    The tarantula hawk wasp is very much nightmare fuel (for spiders). They're basically xenomorphs.

    And the Hunstman spider is the bane of all wasps, or anything else it fancies. They're extremely active hunters, I had one run up me one day and launch itself from my shoulder to catch a wasp that was hovering near me.

    Did you tell it "thank you" for making sure you didn't get stung?

    We love our Huntsmans here, but even when you've grown up with them one running across your face in the middle of the night isn't pleasant. Our wasps won't attack humans unless you're trying to hurt them, but they do fill up tiny holes with mud. Key holes, power socket holes, etc. They're very inconvenient insects.

    I can't believe the cute, little kiwi bird is related to the massive elephant bird.

    Well they are both birds, so it makes sense they share a relation.
    Besides, life on Earth has shown us plenty of examples of animals growing or shrinking into new forms as they adapt over millions of years to a changing world.

    Well, I had to pick up my mom after her car broke down, so...pretty eventful day. Also, squirrels are cute.

    We call squirrels "tree bunnies" at my house because if we say the "s" word out loud, the dogs start body slamming against the windows.

    They haven't caught on to the subterfuge yet.

    @TBRS1 Don't introduce me to your dogs by my username!😳😥

    Foxes, rabbits, wolves, and bears are crepuscular (active in the dusk). I wonder why they evolved that way.

    Many of Australia's animals are the same, dawn and dusk are the worst times to drive on country roads because that's when all the animals are on the move looking for fresh grazing. But we also have eagles big enough to attack and kill kangaroos.

    Bananas look very disgusting in the past compared to today (definitely couldn't make banana pudding/pie with those).

    How far in the past?
    A hundred years? Or what?

    ??! Australia has several species of native banana including the Lady Finger and the Sugar Banana. They're smaller than those GM Chequita things, sweeter, stronger in flavour and don't have that horrible chalky texture from being force grown. I'll take them instead of what supermarkets have to offer any time.

    Natural foods don't look that disgusting. They're food.

    Fruits and vegetables look really different from today (purple carrots?). Interesting.

    I love turtles, but the stupendemys might be bit too big for my terrarium.

    They are pretty low-maintenance, now. You can probably get by without a terrarium... 🤔

    The fact that the quetzalcoatlus used to be flying around in North America makes me rethink how evolution works in the place.

    I had to look that up to find out what it was . :) I like the theory of how they walked when on the ground, it reminds me of watching fruit bats climb around in trees. When they're climbing they look more like monkeys than bats, using their hands the same way any four limbed creature would.

    Prehistoric kangaroos (Procoptodon goliah) were about two to three times bigger than regular kangaroos, but apparently were too big to hop.

    I wonder if they also did the "come at me, bruh" muscle flex thing?

    So, North America had lions, tigers, and bear (oh my). The Land Before Time definitely wasn't kid friendly.

    The Life and Times of Grizzly Adams (I saw an episode last night, for the first time I remember ever seeing this old show)
    is astonishingly benign. More gentle than a fairy tale. The one I saw, anyway.

    Well, this is embarrassing. One of my mates came back from the pub, and collapsed onto my bed. Guess I'll take the couch.

    Just finished my report. Nothing nicer than having your friend's cat (he's a tabby) on your lap and a mug of coffee to get the job done.

    Well, somebody brought a lab rat to the lab today, and it got free, and guess what I found in my bag (at least the girls think it's cute).

    I managed to make invisible fire with alcohol (and the people living with are very upset with me for doing so).

    Yeah, l think that the possibility of burning down the place you live in would make anybody upset. Do you have another place lined up to live in? You need to take responsibility for your actions, and not put others in danger. otherwise you are a threat to your own safety and those around you.

    Actually, they were more upset that all the alcohol was gone, not the fire. I was in my lab in another location. And I paid them back in full.
