That rabbit/hare post is messing me up. I’d thought they were synonyms. Their development and social behavior are all different. They can’t even interbreed. They don’t have the same number of chromosomes. Dogs, wolves, jackals, and coyotes can mate with each other and have fertile offspring but rabbits and hares cant even make infertile ones bc they just die in the womb. Wack.
These
are more genetically compatible than These
and that’s why morphology-based phylogeny has Issues
@aviculor
The problem is perspective. People always think dogs are the ‘standard’ animal, the metric to use for whether or not two organisms “look like” they’re related. When in fact they’re a massive outlier due to the fact that we fucked up this lineage of wolf beyond recognition with selective breeding. It’s why people always say “breed” when they mean “species”, especially when talking about groups like lizards which can’t even be defined cladistically since some of them are closer to snakes than each other. To say nothing of fish.
I once read an article that emphasized there is no such thing as a fish. Sharks and rays, lamprey, lobe-finned fish like lungfish and coelacanth, bichir and sturgeon, and of course the multiple infraclasses of more “modern” fish groups are all only very distantly related to one another. They’ve maintained semi-similar body structures only because there are limited ways to efficiently move through water as a vertebrate.
This
And this
Are more distantly related from one another than you and I are from a lungfish
Which is absolutely fuckin wild.
Not only that, but all of us air-breathing land vertebrates, all the lizards and chickens and people and frogs, are closer to one another than those three “fish” are to one another as well.
these
are genetically closer than these
and…

It’s 2019 We Seriously Need to Stop Using Fish as Party Decorations
I got texted by a friend late last night and they were super worried bc they went to a party where the host used feeder goldfish as decorations in little bowls! I felt so sad for those poor fish!
I offered to take them and they drove me 4 little goldfish to me late at night and I quickly set up my 36 for them to quarantine in for the time being!
(It’s not much but it’ll do for the time being, and I’ll deff be going out to buy them some silk plants today)
The poor things are so tiny I have to crush up pellets for them!
Unfortunately when I checked on them today one of them didn’t make it through the night, but the other three are still trucking along! I’m gonna give it some time before I try naming them haha.
But seriously it’s 2019. Why is it still seen as ok to use living animals as decorations? Especially if you don’t have any plans on what to do with them afterwards? Goldfish need a lot of space and heavy filtration and a bowl smaller than my hand is not fit for anything to live in. Idc if they cost a couple of cents each, they’re living animals that can hurt and suffer and need proper care. It boils my blood that people think it’s ok to do this
Cheers and hoping these three do well in the coming weeks!
Got them a few silk plants for the time being

If you’re trying to figure out if it’s a crow or a raven, remember that smaller bird=smaller word, so crows are the little guys. If you’re wondering, huh, is that big enough to be a raven? It’s a crow. Ravens are startlingly large if you’re used to crows. Ravens are real big. Ravens are hawk sized. Ravens are bigger than your head.
Here’s a size comparison.
and here is a crow with a human
versus a raven
So if there is any doubt that that croaky black bird is big enough to be a raven, it’s probably a crow.
Both wonderful

It’s Meep! Meep is a bit of a celebrity in the axolotl world. She is believed to have a form of dwarfism and is not significantly overweight, although she looks it especially in this photo.
The owner is a well-known and experienced handler who has four other axolotls that are way more… axolotl shaped lol. But she is healthy, not being overfed or suffering due to poor husbandry.
Actually Cute!

Emerald Green Snail (Papustyla pulcherrima)
Also known as the Green Tree Snail or Manus Green Tree Snail, the emerald green snail is a species of terrestrial camaenid gastropod that is endemic to Manus Island in Papua New Guinea. Emerald green snails typically inhabit rain forests and are usually found in trees.
Although Papustyla pulcherrima is listed as Data Deficient by the IUCN it faces severe threats due to overharvesting for commercial purposes and habitat loss.

catfish simultaneously look like they possess infinite knowledge of the universe and like they just have the mii theme playing in their head nonstop
you see what i mean
they know everything but it all cancels out
Everyone please look at this snapping turtle, walking to the pond outside my house, still groggy from a 6-month nap.
the music made this one of the most hilarious things i have ever seen, thank you so much.
How do I tell between if a betta fish biting their fins or if they hurt their tail on a plant or something?
Fin biting tends to look like chunks are missing from your fish’s tail. When they tear them on something there tends to be splits and it looks like ribbons if that makes sense?
^biting and vsplitting
This is such a good example
