Newborn velvet worm crawling on its mother By: Raymond A. Mendez From: Natural History Magazine 1985

[bogleech]

Most velvet worms are social by the way and form multi generational packs where the largest females are in charge and share food with all the babies 🙂

A buff butch in a kebaya? Oh my <3

Kebaya are traditional clothing found throughout Southeast Asia, and they've always been a dysphoric thing for me to wear. So! Here's a more dapper twist on a kebaya fit for a young butch.

how about a pacific spiny lumpsucker :)

Today on CHUNK! FUNK! GUNK! We rate

the PACIFIC SPINY LUMPSUCKER:

5/10 Chunk

10/10 Funk

9/10 Gunk

Once again we come across a creature I had never heard of before today. Apparently they’re very bony, but since they have such a square shape to them I give them a little chunk. They have a very very funky look and a strange gimmick, high funk. These fish are also very slimy (as found in my brief googling of them), high gunk.

Overall: 9/10

It’s eyes are so full of hope. It’s mouth is always slightly agape in a state of wonder. It’s tummy goes suck suck.

It is beautiful.

That’s honestly bizarre, I’m not sure what the source on this article is but Triceratops’ nose horn very much did have a bone core:

Some are smaller than this but there’s definitely a supporting structure there.

Maybe the article is just phrased badly but it sounds like they’re comparing it to something like a rhino horn, which doesn’t have an internal bone core. Also it seems to imply that only the nose horn of Triceratops’ was made of keratin, which is weird cause the brow horns also had a keratin sheath that could have made up a significant portion of their length. If the keratin of the nose horn “wouldn’t have been much use in a fight”, neither would the brow horns by that logic.

Also just. They’re talking about keratin as if it’s made of butter or something, again rhino horns are entirely made of keratin and they are still very dangerous! Idk this just feels like it’s been written misleadingly or just straight up incorrectly in order to confuse people.
