Do you have any cursed facts about deer? They are my favorite animal.
there’s an entire subset of deer that have sabre fangs instead of antlers!
this is because the very earliest deer on the planet had both antlers AND fangs, but over time deer diverged into two separate lineages that had either antlers OR fangs and they’re both still around today!
Hormones are funny sometimes and when “love is in the air” even a big male common toad (Bufo bufo) is a good candidate for a male Mediterranean treefrog (Hyla meridionalis) to get in amplexus. #amphibian #sex #amplexus #breeding #toad #treefrog #hyla #bufo #herp #herping #italy #photography @ilcp_photographers
Made this at the request of a friend and figured it might be useful to some people with humidity loving plants in boxes XD
gynandromorphism in spiders
a gynandromorph is an organism that exhibits male and female characteristics. bilateral asymmetry can occur wherein one “side” of the animal is female and the other is male, mosaicism can occur wherein the characteristics are distributed in patches. in spiders, this phenomenon can present itself through presence of both testes and overies and split colouration. cases can also occur where, although parts of the spider are clearly male or female, the divisions can be less definite; certain reproductive organs like the palps and epigyne may be very poorly developed or completely absent. these individuals are referred to as intersexes. gynandry and intersexuality can occur in the same individual.
