I'm Thomas. I enjoy doing fun things with great people. I really love science. I post mainly science and television shows, but anything is fair game. I don't tag anything right so good luck finding things. Don't be afraid to send me messages because...

First posts in a million years, it feels like.  I hope y’all are well.  My estranged relationship with Tumblr is now being revisited, who knows what’ll happen. ~

lachryphagy is the term used to describe the behaviour of tear drinking in nature, typically in environments - like the purvian amazon shown here - where sodium and other micronutrients are hard to find. 

bees and butterflies need sodium for egg production and metabolic purposes, but their diets of nectar are low in salt. so the orange julia and sulfur yellow butterflies you see here turn to the salty tears of often stationary turtles and caiman. 

and though the caiman and turtles seem to receive no reciprocal benefit from the interaction, they’re apparently happy enough to just help out. (x, x, x, x, x, x)

I have problems with both geese and swans, but it comforts me that this swan looks like it’s about to ruin that goose’s day.
