i think one of my fave shark facts is this thing that some species of sharks do where they sorta peek their heads out of the water to see whats above the surface…..its called spyhopping and great white sharks do it all the time

This gave me so much serotonin for some reason.

They look like they forgot they can breathe underwater and think they’re drowning

#dont they reckon they learned this from whales?#bc whales have been doing this for as long as weve been observing them but sharks have only started doing it in the last decade or so#OH HEY THAT REMINDS ME#ON THE TOPIC OF SHARKS LEARNING THINGS FROM OTHER SPECIES#theres a pod of orcas that have recently started hunting sharks off the coast of south africa#started with one orca with a collapsed dorsal who reportedly HATES sharks and was the only orca on record to hunt them routinely#WELL#he taught his buddies and now theres a whole pod that hunt them#and the sharks (who arent used to being predated by anything) USED THE SAME EVASION TECHNIQUES THAT THEIR OWN PREY USE WITH THEM#so seals and turtles and etc will try to evade a GWS by swimming in a tight circle and keeping the shark in their line of sight#the GW has a larger turning circle than the prey so if the turtle/seal/whatever is able to got into the right position then they can evade#the shark. well the orcas started hunting the sharks and the sharks TRIED EMPLOYING THE SAME TACTIC THAT THEIR PREY USES#this is huge in terms of lateral learning bc its not as though the sharks have an instinctive orca evasion technique bc if they did it#would be something different. given that sharks are solitary hunters but orcas are pack hunters and the smaller turning circle method#will only work with a solitary hunter and definitely HAS NOT worked when applied to pack hunters. BUT THIS MEANS!! that the sharks are#intelligent enough to recall the behaviour of their own prey’s successful evasion techniques AND TO THEN MIMIC IT THEMSELVES.#incredible!!!!!!! but yeah as stated it very much only works against solitary animals so the sharks that employed it did not get away and#the orcas have killed a handful of GWs and literally all the other sharks have fled the area entirely - like - there’s not a single#one to be found and the ones with tracking devices show them getting the fuck out of dodge and of course this is having a big negative#impact on the local economy which runs largely on shark tourism. but yeah like the facinating thing here is that an adult orca has taught#fellow adult orcas how to hunt sharks AND the sharks have tried to employ evasion techniques that they have known to work in the past#its two instances of lateral learning and ONE OF THEM IS CROSS SPECIES LATERAL LEARNING#its amazing!??!?

ok you can not just leave all of this in the tags this is fascinating

can’t leave these out either #hold the fuck up what#this reminds me of how octopuses are said to be engaging in submarine warfare like..#there’s some geopolitical shit going on in the water and we don’t even know !!!#the anti-sharks orca party has successfully made their area unsafe for sharks for the first time in known sharkstory !#crazy shit !!#aquatic life

Damascus was a bad man at the vet and was very bitey so he got put in the lizard straight jacket for his x-rays.

How to Towel your Dragon

Filing this one along with the best method for weighing tiny birds, in terms of the sheer undignity of it all:

*tiny muffled bird voice*  “How dare you!”

are. are keyboard smashes a thing. on tumblr.

Favorite genre of post

This is the funniest thing I’ve seen about the whole Musk Twitter Event because imagine being so bad that John Green, the man who was famously run off Tumblr by literal maniacs editing his post to a serenade to cocks in the Green Cock Incident, considers Twitter to be The Worst Site, ie worse than Tumblr. Insane

you know what’s weird? a few of the notes i get on this drawing are people being negative and saying they would never want to look like this

but the OVERWHELMING MAJORITY of people reblogging this are overwhelmingly positive. they are excited to see a beautiful visual representation of their own body type, romanticized and loved as all body types should be. so fuck everyone putting negative notes on this. 

these bellies are beautiful.

These look like me!!!!!

this is me! and i’m like ?? this is okay!! very pretty!

omggggggg, thank you for this honestly aw

keeping the commentary bc important

Posting again-weirdness is the best part of us

Only good reason for TikTok.
