Do you know any cursed pumpkin facts?. I love pumpkins

growing Giant Pumpkins is an intense and highly competitive practice as growers produce larger and larger pumpkins every year and enter them in various competitions.

the largest pumpkins currently top a ton in weight, and seeds from these prize-winning goliaths can sell for hundreds of dollars apiece proving there is indeed such a thing as a Pedigree Pumpkin.

Did you know that in Oregon there is a boat race where the boats are pumpkins? It’s called the Giant Pumpkin Regatta and it looks like this:

[sheepscot]

Damariscotta Maine also has a pumpkin regatta, most are like the picture above where paddles are the propelling force but a special section has engines attached to the pumpkins

the pumpkinfest also gives out giant pumpkin seeds (for free!) for people to grow. During the festival you can see the racers construct their boats

I love this post

This is actually a cool thing I know about!

In the wild capybaras live in large groups so naturally a female capybara will take care of not only her own offspring, but all of the other offspring in the group. So capybaras are super great mothers who will adopt pretty much anything and take care of it.

Lots of places that rescue different animals will give a group of baby animals to a capybara to raise if they have one.

Like puppies

Ducks

Deer

Emus

They are just super calm animals so they’re naturally great at mothering or just existing in a group!

mom shaped

[proteus-no]

here are some more cute pictures of them with rats and bunnies :,)

[disgustinganimals]

oh sure now everyone is like “give lonely baby creatures a capybara mama to babysit” but back when I was pushing for it it I was “naive” and “that’s our son, you can’t just leave him at home with with a ROUS while you play STARCRAFT at a LAN party.”
