Anyone who says centipedes aren’t adorable is a goddamn liar
She’s cleaning her babys an keeping them safe
She’ll keep doing this a long time after they hatch, too. She’ll hold all her babies in her legs all at once until they get big and leave

Can you imagine what a dull world most people live in, where they don’t know that prairie dogs have adjectives, or that rats can laugh, or that sharks like belly rubs, or that centipede mamas keep their babies safe with lots of hugs?
I didn’t even know that last part until today and I’m mad now while also dying of cute
I swear to god the more I learn the more nature turns into a cartoon series about talking animals (albeit one of the darker ones like Farthing Wood but hey)
