I’ll always reblog hero rats!

this same species is also trained to identify tuberculosis in samples by smell, meaning they can test for TB at a rapid rate with a high accuracy :)

The organization that trains the rats is APOPO

You can sponsor a rat and you will get adorable personalized emails telling you how well “your” rat is doing! I did this for my sister a few years ago and she’s still getting emails about Martok the HeroRat’s mine-clearing successes and called it the best gift ever.

The Dendronotus iris is often called the Giant nudibranch, and for good reason. This nudibranch can grow to a whopping 30cm in length! It lives in muddy subtidal areas from northern Alaska to northern Mexico, at most 200m below the surface. Like many other nudibranchs, the Giant nudibranch has a very specific diet- it feeds solely on the tendrils of the tube-dwelling anemone (as seen in the picture). Funnily enough, the anemones sometimes pull the nudibranch into their tube when they try to hide, although no one seems to be harmed in the process.

“Small dogs are often labelled as being overly bossy or having ‘Napoleon syndrome’ or ‘small dog syndrome’ because of their tendency to readily employ distance-increasing behaviours. These can include barking, lunging, rushing, growling and snapping, as well as escape and avoidance (e.g. running away). Small dogs live in a world of giants.They are comparatively fragile, and even a friendly giant can hurt them if the play is too rough. Conversely, a small dog’s capacity to stand up for herself is limited by how far she can escalate matters… Even when small dogs are trying to move away, some large dogs (and many humans) approach them and greet them. It is little wonder that many small dogs learn to switch to a more forceful strategy. When all the whispers, polite requests and active attempts to avoid fail, but yelling sometimes works, then yelling will become the preferred option. Small dogs cannot be judged poorly for making that choice: life is not so easy for them.Next time you encounter a small dog, take the time to think what might have influenced their behaviour. Help them out by giving them the opportunity to be the master of their own destiny and have a choice in how the interaction proceeds.”

( ._.)./ an explanation:

The dog has an issue where his esophagus doesn’t work right; it doesn’t get food in there right because it’s all stretched out and stuff. So what dog owners (and cat owners and I guarantee you the cat ones look goofier) do is make a highchair and feed them upright so gravity can be a hero. It’s also really cute.

The disorder is called Megaesophagus.

Here is a cat with the same disorder in his eatin’ sock.

The demise of Vine is drawing closer. I couldn’t stand the thought of all those cat videos out there being lost to the abyss, so I gathered a few (i.e. nearly 50) of my favourites.

I hope you enjoy this compilation of cats and kittens being funny, silly, or just plain adorable.
