When you're sad, just remember that somewhere in the world is a cat that's sleeping in the sun that you might get to pet one day, or that maybe you'll see a really fluffy dog next time you go to the park, or maybe you'll get to see a fat squirrel doing something funny on your next walk. If you feel like giving up, just think about all the animals you'll miss if you're gone.
Porcelain crabs aren’t actually crabs! They’re another one of those freaks who has achieved the ideal body shape and gone through carcinization (becoming crab-like)!! All hail the crab!
Spotted skunks do handstands when trapped or startled! Here’s a skunk I drew 🦨
My all-time favorite snail move is when a baby ends up on an adult’s shell. They’re literally piggybacking.
what is your all time favorite predator? and prey animal?
Idk if I have any absolute favorites, but I have some I think are funny. For predators, I think archer fish are pretty funny because, like, wdym a fish learned how to nerf its prey? For prey, I have an unwavering obsession with beavers.
Also, I’m scared of seagulls because I had to fist fight one for my food once and I lost.
I am covered in hickies how am I supposed to be a respected scientist looking like this!?!
I love shrews because they’re such strange little guys. They have the largest brain-to-body ratio of any vertebrate and some species can even be toxic. Anyway, give it up for these weird little guys!
Also, shoutout to anyone else that loves rodents and other strange little guys. Let’s be friends.
Back to posting funny animals. Here’s a patrick star I drew during my paleo class!!!
I study ecology and conservation and I love weird little guys!
