

Mega: Lan is up to shenanigans now!

Lan: Ugh this twin link ruins everything

Mega: You just say that because I know when you’re up to no good

Lan: That and it’s also a pain knowing all your emotions

Mega: Don’t say that, I want to know when you’re sad and need help

Lan: Yeah but I don’t want to know when you’re “flirting” with your girlfriend

Mega: *blushing* W-Well I—Wait? Why the air quotes?

Lan: Because I can tell you’re telling Roll the worst puns

Mega: Excuse you they are PEAK romance!

i learned that the Platypus stands out as one of the most unique and intriguing animals globally, brimming with contradictions and surprising features. Here are some astonishing contradictions and exceptional traits that will surely blow your mind:

It is a mammal, yet it lays eggs. This contrasts with the common expectation that mammals give birth to live young.

It produces milk to nurse its puggles (young platypuses) after hatching, yet it has no nipples. The milk is secreted through pores in the skin, and the puggles lap it up from the mother's belly.

Its digestive system is truly distinct, lacking a stomach and also teeth. Instead, it utilizes gastroliths (small stones) in its gizzard to aid in breaking down food.

Displaying a duck-like bill, a trait typically associated with birds, it's equipped with sensors to detect electrical signals from its prey. This feature is unparalleled among mammals.

The male platypus possesses venomous spurs on its hind legs, reminiscent of a reptilian trait.

Despite its semi-aquatic nature, it boasts webbed feet ideal for swimming like aquatic animals, alongside strong claws suited for burrow-digging for land-based living.

Employing both echolocation (sound-based navigation) and electrolocation (detecting electrical fields generated by muscle contractions in prey), it adeptly hunts underwater. This remarkable ability allows it to hunt without relying on eyes, ears, or smell.

As a monotreme, it has a single opening for the digestive, urinary, and genital organs, whereas in other species these organs are separate.

What a weird animal. It's so weird that it's hilarious that when the first specimen was sent to England about 200 years ago, British scientists initially believed it to be a hoax, suspecting that someone had combined the beak of a duck with the body of an otter or beaver.
