#had one on my legends Z-A team for a little while #unfortunately ended up falling behind my other team members in terms of damage. still beloved but had to be put in the box for battles #but smthn tells me i just got unlucky with its ivs which made it just. unable to keep up #which is a shame bc my friends had some fairly good meowstics in their playthroughs that were like. actually pretty good in general #so i might give it another chance in a different playthrough at some point

oh my god i didn’t realize this video had audio

Okay as adorable as this looks, I’m pretty sure that’s a distress sound? A “mommy help me I’m scared come save me!” sound?

This video is from Dragonwood Wildlife Conservancy, and they are yearling (last year’s babies) Cuban crocodiles. Good news for you, this isn’t actually a distress call! According to @kaijutegu (and her giant bookshelf full of reptile resources), the laser sounds are an affiliative social call that young Cuban crocodiles use to communicate with their parents. They normally stop making the noise at around two years old, which is approximately when they start dispersing from the family group.

See, Cuban crocodiles are a super social species - and one of the few where the fathers stick around and provide paternal care for the babies! In the wild, babies would regularly interact with both parents, including when they provide food. This call is basically the type of vocalization that the babies use to communicated with their parents.

These crocodiles are being hand-raised as part of a private-sector breeding and reintroduction program (because the parents are so protective of their offspring that if you left them the babies to raise, you’d never be able to safely get close to them), and so they’re responding to the guy in the video the same way because he’s constant known safe individual and also the provider of food. He’s not a threat - his presence is a good thing, and he’s worth interacting with because it normally means food. You can also tell from their behavior and body language that they’re not stressed: some of the crocodiles are actively climbing on him and interaction of their own volition, but the ones that aren’t don’t show any indicators of hyper-vigilance. If that were a distress call, every crocodile that heard it would be alert and on edge looking for the threat. Distress calls tend to only happen once or twice, because in the wild continuing to make noise makes a baby more vulnerable: so these crocodiles wouldn’t be continually vocalizing if they felt threatened. There’s no snapping or gaping or freezing, all of which would be behavioral indicators of distress or discomfort. (Here’s a video of a baby nile crocodile being harassed by photographers which will give you a visual reference for both freezing and gaping.)

So, hey, this is certifiably cute - and good for conservation!

ETHICALLY SOURCED LASER NOISES

i love how certain posts on this site can exist in the back of my mind and i'm none the wiser to it until i see one (1) thing that can be used to refer back to it

i saw a post with different characters made into different aquatic animals, one was a box fish, and i had to pause for a moment and watch a few loops of world's fastest crouton. i literally cannot see a yellow-colored boxfish species (not even yellow spotted specifically. just a yellow colored boxfish) without thinking of world's fastest crouton

#it took me a bit to find which one this is #namely bc the dex entry didn't sound like something out of the mainline games #and so as i looked through bulbapedia trying to find it i was surprised that it was a real entry from a pokemon i didn't expect #especially to be described like that #there's another entry i wanna chime in about bc i thought it was cute #but i don't wanna skew the results from a tangent
