Happy International Women's Day!
Day of Emancipation and Women's Courage!
"Still she did not blench: maiden of the Rohirrim, child of kings, slender but as a steel-blade, fair yet terrible. A swift stroke she dealt, skilled and deadly. The outstretched neck she clove asunder, and the hewn head fell like a stone. Backward she sprang as the huge shape crashed to ruin, vast wings outspread, crumpled on the earth; and with its fall the shadow passed away. A light fell about her, and her hair shone in the sunrise."
— The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King - Book Five, Chapter 6: The Battle of the Pelennor Fields
+another version of Lady of Rohan (without helmet):
"kewpieville" by rose o'neill for the ladies' home journal, april 1925 .
"once upon a time, there was a baby named 'scootles' because she was always scooting away to find adventures. [...] little scootles held that, by a reasonable amount of industrious scooting and toddling, you could always get to some fine place."
Red Pumpkin Toadlet (Brachycephalus pitanga), family Brachycephalidae, endemic to Atlantic Rainforest in Sao Paolo State, SE Brazil
Comparison with termites and rhinocerous beetle (Enema sp.)
Poisonous.
As with other Brachycephalus sp., they lay a few eggs in moist terrestrial locations, and the young live as tadpoles in the eggs, and then hatch out as froglets.
Adults reach a max. snout vent length of up to 14 mm (0.55 in).
They are actually unable to hear their own advertisement calls, as their ears are underdeveloped.
They also do not hop, but instead slowly crawl across the forest floor.
