Kentucky tennessee and alabama have the most diverse freshwater animals in the entire world

Some of them are so pretty! Just look at these fishes

Speckled Darter, Golden Topminnow, Emerald Darter

The tiny fishes that live in clean, clear streams are so gorgeous. They're like tropical reef fish. I'm sad now about all the streams I've seen with barely a thing alive in them.

Splendid Darter, Rainbow Darter, Barred Darter

do you think dogs see wolves and get attracted the same way a short gay sees a guy over 6'4

would a cat fall in love with a tiger? a horse with a donkey? a chicken with a t-rex?

Actually, yes! Dogs mate with wolves in the wild constantly (well, obviously if there are dogs exposed to wolf packs) and horses and donkeys mate naturally as well, (there’s more than one way to make a mule!)

This honestly makes a lot of sense when you consider how surprisingly common inter-species attraction is. Most famously, cranes really wanna boink humans. (It actually seems best recorded among birds for some reason?) So considering avians can feel attraction towards humans, it’s not that unbelievable that sister-species might want to get it on. It’s hard to say that this sexual attraction is love exactly, but I think the undercurrent of this discussion is really interesting.

Also, consider this! Most stories we get of inter-species pining is some animal going after a human, but you should factor in a recording bias! Of course humans are most likely to notice this behavior if it’s happening at us. Especially when it may be hard for the same drive to be felt when you see a species as either predator or prey. It might be that these kinds of things only really happen in captivity, when they begin to learn that is humans are not active threats. Or when they are close in species, and are not immediately assessing each other for hunting or fleeing.

not see so much stuff about people who really struggle or can not use AAC . so guess will say something , not to talk on behalf necessarily but just remind people .

some people can barely , or can not at all , use AAC . sometimes lack accessibility in program . sometimes though , even perfect accessibility not help .

that do not mean people is not try hard enough to help , or that " not allow " person have words . sometimes … people just can not communicate far in words , no matter how try . and this important remember too .

AAC programs still need memory , motor control , some ability plan , some ability understand how language work . not all people , even ones need AAC , have enough these things .

i like the genre of animal photos where you can tell they just dipped their face into a carcass and they dont even care (artistic interpretation)
