if whales are ungulates do they also have four chambered stomachs despite being carnivores

YUP THEY SURE DO

they use it for mashing up fish now but the design is pretty much the same

very odd-toed

bunjywunjy

actually, cetaceans are even-toed ungulates!

which is hilarious, because zero is technically an even number, so the toe math still works out.

Only some whales are carnivores, many are filter feeders who eat plankton.

bunjywunjy

the plankton they're eating is specifically zooplankton- tiny animals and larval crustaceans/fish!

all extant cetaceans are carnivores, but sometimes the prey they hunt is very small.

Photographer, Lassi Rautiainn, tracked a female grey wolf and a male brown bear, in FInland, for 10 consecutive days. They spent time together playing and even sharing food. "It's unusual for a bear and a wolf to agree in this way," the photographer said.

advice i think we should tell children is that when adults say stuff like ‘now that i’m an adult i get really excited about stuff like coffee tables and bathrooms and rugs etc’ they don’t mean ‘and now i don’t care about blorbo and squimbus from my childhood tv shows anymore’ bc your average adult still loves all the same pop culture stuff they always did; they just have a greater appreciation for the mundane as well. growing up just means you can enjoy life twice as much now. you can get really excited about a new stuffed animal AND about a new kitchen sponge. peace and love

concerningwolves

You get bigger so you can store even MORE love and appreciation for the world inside of you

why can't manatees bounce around on land like seals

a simple reason!

THERE IS NO BOUNCE IN THIS THING. it's just bones. open bones.

seal and sea lion skeleton for comparison:

LESS BONES!! MORE BOUNCE

bunjywunjy

okay so what I'm getting from the notes is that a lot of people had NO IDEA that manatees are more anatomically similar to whales and dolphins than seals! they also did that thing where they just yeeted the entire pelvis and grew a fin- their tail is, in fact, a tail c:

it's even more obvious with their dugong relatives, who just have a full-on fluke back there!

complete with a little smirk to go with it.

Mammals love returning to the ocean. We’ve done it three separate times! Whales and dolphins are related to cows and hippos. Manatees and dugongs are related to elephants. Seals and walruses are related to dogs and raccoons.

bunjywunjy

four! four times.

these things sprang forth from either odd-toed ungulates or a DIFFERENT elephant relative, scientists still aren't sure which. either way though, RIP.
