Hmm maybe I can work that into chapter 9😂

I think I lifted that descriptor for bear paws from somewhere else but I could not even begin to remember where.

Every time a picture of Koma in baby jail passes me on my dash (and tumblr loves throwing them at me) I imagine Tobirama from my Slow Release of Tension fic in his Snow Leopard form coming along and kidnapping Koma to have a fun day.

Random as heck I know but I felt like sharing the thought lmao

Don’t worry, baby jail is big enough for two! :)

(I’m kidding, that’s so cute 😭 I can picture them napping tgt in Tobirama’s den)

But also !! your fic was def one of the main reasons that got me into the snow leopard + tobirama agenda back when I was just lurking around fandom spaces as an anon in 2022, it’s so good. Just. Feral snow leopard tobirama?? I want to cuddle him and give him all the comfort he needs and maybe get him out of the storeroom Why Is He There

🐬 Daily Cetacean Fact: 🐬

*One of my absolute favorite animals in the ocean 🥰*

Orca Whale: Despite the name 'whale', the Orca is actually the largest member of the oceanic dolphin family. Orcas can be identified individually by their natural markings and differences in fin shape. The whitish-grey pigmentation on their back—their saddle patch—also varies from individual to individual in shape, size, color, scratches, and scarring. Like a human fingerprint, each saddle patch is different, and these differences help researchers tell Orcas apart.

Sketches up an idea for an evil 18th cent foppish locust guy.

I like all the anthro and furry art I see. Unfortunately my favorite living things do not lend themselves well to be anthro. .. He wound up kind of like a locust-satyr instead. Inspired a bit by the james and the giant peach's mr grasshopper. (the terminology between locust and grasshopper is really interesting..))

Fella the Armadillo Archaeologist!

Searching for the “Lost City of Atlantis”, Fella got lost in his little boat and ended up getting trapped on a peculiar set of Isles. He is super enthusiastic about discovering ancient secrets even though his theories are often wildly wrong. He’s been trying to excavate the mysterious ancient temples and ruins littered around the Isles but something terribly unfortunate happens before he can ever get too far. But he’s not one to give up! He’s convinced there’s a secret city underground and he wants his name on that discovery.

i think it's so crazy that mammal is such a beautiful movie about love and grief and the terrible things we do to the people we want most desperately to help and also it's two hours of barry keoghan milf porn. like we CAN have both.

Made a whole new OC the other day, she's an archeologist who is traveling in the Beanbean Kingdom in search for prehistoric life. Makes friends with a pterosaur named Blablanadon and helps take care of an odd looking egg she theorizes is a new dinosaur egg. It hatches into Dragohoho, the dragon. But she thinks it's a new type of dinosaur.

She gets knocked away and doesn't see the dragon transform back into Prince Peasley, so it's kinda awkward when Ivory takes a tour of the castle later on and the prince remembers her while she doesn't remember him. There are some draconic traits that have stuck with Peasley since the transformation and she's absolutely enthralled by that.

Ivory (or Ives, Eve, those are her nicknames) is very socially aloof but fixates about anything prehistoric. She doesn't mind being alone but when she finds a friend she's pretty loyal. Absolutely unashamed about her passions and has a strong sense of justice.

Somewhere along the line Ivory and Peasley will eventually fall in love, yeah this is a Prince Peasley shipping OC what of it xD I'm just having fun

So we covered Taxonomy in my non-Bio-majors Bio lab today, and I did put up a link on our class page to a site explaining the differences between mammals, reptiles, and birds, because I had in my notes from last semester that there was some confusion. But I was also like, surely that was a one-off, college students know what mammals are.

....had to tell one person that birds are not mammals, had to tell another that insects are not mammals.

I also emphasized that not all birds are herbivores, since some eat insects and others eat meat, but I still had people go "it has a beak, it's an herbivore" like bro? it's a hawk? HAWKS EAT MEAT.

also none of them can spell squirrel. Help.
