Yeah. I was about to say. He’s that fast because he’s being paid by the pound, not by the hour. So he has to or else he won’t be able to make enough money to put food on the table.

Now that tomorrow is Halloween, here’s a spooky psa: if you find a bat inside your house, NEVER attempt to catch it barehanded! Bats are one of the most common carriers of rabies and they don’t need to bite you or your pets to transmit it–just by breathing in their saliva (or getting some in your mouth, nose or eyes) or coming into contact with other potential vectors like blood, urine and faeces is often enough to pose a risk. 

Call the relevant authorities to help you transport it away from your home, and make sure that your pets haven’t had the chance to paw at it. If you live in an area where bats are common and your pets are the types to try and chew on other living beings that cross their way, please remember to keep them inside during dusk and dawn (when bats are leaving and returning from their roosts). Investing in netting is also a good idea. Remember to scour your property to shoo away any bats that might have landed there. 

Stay safe and happy Halloween!

An important thing related to this: there have been a number of people who tried to shoo bats out of their house and came into contact with them without realizing it, and because they were unaware, did not seek treatment for and eventually died of rabies. You can get scratched by a bat without really feeling it, and if they’ve groomed recently, there’s a risk of exposure from their saliva on their claws. 

Bats that end up inside houses are more likely to be rabid than ones you’d see out at night - staying in populated and/or bright areas is definitely abnormal behavior for a bat and is often an indicator that it’s sick. Don’t try to get rid of bats yourself, call the professionals, and get medical treatment if there’s any sort of risk that you came into any physical contact with one.

The Great Pyramid of Giza has been probed with the tools of modern particle physics by scientists who say they have discovered a huge, secret space hidden within its ancient walls.

It is located above a tall, cathedral-like room known as the Grand Gallery, and this newly found space is comparable in size — about 100 feet long, according to a report in the journal Nature.

That makes it a major structure within this royal tomb, which was built around 2500 B.C. and is considered to be one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World. Yet until now, despite centuries of study, no one knew this space was there.

its weird to think horses were ever ‘prey animals’ because what fucking predator looks at a 8 foot tall ENORMOUS beast with pitch black devils eyes, terrifying teeth and extremely powerful legs and think ‘yeah lets go attack that one’

[degenerarchy]

well moose are still prey animals so

[demonius-darkblade]

thats fucked up, a moose is like a horse with extra weapons

Would you rather they be predators

There’s a good reason palm oil is the most produced vegetable oil in the world: it’s relatively cheap, versatile, and has a really high yield. Oil palms can produce up to ten times as much oil from each harvest than any other vegetable oil crop would when grown on the same amount of land. It can’t be produced just anywhere - oil palms only grow within 10 degrees north or south of the equator, a tropical range that is also home to the highest amount of biodiversity in the world. The clear-cutting that prepares land for traditional methods of palm oil farming has already destroyed huge swatches of rainforest habitat across south-east Asia and Africa. As oil palms are the most efficient and widely-used source of vegetable oil in the world, there’s no truly viable replacement crop available; instead, conservation efforts are focusing on developing sustainable oil palm farming techniques that prioritize preserving rainforest ecosystems. 

Developing viable sustainability initiatives is an ongoing process, but since the establishment of the Roundtable on Sustainable Palm Oil in 2004, more than 3500 companies and organizations around the globe have recognized the importance of the project and signed on as members. Currently, almost a fifth of the palm oil produced in the world - 19% - is certified sustainable by the RSPO.  

You can most easily support sustainable palm oil initiatives by buying products made with sustainably-sourced palm oil and supporting zoos that are member of the RSPO. When you buy from companies that are members of the RSPO, especially during high-volume shopping seasons for products that contain palm oil like Halloween, you’re making sure that choosing sustainable ingredients is a viable business model; by supporting zoos that are RSPO members, you’re ensuring that their research and conservation expertise is able to inform future  sustainable palm oil production directives.

The poster above contains some of the biggest candy-producing brands that are part of the RSPO that you can choose if you’re like to support when purchasing Halloween treats in the coming weeks, but it’s by no means a complete list. There’s so many companies involved with the project around the world that it can be hard to keep track - so the Cheyenne Mountain Zoo has created a really handy free app to help you out! Just input a company or product name, or scan the barcode on a package, and it’ll confirm for you if it’s made with sustinably-sourced palm oil. 

The United States is one of the top ten major consumers of palm oil in the world, so every small choice you make to choose sustainable products has a direct impact on ensuring the survival of rainforests and the animals who live there. 

Let’s make this Halloween both sustainable and spooky by supporting companies that use RSPO-certified palm oil!
