Cottonmouths (Agkistrodon piscivorus), males engaged in ritual combat, family Viperidae, eastern US
Venomous.
Many male snakes combat, in a relatively non violent way, for the right to mate with a nearby female.
Watch til the end for a surprise visitor.

Snakes are less scary the more I learn. Why do we fear the spaghetti noodles who half heartedly arm wrestle. Other snakes get stuck in a mating ball. Snakes exist for us to laugh at if nothing else
Tumblr Sexywoman Contest 2025 Final Round
Morticia Addams
Miss Piggy
I have never in my life experienced more real “why must we pit two bad bitches against one another?”
@thebibliosphere
The noise I just made. No. You can’t make me choose.
In a show of true sisterhood, these classy ladies decide that contests like these are, in actuality, a detriment to femininity as it pits women against each other instead of uniting them. So they exit the contest the way they entered: With grace, poise, killer outfits, and an epic musical number that showcases their many talents.
(But Miss Piggy breaks into the studio later that night to steal the trophy)
I've slowly been chipping away at drawing scenes from that imaginary Muppet retelling of the Princess Bride, figured it was about time to share what I've drawn on Tumblr!
Omg. Epic.
The artist Paweł Ponichtera seems to have inexplicably dedicated a massive amount of time and effort to hyper-detailed and hyper-accurate illustrations of chinchillas engaged in historical fencing, many with clear and specific reference to particular historical treatises. So, I give you:
Hans Talhoffer Chinchillas
Harnisfechten Chinchillas
Joachim Meyer Longsword Chinchillas
Fantastical Snail Marginalia Chinchillas
Olympic Epee Chinchillas
Salvator Fabris Rapier-in-the-Nude Chinchillas
Napoleonic Saber Chinchillas
Arabic Shamshir Chinchillas
18th Century Smallsword Chinchillas
I.33 Sword and Buckler Chinchillas
I feel that @petermorwood should see this if he hasn’t already :-)
I have indeed seen them already, but that was a couple of years ago and the two website pages - One and Two - linked by @toofrenchtofunction (for which many thanks, they’re great!) weren’t up yet.
Here’s another martial chinchilla to keep the art ones company. :->
(And here’s an attempt to attach the video. It may not work, which is why I included that hotlink…)
This is the kind of quality content for which I pay my internet bill.

Oh my god damn
Cotylorhynchus.
Actually, 'Zelda' is the name of the princess. The guy who runs around smashing everyone's pots is just called 'Zelda's monster'.
did you see the article about harvester ant queens cloning male builder ants? its so cool!
Yes, I actually just read it yesterday, after hearing about it on Science Friday!
This is crazy, and as far as I know, no one has ever found anything like this before!
Ant queen lays eggs that hatch into two species
Bizarre discovery of interspecies cloning “almost impossible to believe,” biologists say
Reproduction is strange in many social insects, but the Iberian harvester ant (Messor ibericus) takes the weirdness to the next level. Queens mate with males of another species and then clone them, researchers report today in Nature, which means this ant is the only known organism that propagates two species by itself. Evolutionary biologist Jonathan Romiguier of the University of Montpellier, who led the team, calls M. ibericus “in a sense, the most complex, colonial life form we know of so far.” The finding “is almost impossible to believe and pushes our understanding of evolutionary biology,” says Michael Goodisman, an evolutionary biologist at the Georgia Institute of Technology who was not involved with the new research. “Just when you think you’ve seen it all, social insects reveal another surprise.”
Read more: Ant queen lays eggs that hatch into two species
Iberian Harvester Ants, Messor ibericus, can produce offspring of two different species, according to a new Nature study. Messor ibericus queens can produce males of Messor structor in addition to their own species. This bizarre observation is at odds with how scientists conventionally think about species, so it may prompt a rethink of these already blurry definitions.

Papercraft Rumi!! I busted out the holographic rainbow mirror paper for her patterns, glitter and shimmery silver stars for her hair, glitter pens for her makeup, and sequins for the background sparkles. This girl shines!
I may have pulled up a little late to the KPop Demon Hunters party but the party is INDEED as delightful as everybody said!!! The soundtrack has been playing on repeat in my head and in my headphones for the past week. :D

Chasing these defined my nights of my childhood in the summer
twenty years across the sea
well I didn’t need my heart today I guess
ow
anyways i just love the way kpop demon hunters stayed true to its roots in korean/asian culture, especially around the core theme of community vs individualism
the fact that it's not a single chosen one but a group of three
the fact that the honmoon is not powered by the hunters themselves but by the energy and love of the fans
the fact that gwi-ma turns people into demons by promising that he is the only one who can help them when he is in fact reliant on his army of demons to collect souls for him
the fact that "your idol" is about surrendering yourself to a single higher power while "golden" is about soaring to new heights together
the fact that gwi-ma preys on people's individual insecurities and shame to get inside their heads while rumi, mira, and zoey set them free in the end by encouraging them to embrace their differences and reminding them that they're not alone
the fact that you can see the audience cheering individually and even pushing into each other to get closer to the stage during "your idol"
while they're linking arms and cheering together and hugging during "what it feels like"
i have not seen the live action lilo and stitch but it feels like that movie sits on the opposite end of the spectrum from kpop demon hunters as a case study for how to tell a story in way that is culturally authentic and still resonates with a broader audience
and i think given that the core theme of the movie is all about community over individualism, the ending, particularly as it relates to rumi and jinu's budding romance, is really the perfect culmination of that broader theme
rumi and jinu's connection has all the hallmarks of that all-encompassing, all-consuming, borderline co-dependent first love where you keep your relationship a secret and sneak out of the house to meet up and feel like the other person is the ONLY person who really gets you
i'm the only one who can understand you, i'm the only one who will love you is the kind of thing that sounds romantic when you're 16 until you get older and realize how toxic it actually is and i love that the movie counters that in "what it sounds like" with rumi realizing that she had that love and support all along from her girls, and later, from the fans who continue to cheer them on through their comeback
it's about connection and sisterhood and love and sharing your fears and lifting each other up and becoming stronger and better together
and as compelling as i found rumi/jinu and as much as i would like to see their relationship explored more in a sequel/series, i just really love that this movie, which is clearly targeted at young women, ends on the message that romantic love is not the end all be all, that friendship is just as important if not more so than a romantic partner, that single women can lead successful, fulfilling lives, that true happiness and freedom start from within
it's crazy that this message still seems revolutionary in 2025 but given the current state of the world, it feels more necessary than ever
you're doing amazing sweetie KPOP DEMON HUNTERS (2025)
bonus:
it sucks that the backrooms and by extent liminal spaces turned out the way they did in popular culture. i love dreamy places not because they're full of Scary Screatures or whatever but because they're fun and interesting and cool and a perfect place for a girl like me to lay her eggs
i could make a nest here it would be so good it's got the perfect amount of structural support for the strands of goo to connect up and hold together easily without collapsing and forming a cozy little den for me to sleep in. but all anyone cares about is booboo's playtime party friends
Hate to be the bearer of bad news but you are one of the Scary Screatures
i'm a cute girl and everyone loves me
