In honor of vulture awareness day, let me ask you a question.

Do you love vultures?

You should.

Here’s why:

1, They are simultaneously the most majestic, and the most f*cking derpy of birbs. Observe -

2. THEY’RE SO FUCKING BADASS. We all know that they eat dead things. Eww, right? Wrong. They’re capable of digesting fucking rabies, cholera, hundreds of strains of bacteria that would straight up kill your ass given the chance. They deserve ALL of the respect, but they don’t get any, because ‘eww they eat dead things’. 

3. THEY ARE FUCKING AMAZING AT WHAT THEY DO - Some of the highest flying birds ever recorded, with amazing eyesight and smell. Vultures are highly specialised - yes, that means they sometimes have bald heads. So what? People are all over sphinx cats and those semi-hairless dogs.

4. If you think they’re ugly, well, look at these precious babs and tell me you still don’t feel anything:

I have more reasons, but, look, I’ll just get straight to the point: 

THEY’RE GOING EXTINCT, AND MORE PEOPLE NEED TO KNOW.

Populations of some vultures have fallen more than 90% in the last 20 years, and that’s scary as fuck. Reasons for this range from livestock carcasses being contaminated with certain drugs, to poachers killing them off because vultures give them away. But whatever the reasons, they’re dying off fast, and we need to act before it’s too late. We need to help protect them and conserve them as much if not more than some of the ‘cuter’ endangered creatures. 

So what can you do? Here are some useful links if you want to learn more:

They really are amazing birds ~ thank you for sticking with my long-ass post 

:P 

darwin’s journey to coming up with his theory of evolution was growing up in an elite intellectual family, going to top schools where he was friends with britain’s best scientific minds, and getting a government-funded opportunity to travel the world through the old boys’ club of cambridge naturalists and geologists

meanwhile, alfred russell wallace came to the same conclusion by being a young broke dude who never got beyond primary school, haphazardly wandering around the amazon rainforest with his friend hoping to sell his specimens later to pay for the trip, and going through southeast asia on a tiny outrigger canoe even though he couldn’t swim, not caring about setbacks like getting malaria, losing all of his specimens, and being left for dead on a life-boat for a week

and then when they found out that both of them had figured out the same thing, darwin was basically like “oh no, i cant believe ive been scooped” and alfred russell wallace was like “woooooo the great charles darwin had the same idea as me, a nobody hobbyist goofing off in indonesia! look mum he made me second author!!!”

in short alfred russell wallace was the best. chaotic as all hell but also such a cinnamon roll

they’re talking to each other omg (‘:
