reptilefacts:

Green Tree Python (Morelia virdis) aberrant white colouration.

I encourage everyone to read the source thread from beginning to end about this animal. It’s the fifth(?) white canary we know about, and Project Grey Sunday is still an ongoing work in progress. Can’t exactly be a ‘designer morph’ if we can’t reproduce it in captivity at all yet.

The Sarcastic Fringehead (yes, that is its real name) has some rather special mouthparts.

This gorgeous dude is alive, he’s just chilling since I turned him upside down for a minute.

This is a male Eastern Fence Lizard. Their backs are a very drab grey and brown camo-type pattern but the scales on their throats and bellies have this stunning blue coloration. Beautiful lizards!

when people say they love the deep sea i’m always like ” are you sure” because of these:

you know what that last one is?

that’s a fucking turtle

if a turtle can fuck your shit up anything can

The sea turtle’s mouth is like that to catch sea jellies. It doesn’t eat them or swallow them. It actually banishes them into a nightmare dimension.

arsanatomica:

The skull of a Bengal tiger rests along side the skull of a domestic cat.

Notice the proportionally smaller braincase and eyes in the tiger, and the much larger flanges for muscle attachment, in comparison to the overall size of the skull.

As animals scale up in size, more muscle is needed to bear the additional weight and counteract the effects of gravity. To anchor the increased mass of the muscle, bones become more robust. Thicker, heavier, with larger flanges, and deeper hollows to provide the additional muscle with leverage.

It’s a cyclic system. More muscle is needed to support heavier bone which in turn supports more muscle…etc.

You’d think it could go on forever, but as animals become larger and more powerful, they also become heavier. For land predators, the cycle reaches a cutoff size when the increasing weight begins to negatively affect agility, maneuverability, and the ability to successfully catch prey.
