The unken reflex is a posture that toxic amphibians will take to show off their bright colors. It’s their way of saying “stay back! I’m dangerous!”
In California, the California Newt (Taricha torosa) will do the unken reflex to show off their bright orange bellies. These newts produce tetrodotoxin.
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.
Love that one of the America's most important keystone species is a fucked up rat with anxiety
(Beavers are the world's second largest rodent and I could probably talk abt then all day)
When I'm depressed, I draw a funny little animal. Please enjoy this opossum.
My all-time favorite snail move is when a baby ends up on an adult’s shell. They’re literally piggybacking.
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.
Garlic snails are snails that smell like garlic, if you even care.
I want to see an American Woodcock so badly that I'm actually going insane.
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.
I study ecology and conservation and I love weird little guys!
