“““You’re not a monster,” I said. But I lied. What I really wanted to say was that a monster is not such a terrible thing to be. From the Latin root monstrum, a divine messenger of catastrophe, then adapted by the Old French to mean an animal of myriad origins: centaur, griffin, satyr. To be a monster is to be a hybrid signal, a lighthouse: both shelter and warning at once.””

love how wikipedia’s “List of unsolved deaths” starts at 11,000 BCE. like, I don’t think we’ll be cracking that cold case anytime soon.

lesbianshepard

the entire way this list is set up is VERY funny to me. like, yes, I guess 13,000 years ago WAS before the year 1900.

The population of the rare saiga has more than doubled since 2019, reversing a slide towards extinction.

The population of a rare type of antelope has more than doubled since 2019, in a remarkable turn around in fortunes.

According to the first aerial survey in two years, the number of saiga in their Kazakhstan heartland has risen from 334,000 to 842,000.

There were fears the animal was on the brink of extinction following a mass die-off in 2015.

Distressing images of carcasses strewn over the steppes made world headlines.

The saiga antelope is not a particularly well-known endangered species, but they are nonetheless important to their local ecosystem. This is an amazing comeback for them, particularly after the terrible die-offs they faced in 2015.

Since the picture with the article only shows a baby saiga, I need you all to know that this is what the adults look like. The world would be a darker place without this beautiful, silly creature.
