So remember the meme of Sylveon being a dragon killer back when Pokémon X and Y came out?

Long story short, I got this book, Pokecology. (It's the official english release).

And yeah, they have a passage on Sylveon. But it's categorized under the section about Pokémon and how they hunt for food.

So not only does Sylveon slay dragons... they eat them.

Crested Caracara being allopreened by two Black Vultures! This is such an interesting behavior and one that's typically one-way (preening by vultures to caracara). Here you can see the caracara either attempting to reciprocate but getting rebuffed by both vultures, or telling them to stop for now.

Welcome to Trilobite Tuesday! Trilobites, while commonly seen fossilized as single individuals, were highly social animals—gathering together to mate, molt, or feed. On occasion, fossils are unearthed featuring multiple trilobites on a single slab. Discovered at a dig site near Jorf, Morocco, the specimen pictured here reveals an amazing colony of ornate 1-in- (2.5-cm-) long Devonian lichids.

Kingambit locomotion in Pokécology (English version)

This one doesn’t provide any explanation of the exact mechanism for how Kingambit hovers around on its hair throne. Maybe just being Dark type grants it enough magic to move through the air? Or Kingambit has a magnetic field that gives it lift?

Kingambit’s head blade looks too heavy for it to walk and jump as its pre-evolutions do, and it has never officially been shown standing.

Pawniard, Bisharp, and Kingambit in Pokécology (English version)

First is 2 Pawniard and a Bisharp battling a Fraxure over sharpening stones next to a river. While not stated here, I’m guessing that these disputes usually end with Fraxure being eaten by Pawniard and Bisharp since it is outnumbered.

Next is 2 different armies of Pawniard and Bisharp each led by a Kingambit clashing. Since it’s not explained either, I’m curious about how each side tells friend from foe when all individuals of the same stage look seemingly identical. Perhaps they distinguish by pheromones?
