OHHH NO, OHHHHOHOH NO i cant BELIEVE this is a real animal and not a cartoon character from some pixar short
its real name is the costasiella kuroshimae, and theyre actually not nudibranches, but closely related sacoglossan sea slugs that feed on algea .… .. .. . . like … .. sheep
they were discovered off the coast of the yaeyama islands in japan, and theres not actually a lot known about em – a few members of the sacoglossa branch have the ability to steal chloroplasts from algea the eat and add it to their own bodies in a Really Unusual process called kleptoplasty, which might account for their vivid green color ?
either way theyre only 4.5 mm long and all they want to do is move super slowly and eat. a true hero among us
I had no idea giant porcupines made fucking precious sounds
THAT’S THE SOUND IT MAKES!?!?!?
UN-BE-FUCKING-LIEVABLE
We got asked if this is cute and okay. I can very happily say yes, this is stupid cute and those are happy porcupine noises.
One of my favorite things about doing zoo work was all the noises you never realize the animals make when they’re excited or interested in a new thing. Coatimundis squeak and snuffle, and giant porcupines make that sound.
It’s been a long time since I’ve seen this video on my dash, so it’s time to bring it back! The information provided above is still correct, and was sourced directly from the zookeeper that takes care of this specific animal.
i mean. the real reason i made this post is to post all these photos of same-sex lion groups. they’re just gay look at them! so loving.
im not going to post a pic of the gay lions fucking but we all know there are many
they’re also just so naturally dramatic and comfortable like this guy? this man could dish on anyone at the watering hole and i’d believe him
meanwhile lionesses are like one vegan bakery short of a lesbian network to rival your average new england small city. look at them co-parenting and generally having a womanist community
they also are just very tender and are clearly liberated and more than happy to live a life without men.
also they’re all so butch i mean look at them. they all look like they know how to put up some drywall you know?? you know?
some of the butchest ones even grow little manes. look at her! queen of gender nonconformity.
Taking place in England the owners of the yard slowly kept adding sections to the contraption so when the squirrel learned one section and got the nuts, they’d add another section. It took over 2 weeks to get to the final product you see in the video.
I love how it pushed itself along in the red cart. FASTER FASTER!
