Chimera cats

I love how most people think of Venus

but Chimera cats can look much more different

(if anyone else wants to add please do)

Chimeras are really interesting especially when you consider that they can and do occur in other species as well!

While they are super cool, I also want people to give calicoes and torties the respect they deserve too because the cellular function that causes them is super interesting. It’s separate from what causes chimerism. I would highly suggest looking up X-inactivation and Barr body formation for anyone who’s interested in that kind of stuff.

I’m by no means an expert so I don’t really want to try to explain and chance getting something wrong. I really only learned the very basics of this, but it was still a joy to learn.

#biology is so cool #i want to cry it's so good #i almost fell out of my seat when we talked about this stuff in class #that good shit

Some WIP writing

https://docs.google.com/document/d/1BRtEG7m2aGv8ZmT0mmgowWc-7DTM-EiQMcYfWvQrFUY/edit?usp=sharing

I’ve been fixing up and adding to a bit of writing from last year. I never share any of my private writing so I guess here it is. There’s probably a couple of paragraphs that fade into nothing because I’m still editing. Let me know what you think? Anyone interested in continuing to read it?

#blllusl;ghsdlkf #what am I doing #sharing my writing makes me anxious #more anxious than sharing art #more insecurities I guess #my writing

But what if harpies.... with.... no boobs.......? Muscular chests shaped by their adapted sternum..... extra vertebrae and a pygostyle that help control their tail feathers...... having a completely unique language because they have a syrinx instead of a larynx so their vocal flexibility is off the charts... being the slowest runner because of toe configuration... trouble wearing any kind of leg coverings because their talons constantly rip them...... n-nose feathers.........

#harpy #I've been thinking about harpies a lot lately...#studying bird anatomy inspired me #I love bird skeletal adaptations #they're so cool #I think harpies should not be mammals #unpopular opinion

Baby bird season is incoming and I’d like to remind everyone that birds do not have a significant sense of smell. Bird parents will not reject birdlets because you have handled them.

If you see smol birbs with few or no feathers on the ground, you can safely put them back into their nest, bird parents will still care for them.

If you see smol birbs with some or most feathers on the ground, please leave them there, as bird parents are probably nearby watching and feeding.

nakey bird = accidentally fell out, is cold and scared, put back in nest! if you can’t reach the nest, try to put it on a wide branch or fork so predators can’t get at it as easily.

scruffy feather bird = starting to try the fly thing, not very good at it. only put in nest/branch if predators abound, i.e. you have four outdoor cats and they’re licking their chops.

fluffy feather bird = smol fly guy! do nothing. can probably get away from predators and will flip its shit if you pick it up.

Reblogging this because I’d always heard the ‘Don’t touch a distressed bird its mom will reject it’ thing treated as fact before now, I didn’t realise it wasn’t true…

illogical-bullshit

Spring is coming, time to reblog this again.

an equally friendly reminder to not let your cats and dogs near downed woodland animals. The bacteria they carry can be very harmful and a dog that’s gentle and sweet with you is likely to consider a baby bird as a tasty mouthful.
