One like nitpick thing that drives me crazy is when people call Blue Whales the largest whales or the largest living mammals or some shit like that

Because yes that is true. But when you frame it like that you are completely disregarding the absolutely batshit reality that Blue Whales are the largest animals that have ever existed on earth through the entire history of the planet and they are alive right now today

ID: 3 photos of a leech wrapped around an index finger from different angles. First is as it began feeding, the second shows it half full, and the last shows it laying on a palm after feeding, with a drop of blood near its head.

VD: the same leech pulsating as it feeds. End VD

NEW CEACILIAN JUST DROPPED!!!

A new species of Gegeneophis Peters, 1879 (Amphibia: Gymnophiona: Grandisoniidae) from the Western Ghats of northern Kerala, India

RAMACHANDRAN KOTHARAMBATH, RANJITH VENGOT, DAVID J. GOWER

Abstract

A new species of grandisoniid caecilian amphibian, Gegeneophis bavali sp. nov., is described based on two specimens from northern Kerala state in the southern part of the Western Ghats region of peninsular India. This species is distinguished from all other Gegeneophis by the combination of lacking an unsegmented terminal shield, having secondary annular grooves, and having more than 132 primary annuli. A new key to the identification of the species of the genus is presented.

The Dumbo Octopus is one of my favorite creatures, and I realize I never shared the poster I made for my convention last year! I'll be making these guys into stickers here pretty soon! 🌸
