This unique piece came up for auction a few years ago, featuring a circular raptor nest, broken eggs and clearly visible embryos. The space where the parent sat is clearly visible, though they obviously weren’t around when the sand dune fell onto the nest in what is now Mongolia, burying it for a long eternity that lasted around 65 million years.
Southern fur seal pups in Kaikoura (NZ) have figured out a way to avoid taking their first swim in predator-filled waters. By travelling up a nearby stream, they reach a secluded waterfall pool where they can learn vital swimming skills in complete safety. A pup makes this journey only once, spending 3 days in the pool before returning to the sea with its newfound skills.
Seattle’s public transit system has had a ruff go of things lately, and that has riders smiling.
You see, of the 120 million riders who used the system last year, one of them is actually a dog. Seattle’s KOMO-TV reports the 2-year-old black Labrador mix, named Eclipse, has become a regular fixture on the city’s D-Line after she figured out how to ride the bus alone to the dog park.
A small Japanese puffer fish is the creator of one of the most spectacular animal-made structures. To impress the female puffer fish, the male labors 24 hours a day for a week to create a pattern in the sand. If the female finds his work satisfactory, she allows him to fertilize her eggs. She then lays them in the middle of the circle, leaving the male to guard the eggs alone.
fair warning the only stuff I know about TAH is from why I’ve seen camomility reblog, so this is for you, u nerd
an what I saw camo reblog is a blue insecty alien which is of course right up my alley. Allow me to mash every one of my insect-stylistic alien doodle tropes into a single frame for your exclusive viewing enjoyment. Yes, specifically you
don’t come talk to me about Croach or whatever I have no clue
oh my god people who haven’t even listened to TAH are drawing fanart because of me
