I was today years old when I learned that there are people who don’t know what a mole is or at the very least doesn’t know what they look like and apparently people who see them for the first time as an adult often think they look disgusting?

I always thought they were super adorable even though they’re aggressive little buggers who can’t stand to be around each other except one day a year for procreation. Even the starnosed moles just look like adorable little Lovecraft horrors to me ❤️

When you realize this man is the voice of Carlos from Welcome to Night Vale

Wait he is? That’s what he looks like? What is this video called

It’s a Ted talk by Dylan Marron “Empathy Is Not Endorsement” which is one that all of us may need to listen to, tbh

Below the poll is a series of animal images labeled A through J. A is the least close to the birds we have today; J is the closest. If you encountered these animals in the wild, which would you call birds? If you pick a higher up option, then that means you consider all the below ones birds as well - so if you pick A, then BCDEFGHIJ are all birds. If you pick J, only J is a bird.

PLEASE REBLOG THIS SO IT CAN LEAVE PALAEOBLR. I NEED PEOPLE WHO DON'T RECOGNIZE THESE ANIMALS ON SIGHT TO VOTE.

I apologize to all of y'all with vision impairments for whom this poll is inaccessible. Alas, this is an experiment, and I cannot name the taxa. Thank you.
