Horsetail Falls is a small seasonal waterfall that only appears in late winter and early spring in Yellowstone National Park. It flows over the east side of El Capitan, so as a backdrop it has one of the most impressive walls of granite in the entire park. Then – only for part of February, and only when the sky is clear – the very last sunrays of the day selectively linger on the falls, lighting it up with a golden glow that makes the water look like lava, pictured here.

Are we sure that foxes are canines? Are we sure they aren’t just big stupid cats?

foxes aren’t canines…

[maythefoxbewithyou]

WELL, they’re certainly not felines.

I’m going to textgrab from this post by prokopetz:

I often see foxes referred to as “catdogs” on Tumblr, but I wonder if folks realise how true that really is.

There’s a phenomenon called convergent evolution that occurs when two taxonomically unrelated species exploit the same ecological niche. The features that are needed to best take advantage of a given niche are pretty much the same everywhere you go; thus, over time, those species will become anatomically and behaviourally similar, even though they’re completely unrelated.

And foxes? Foxes are what you get when an ecosystem has no native small felines, so a canine species evolves to take advantage of the ecological niche that would have been exploited by a small feline, if one existed.

In other words, a fox is literally what you get when a dog tries to cat.

So, in a way…

↟ “Beautiful things don’t ask for attention.” — Sean O'Connell; photographer. It was so windy in this waterfall cove, that my gear bag—with all my photography equipment— blew off the boulder I was camped on, and fell right into the river. Luckily all of my accessories are in secondary bags within the bag itself, saving everything. Whew. Instagram version Person in picture: @pursuitofportraitsblog
