Hi, I'm Holly and I love science and assbutts.I have a B.S. in Conservation Biology, love to make art (logos, tshirts, fanart) and am a fangirl of Superwholock, Harry Potter and you know, just anything that makes me smile. This blog is a compilation of everything! Oh, and I play Quidditch. Enjoy :D

granular, slope snouted and white spotted glass frogs, which, thanks to their nocturnal habits and translucent skin (featured here), are quite photogenic at night. but given that most are only a few centimetres in length, they’re hard to find. it’s also worth noting that unlike a tree frog, whose eyes are on the side of its head, glass frogs have forward facing eyes. many species of glass frog, like the granular, are endangered.

how to “get” fahrenheit temps

think of it as a percentage of heat

40% hot? eh, kind of on the chilly side

75% hot? that’s pretty warm now

20% hot? that’s actually not warm at all

110% hot? we’re dying

IT ALL MAKES SENSE NOW

Saguaros rank among the largest of any cactus or desert plant in the world, but  a saguaro’s growth is extremely slow. After 15 years, the saguaro may be         barely a foot tall. At about 30 years saguaros begin to flower and produce fruit. By 50 years-old the saguaro can be as tall as 2 m.  After about 75 years on average, it may sprout its first branches, or “arms”. By 100 years the saguaro may have reached 7.5 m. An adult saguaro is generally considered to be about 125 years of age.  Saguaros may live at least 150 years, however, biologists believe that some plants may live over 200 years.
