We Humans Are Awfully Keen On Pointing Out How Ridiculous Other Species’ Means Of Obtaining Food Are

Living Decay

Curled in the heart of the forest lie an elk

still and quiet, he waits

in the shadows of nightfall, 

and lets the cold embrace his stationary form. 

When dawn comes

he remains, rooted to the ground

warming the earth where he lay,

nourishing the soil.

As weeks pass his soft exterior

gives way to a brittle and unforgiving interior

yet still

a family of small mammals find their way into his ribcage

and bring life back into his

hollow body.

Generations of forest creatures will come to know

his body as a beacon of being,

and a symbol of home.

Hey remember when US and Russia was all like “We’re the best!!! We’ve won the space race!!!!” But India sent a kick-ass space probe to Mars and the whole mission was fuel efficient, costed less and a roaring success in the first try and then they were like “…..wait no that can’t be true” and still have the audacity to call us “underdeveloped” or only view us as a ‘third world country’? :)

For anyone who needs more info, the probe was called Mangalyaan (which literally means space probe vehicle) or Mars Orbiter Mission (MOM) and you can also get more information here and here

>Giant tarantulas keep tiny frogs as pets. Insects will eat the burrowing tarantulas’ eggs - so the spiders protect the frogs from predators, and in return the frogs eat the insects - Is this true? Because it sounds too cool to be true -- Thank you

It is true! The frogs particularly eat ants, and ants can even overwhelm and kill a fully grown tarantula, so the spiders who learned to tolerate the frogs and not treat them as prey had a higher survival rate and it spread through entire species
