In Honor Of Gar Week! Did You Know Gars Are Prehistoric?? I Wish I Was Prehistoric…

You ever think about how weird hippos are ecologically speaking?

There's literally no other megafauna on earth that spends the entire day lounging around in water, mostly just socializing, only to come onto land to feed at night.

I remember when I used to do education programs on hippos, most people assumed they ate aquatic plants, and that that's the whole reason they were in water. Meanwhile, hippos are basically just giant nocturnal cows that eat only grass.

i forgot what this thing is

p sure that's a lined chiton! In fact I think its the wikipedia image lol

I love them! Flame lined chitons are a personal tidepooling treat where I am.

thought it was a one-off thing, but i've now seen multiple pictures and videos of red-bellied woodpeckers touching other birds with their tongue at bird feeders. why are they suck little freaks?

Science communicators at NASA have staged a press conference to clear up some of the most common misconceptions about our solar system. "The moon and the sun are not in a relationship," said one, "it's patently ridiculous. Luna and the Earth are in a committed partnership, and we've known this for quite some time." The communicator then further clarified that Sol is a long-distance partner (or a 'comet partner', as it were) in the Kuiper Belt circumstellar disc, a large-scale polycule of over 100,000 stellar objects rivaled only by the GSP (Greater Seattle Polycule).

What can baleen whales even DO about orca whales. Like can they even fight back. Imagine being a huge fat floating mass of delicious meat living in an open void with no shelter to retreat to and there are these mouth torpedos that might just decide to show up and rip you open just whenever.

I love grindr images like this, they're so awesome sauced

grinding our bulges together but mine has a higher rating on the mohs hardness scale so when we pull back yours has been ground to nothing

sad they give tissue boxes plastic labia folds but no clitoris

from the bottom of my heart: just because something makes you uncomfortable doesn't mean it shouldn't be allowed to exist
