If hippopotamus means "river horse" then the water buffalo should be called bovipotamus, "river cow."

The Chemical Secret behind "Blood Sweet"?
Meet the river horse - the largest herbivorous mammal in freshwater. Despite its pig-like appearance, hippos share a surprising ancestry with whales and dolphins. Their nearly hairless skin lacks sweat glands but boasts a unique feature - the ability to produce a distinctive red, viscous liquid often called 'blood sweat.' In reality, it's neither blood nor sweat. This liquid acts as a natural sunscreen, keeping their skin moisturized and protected from cracking. It also serves as an antimicrobial agent, warding off bacterial invaders. 'Hipposudoric acid' is the primary component of this remarkable secretion." ��🌞

Doctor Who as tweets/textposts pt.4
<- | DW | ->
#doctor who#10th doctor#9th doctor#jackie tyler#martha jones#jack harkness#rassilon#11th doctor#Reinette is bizarre but makes more sense when you take it in context that Moffat is just doing The Time-Traveller's Wife AUs#the about face the Doctor does from Rose to Reinette in TGITF and the stupid lol so random 'heres a horse' stuff is whiplash#but between fireplace blink and everything with river#moffat is just writing AUs for one of the bestselling novels of 2003#frequent daily reminder that moffat hides none of his fanfic heritage he is deeply unprofessional#oh this is an anti-moffat blog if unclear#he's objectively and subjectively just bad#and i had my debates when s5 was airing im not interested in arguing objective facts about quality

Watching Spirit: Stallion of the Cimarron again as an adult is so great because not only do you appreciate the nostalgia and joy of it, the stunning 2D animation mixed with early 3D techonology and well written tight story with a main character that never speaks.
But also you appreciate that the plot relies on horses, despite not being typical talking horses in cartoons, being extremely intelligent to the point that they are aware of their captivity and exploitation. And it involves a hyper intelligent horse dismantling (or, at the very least significantly delaying) American colonialism's expansion into the west.
This horse also very likely killed many colonialists when they were either launched at high speeds from his back, kicked in the head or blown up in a train explosion.
Good for him.
#I also love how the humans continue to severely underestimate just how much damage this horse can do#imagine the Colonel rocking up to the train camp with the whole place on fire#so many men killed#all the horses gone with some probably getting stuck along the way because they're dragging literal chains#and he sees that goddamn buckskin mustang that wrecked his whole shit#and that he last saw jumping into a raging river#what a day he'd be having#that horse? played dead so he could kick off the chains on the horses and then sent a whole train rolling down a hill into another train#set the whole forest on fire - killed so many bystanders and probably woodland animals#this horse is a liability he just keeps wrecking our whole shit every time we capture him#seriously don't go near that horse I think he might be a god or something

He's a highly trained MI5 spy. He's also a fucking idiot. He's bisexual. He has mother issues. He has father issues. He digs around in trash. He has no sense of self preservation. He ran around on a broken leg for half a season and then got blown up by a grenade. He speaks French. He's a journalist. He has fumbled bomb threats on two separate occassions. He has more head injuries then you can count. He's a freak for pain. He's been in a situationship with his rival for 10 years. He throws up when he sees blood. His mom was in a cult. His dad was the leader of said cult. He is permanently having the worst day of his life. He has the saddest, wettest eyes known to man.
I didn't say his name, but he popped into your head, didn't he?
