🚨 CONTAINMENT BREECH 🚨

What color are orcas' eyes?

In short, mostly brown. In long, it's a bit complicated as Killer whales (and for that matter, all cetaceans) have multi coloured eyes! Unlike us humans, who have a singular coloured iris and a white sclera, cetacean eyes come in more flavours. Their iris is circled by a pale ring of varying colour, and the surrounding sclera is more often than not coloured too, sometimes even bi-colored. I have actually been working on a cetacean eye-colour-chart thing so I have some neat illustrations ready.

Here you can see the components that make up a cetacean's eye. It should be noted though that when relaxed, the eyelids cover much of it, leaving almost only the iris visible. As an example: a Harbour porpoise (Phocoena phocoena). On the left a clear view of the eye in its totality; on the right as visible in life.

Onto the whale in question. All cetaceans have beautiful brown irises: in many it is an unbelievably rich reddish hue when sunlight hits it directly. In shadow or underwater it looks more subdued though. Then comes the pale ring which in Killer whales is quite variable: in some animals it is very pale, almost white, while others have beautiful bright blue rings. The sclera appears two-toned in blackfish as far as I've seen. Killer whales have a rather modest dark brown area of sclera around the iris-pale-ring-combo, with the surrounding "base" sclera reddish pink. For comparison, False killer whales (Pseudorca crassidens) have a bit more substantive dark brown sclera area, with the surrounding sclera a striking bright red.

I hope this answers your question! This makes me want to finish this chart haha so maybe that'll come soon-ish in its totality.

The cat is right-pawed and I’m laughing too hard about this.

[arborealgargoyle]

this is actually really interesting because despite not actually having that limb the cat is still able to communicate exactly what it’s trying to (which seems to be “don’t touch this cup” or “this is my box”). the other cats respond to its gesturing because they recognize what it’s saying (you can see them pull their heads back or bat their own paws in response). most of the time when cats tell each other to stop doing something they aren’t actually using any real force–it’s just a gentle bop. the hitting isn’t really the point!

i actually do a version of this with my own cats all the time. i never hit them but i’ll wave a hand at them to say “no stop it” and they understand fully despite the fact that i never make physical contact with them.

this cat may be disabled but it is perfectly capable of telling its friends and family to step the fuck off

The New England Aquarium education staff frequently talks about how intelligent and trainable lumpfish are, but man, this video really brings it home. I’ve seen fish trained to swim through hoops before, but the spin behavior is really cool (and the super retro music definitely set the tone of the entire video).

Hey guys, just a warning because I feel like this bot is targeting LGBT tagged items. If you get a message like this one, you won’t be able to view the post if you click because it will send you to an endless log in screen or tell you you need to follow the person to see their stuff. It’s a dummy account.

The message is designed to be upsetting so you will want to click it and see the contents.

I was upset enough to click but luckily I was in the app so i knew it didn’t make sense to ask me to log in again. I then looked CLOSELY at the log in page and realized the url is fake. This is a phishing attempt and I don’t want any other lgbt people to be taken in by it. Be careful out there.

 if you ARE in New York, there were two very severe hoarding situations uncovered recently.  One is in Yonkers and the other is in  Westchester County.

Yonkers cat rescue: around 200 cats discovered in a house are being handled by the Yonkers Animal Rescue.  They do not utilize fosters, but they badly need food, money, and support.  They’re reaching out to other cat rescues in the area that DO use fosters.  The cats appear to be social.

Those interested in fostering one of the Yonkers cats can call 201-981-3215.

Cat food can be sent to the Yonkers Animal Shelter 1000 Ridgehill Boulevard Yonkers NY 10710

To make a cash donation, call the shelter at 914-377-6730.

Westchester County situation: around 150 cats are being handled by the SPCA of Westchester.  These cats were left alone without food and water for days after their owners passed away.  These cats were called ‘abysinnian mixes’ by the folks I spoke to.  They mostly need financial support.

Hogwarts Legacy update!

We’ve confirmed the plot: there’s an uprising among the race of hook-nosed bankers who control the economy. (Note that the more evil they are, the bigger their noses are. There’s a good one who has a big nose but he used to be evil when he was younger.) They’re “rebelling” because they want their stolen cultural artefacts to be returned to them and want to not be oppressed anymore, which for some reason means they also want to massacre their oppressors’ entire race, because of course marginalised people asking for liberation actually secretly want to kill you. As part of this sinister cabal’s nefarious plot for white—I mean, wizard—extinction, they want to kidnap a child, because that’s what hook-nosed bankers like to do, right? And their leader is willing to do anything for material gain, up to and including teaming up with fascists who hate his race.

You guys know that conspiracy theorists think Jews funded the Holocaust, right? They claim we did it so we could milk it for reparation money afterwards. And did you know they think we kidnap children? Or that we actually want supremacy rather than equality, and plan to subjugate the rest of the world for our own gain? Presumably you’ve at least heard the claim that we control the banks. And you know this is all very popular with the alt right, don’t you? Have you also heard that this game’s original head developer was an alt right YouTuber?

Don’t act like this is a fucking coincidence.

No, JKR wasn’t involved in the game, and it’s actively intended to be trans-positive. Yes, she gets money from it, and will likely donate some of that to anti-trans causes. But even if you pirate the game so she doesn’t make any money off of it, you’re still going to be be playing the fucking Protocols of the Elders of Gringotts.

Fucking TALK ABOUT THIS.

Fastest Bat Alive

[albertabats]

Brazilian (or Mexican) Free-tailed Bats (Tadarida brasiliensis) are the fastest bats out there! They are actually the fastest mammals! In one study these bats were averaging 25m/s or 90 km/hr while the fastest flights were recorded at around 44.5m/s or 160 km/hr! Truly they are #JetBats Check out the study here: https://royalsocietypublishing.org/doi/full/10.1098/rsos.160398?ssource=mfc&rss=1

Northern Arctic hares have a strange habit of fleeing by hopping on their hind legs instead of running on all fours, and no one knows why the hell this happens
