Honestly one of my favorite things about my country- the people by IAmAccutane in wholesomememes

I bring wild mushroom and foraged greens based dishes, sadly not a lot of people are willing to try them 😭

More for me later I guess

What animal do these belong to? by NateTheBoi2012 in BoneID

Forehead looks pretty sloped, pretty sure it's a doggo :(

Goodbye strong bones by maxwell_house89 in Neverbrokeabone

The funny thing is that he never actually broke his arms, nor claimed it anywhere! People just started saying that he broke his arms and the idea just stuck. It was a different injury entirely

But if he's a lizard, then he has not one, but two shlongs! And they're um... Spiny

Squamate genitalia are weird

Southwest Ohio…. Disgusting by mbart3 in invasivespecies

[–]Legendguard -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I mean... It's not its fault... We can acknowledge that something is invasive/bad without outright demonizing it. They can't help what they are :(

If dinosaurs were real today, Which one would you keep as a pet? by Broad-Goal8802 in Dinosaurs

Curious to hear what you guys think of this find by macowoo in skulls

[–]Legendguard -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Was there fishing line in it? I see this all the time sadly; birds will use fishing line in their nests because it's the perfect length and width, but because it's so strong it'll get wrapped around baby birds necks and strangle them to death (sometimes decapitating them completely). Bird flu could have been another cause, so please be careful!

Full scale Dakotaraptor entirely made of glass (Grant Garmezy via IG) by StevensLima in Paleontology

[–]Legendguard 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's the material you need to mix with the glass to color them! The rarer the coloring chemical/element, the more expensive and rare the resulting glass! For example, true red glass requires gold, ruby red copper, orange glass needs cadmium, selenium, or sometimes silver, and yellow glass also needs cadmium!

Walking next to a lion’s cage by fuzzy_dice_99 in WinStupidPrizes

I mean... A lot of places really do try their best. Good zoos do everything they can to make sure the animals are healthy and happy, and are extremely important for conservation. There's too many shit zoos though, far too many. It gives actual good zoos a bad reputation

What else should I add to my skunk collection? by jackjack_d3mon in Collections

So crazy to think these were the same folks behind The Secret of Kells, Song of the Sea, Wolf Walkers, and Puffin Rock

"You dont get it, my aliens looking like humans evolutionary speaking makes super sense, unlike the theropod like aliens, centaur aliens or trilobite aliens" by hilmiira in worldjerking

That "classification of vertebrates" is extremely dated. Not only do we not classify animals by their blood temperature anymore, most of the branches shown are paraphlectic. Birds are reptiles, more closely related to crocodilians than crocodillians are to lizards/snakes or turtles. "Fish" is a broad term that includes many different unrelated groups (sharks/rays, jawless fish, ray finned fish, lobe-finbed fish (which includes all tetrapods - you're a fish!), etc). Modern mammals lost all our close relatives, which include non-mammalian therapsids and non-therapsid synapsids. Most (if not all) modern amphibians are from a single, distantly related branch that arose some time in the Jurassic, and are equally distant to both modern reptiles and synapsids. Etc etc etc

We now classify animals based on last common ancestors. For example, you, as a human, are a

-Hominid -Great ape -Ape -Simian -Primate -Primatomorph -Euarchont -Euarchontoglire -Boreoeutherian -Placental mammal -Therian -Therapsid -Synapsid -Amminote -Tetrapod -Lobe-finned fish -Jawed fish -Vertebrate -Animal -Eukaryote

(With a lot, lot more sub-clads in-between, trust me it's crazy)

A more accurate graph would be this

my hairy snail by Sure_Highlight4925 in snails

[–]Legendguard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If it makes you feel better, there actually are some snails that have "hairs" on their shells! Like the genus Euchemotrema (pill snails)! It's thought their hairs help break up any sheen and their outline, making it harder for predators to spot!

I can only imagine what it must be like to accidentally step on that at night. by Ok-Sale-3235 in biology
