HAVE A CAT

Feline Erythropoietic Porphyria is a rare genetic disorder that causes cats to have naturally red teeth, bones and urine that glow under ultraviolet light.

It’s the result of a genetic mutation that makes it difficult for the body to produce Heme, the iron component of blood that helps red blood cells transport oxygen.

The red blood cells produced by the body are extra fragile and break down easily. As a result, the waste products accumulate in the teeth and bones causing their distinctive color.

It looks awesome but not without some crappy drawbacks. The disorder causes cats to be extremely sun sensitive and they can suffer severe burns with even small amounts of sun exposure. Also they get really anemic.

Porphyria is often called the Vampire disease…..for OBVIOUS REASONS.

it’s not curable, but cats with the condition can live relatively normal lives if kept out of sun.

It’s not limited to cats either…. People, along with many other animals like pigs and cows can also be born with it. Other places to see my stuff: INSTAGRAM / FACEBOOK / ETSY

I just love this stuff so much….. We have short-faced dogs and cats, like pugs and persians, and I’ve always wondered if short-faced bird breeds exist…. They do…. THEY DO!!!!

FISH 🐟🐠🐟🐠🐟🐠

These are fins from a 500lb Bluefin Tuna. 

Tuna are members of the Scrombrid family, a group of fast swimming, partially warm-blooded apex predators, with highly streamlined bodies and retractable fins. 

In the image above, the large dorsal fin, with its rigid bony rays, can disappear completely into a deep groove on the body.This gives the fish its distinctive bullet shape, as it charges forward in the water. The fin is pulled out when the fish is slowing down, or turning to keep its cylindrical body from rolling over.

The distinctive little fins, or finlets in the last image are only found in this group of fish. Muscles beneath the skin allows them to move independently. There’s a few people out there researching this, but at the current time their exact function is unknown.
