Garlic snails are snails that smell like garlic, if you even care.
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.
A list of some beaver facts:
1. There are currently only two species of beaver: the North American beaver and Eurasion beaver. However, there's an extinct genus of beaver that existed during the ice age called the giant beaver and they could get as big as a black bear.
2. Some Eurasian beavers have been found to hold sticks and jump up and down (stick display) to communicate to and warn others about territory boundaries.
3. The basic social unit for beavers is a family consisting of the parents and several children and they live in and maintain lodges made out of logs. One family can maintain one or more lodges in their dam.
4. The entrance to a beaver lodge is underwater and is made by the beavers chewing tunnels into the bottom of their lodges. The inside of the lodge is elevated above the water. Oftentimes,the lodges will have to platforms—one for eating and grooming and one for sleeping.
5. Not only do beavers chew down trees for their dams and lodges, but they can also eat the inner tree bark and twigs.
6. Beavers will build and repair dams when they hear running water. Researchers proved this by playing recordings of running water to beavers.
Love that one of the America's most important keystone species is a fucked up rat with anxiety

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!
