Dude with a serious villain face looking at roles at 65 going ‘ok which one of these would be good for me and which ones would make the kids go “oh fucking AWESOME”’ *sweeps all the dramatics on the floor and goes to play with a giant cyborg*

Downy woodpecker (Picoides pubsecens) anatomy
Drawn for my colleagues. On the left, the axial skeleton + pectoral girdle (without any limbs) and the longis colli: the primary muscle responsible for woodpecker drumming. As you might expect, it’s much larger in woodpeckers than other birds.
On the right: all of the above, plus the ol’ pectoralis major, responsible for the downstroke/powerstroke in bird flight.
I will eventually shade the rest of the skeleton.
I absolutely adore this scientific illustration. So many people only focus on woodpeckers’ tongues (which wrap around their head as a cushion from the banging) but never see the muscles that actually facilitate the motion!
good stuff
i think about this bit a lot
