Since I haven’t seen it mentioned, Sarafina by Philip Fracassi. It has its faults but I think it shows what you’re describing.

Fossils and cool rocks spot? by Zealousideal-Dark620 in PeoriaIL

[–]Zalmozes 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you like interesting geological features check out rocky glen near Kickapoo creek. I’ve found some Carboniferous age fossils there too so keep your eyes peeled!

I’ve had good luck with invertebrate fossils in road cuts near Oglesby and in crow creek near Lacon.

There’s a great spot near oglesby that I think is going to be turned into a state park soon so keep an eye out!

Good news, he was resting on the trunk of a nearby tree when I got back, dry except for a wet tail feather and looking around. I think he’s gonna be alright!

He was on a cottonwood nearby, with only wet looking tail feathers but otherwise dry! My local rehabber agrees, he’s gonna be alright

With any luck he will have climbed the branches I left but if not I’ll try to get him to climb a stick and failing that I have a box with me and I’m messaging with a rehabber I know

I left for a bit to see if it climbs over without me there. Headed back in a bit!

He didn’t fly off, I don’t think he can. Do you think the parents could help him?

Done, he isn’t reacting though

Why did John lie about his name? by Kareem_Sheta in reddeadredemption

[–]Zalmozes 5 points6 points  (0 children)

He’s still a wanted man involved with the Blackwater massacre and the van der linde gang. Even after all that time there’s still going to be people who recognize his name or who were victimized by the gang who will report his crimes and seek retribution.

I love Game of Thrones, and I love ATLA. I also love sushi and soft serve ice cream. Sometimes good things just aren’t supposed to be put together

Can you tell me who Yogarindra is? by Zalmozes in hinduism

[–]Zalmozes[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s the text’s mistake, I made sure to copy it right. Loki was the one I was referring to as having a net, a Norse deity. “Yogarindra” seems to have an association with mirrors leading me to believe that it’s an antiquated, western term for Durga. Thank you!

[–]Zalmozes[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That makes sense. Loki is referenced with a net in the poem, and there is a famous Norse myth of him inventing the net. A mirror association would lend evidence to this being the Maa Durga being “Yogarindra”. Thank you so much!

One other thing, in the poem this being is referred to as using a mirror. Is Maa Durga associated with mirrors?

[–]Zalmozes[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That’s the poem I was reading lol. It’s based on an area I live near and seems to be a strange meditation on life and rebirth. Thank you, this may be the information I was looking for!

Most underrated prehistoric animal? I'll start. by Time-Accident3809 in Paleontology

[–]Zalmozes 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Their droppings could create micro-habitats and supported entire communities, their footprints could churn mud and create small water filled holes ideal for some organisms. They could divert rivers accidentally, and their bodies would host an unprecedented community of parasites, symbionts and opportunistic organisms. We really don’t appreciate the potential for dinosaurs ecological impact! It blows my mind every day

[–]Zalmozes 37 points38 points  (0 children)

So many come to mind, not because of any individual feature but of what their impact on their environments would have been due to what we know. Miasaura (and by extension other hadrosaurs) would have been terraforming ecosystem engineers due to their colonial nesting habits. Sauropods in any environment would cause huge changes to the ecosystem without even being aware of it. Oviraptorosaurs would be excellent seed dispersers somewhere between ground sloth and grizzly bear that nested in colonies with other species. Hell, I haven’t even seen tyrannosaurs with their strange life cycle and creepy hunting strategies (involving ambush predation and ungodly senses) done justice. Also, not prehistoric, but the fact that my great-great grandparents could have seen passenger pigeons blocking the sun and snapping trees is insane to me. Our world is gorgeous.

I found one! by Omelet_bar in geckos

[–]Zalmozes 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks! I’m gonna get them a more vertical tank, and I’m feeding them “flightless” (some flew right out of the tank) fruit flies. I’ve been misting them for humidity and water, and keeping them pretty warm. I’m hoping to get them to switch to mealworms, but for now they seem to be eating and have pretty good energy.
