A 9-year-old girl who was killed by a russian missile in her home in Lviv tonight.

The world continues to pay with our lives for useless and impossible diplomacy with russia. Our children are expendable.

Cuttlefish can change color to fade into the background. It can do it amazingly fast.

more importantly they’re walkin on little peets

That’s a unique and special characteristic of only these particular cuttlefish! Look at how they use two flaps of tissue like “hind legs,” with little protrusions that even act like TOES! No other cephalopod has those at all, and no other cuttlefish use their outer arms like front legs, either!

These are cephalopods evolving into “quadrupeds!!”

They do this to conserve swimming energy while they hunt, which has worked out so well for them they’re pretty poor swimmers, like a bird on its way to flightlessness.

The stripes flowing down their skin make it difficult for their prey to discern which way they’re walking or how fast. Then the “flamboyant cuttlefish” gets close enough to shoot out the two specialized arms cuttlefish use like a chameleon’s tongue 😀

little peets for maximum efficiency stalking and killing :)

And I know what some of you may be thinking: “a slow-moving, highly conspicuous little guy just trotting along on the seafloor? How come they don’t just get eaten to death?”

It’s because they’re incredibly, horrifically toxic! Poisonous as shit! Just a buncha lackadaisical, impeccably dressed little fellers made of pure mutually-assured destruction! ☺️☺️☺️

it’s also important to note that they are just

REAL FUCKIN SMALL

and this also makes them easy for larger predators that are more resistant to poisons to miss down there on the seafloor
