Behold The Pocket-sized Western Pygmy Possum! (Cercartetus Concinnus). One Of The World’s Smallest

Reblog to give a trans woman a delicious Cuban sandwich

fun mole facts to pique your interest

can smell in stereo (nostrils smell separately)

solitary (except for star nosed moles)

male are called boars and females sows (like pigs) but babies are called pups

a group of them is called a labour

have poison in their saliva that can paralyse worms and insects

will store food in 'larders' so they can snack later

more oxygen in their blood (helps breathing underground)

not rodents

are good for soil health (their tunnelling aerates and fertilised soil), don't be mean to them :(

Babby's 2st post :) modern tech is infuriating, and it was either this or I write a manifesto.

genuinely one of the worst things that’s happened to television in the last few years (exacerbated by streaming services) is death of Filler. going from 20 episodes to 8 because “we didn’t really need that episode where the main characters went to the beach right? it had no long lasting effect” but we DID!!! we needed to see how they act without the Big Bad Plot and to establish the dynamics between the characters and lay in the sun (do they forget sunscreen? how do they react to a thieving seagull? do they get buried in the sand or do they do the burying?). the plot isn’t everything. the action doesn’t hit as hard without the quiet moments. give us character development and our little scenes back

🤫 Shh…wanna hear a secret? The secret toadhead agama (Phrynocephalus mystaceus) has one. Growing about 9 in (24 cm) long, this wide-ranging species inhabits deserts in parts of Asia. When confronted by predators, like birds of prey, it can open its mouth to deploy brightly colored cheek flaps—shocking foes with a sudden change of appearance! If that doesn’t work, this reptile can also rapidly bury itself in the sand, disappearing from view.
