COULROLOGY FAQ

Who are you? ~ My name is Dr. V, and my goal with this blog is to share everything I know about clowns with you, while also conducting research and experiments to learn EVEN MORE!~

What is Coulrology? ~ Coulrology is the study of clowns. This includes everything from clown biology and evolution to their history and societies!

Is Coulrology the same as Clown Husbandry? ~ No. While many topics overlap, Clown Husbandry focuses specifically on the genealogy and breeding of domestic clowns for specific purposes. Usually companionship!

Where can I discuss Coulrology with other students? ~ Feel free to join our BRAND NEW Discord server!

How can I offer my support? ~ Other than sharing this account and it's posts, you can also take a look at the Ko-Fi page! (WORK IN PROGRESS)

While harmless to their bodies, they will psychologically mimic the effect of being 'buzzed', 'tipsy', or even 'shwasted'!

Did you know? Clowns can inflate their noses up to a diameter of 30 cm. This is known as "honking".

While this behaviour is often seen when it feels threatened, a trained clown may also honk for entertainment. Releasing the contained air in a burst creates their iconic sound.

[valdevia]

Did you know? Clowns have a pouch above their stomach where they can store swallowed objects for several hours.

A classic clown trick consists of ingesting many handkerchiefs tied in a rope, which are then regurgitated to the audience's delight.

[valdevia]

Did you know? A clown's body is so flexible it can fit in a volume 1/5 its regular size.

Clown cars are a common attraction made to show this ability, with up to 20 clowns fitting in a small vehicle like this one. When opening the door, they will make their entrance in a blast!

[Image ID: A blurry circus tent on a colorful background with white text that reads "Clown fact #36 / Scare Clowns are a hybrid species! / @thecoulrologist". End ID]

They are always seen as a 'scary version' of the species they're related to and often have a mix of traits from various other species as well!

For the last 70 years, clowns have lined the pews of an east London church in tribute to their late master, Joseph Grimaldi.

Regarded as the father of the modern-day clown, Grimaldi transformed the role and appearance of the comic performer in the 18th century, delighting audiences, including Charles Dickens.

[Image ID: A blurry circus tent on a colorful background with white text that reads "Clown fact #32 / All clowns are acrobats, but not all acrobats are clowns!" / @thecoulrologist". End ID]

Clowns need to be at least a bit acrobatic to perform their tricks, but not all acrobats sport the iconic face-paint markings!
