Okay this one I've got no fuckin clue

Uhhh hey @mammalidentifier Long time no see, got any clue what this is ?

Hi! This is our good old friend, the rock hyrax (Procavia capensis)! You might know them from that one TikTok of the three little animals climbing all over a person to get a sip of their tea. Those are the exact same species of hyrax as this guy here! Except for the fact the ones in that video are babies and this one’s a grown adult.

Here’s a fun fact about hyraxes: their closest living relatives are dugongs, manatees and elephants! Yes, it’s kind of hard to see it at first, but if you look more closely, you’ll realize they definitely share some family resemblance when it comes to the very unique trait of having incisors for tusks. In all other mammals with tusks, they’re their canine teeth instead!

Sadly, only dugongs still have their little tusks. Manatees lost theirs during their evolutionary process. As adorable as they are, they weren’t particularly necessary for grazing underwater.

Manatees kept another vestigial trait from back when they were land mammals that dugongs have lost, though: toenails! And as it turns out, toenails are another thing they have in common with their elephant and hyrax cousins:

Both elephants and hyraxes have one extra toenail in their front feet compared to their back feet. Manatees do not because sirenians don’t have hind limbs at all, just vestigial pelvic bones. No need for them when you have a paddle for a tail!

Wings anyone?

this headline is so fucking horrible why is it whenever indigenous people are murdered everyone avoids saying they were murdered

it’s so important to show solidarity with indigenous people right now and remember that this was a hate crime. rising hearts is an indigenous run organization and they’re asking everyone who can to braid their hair on monday regardless of if you’re native american or not

We've all been down here too long. I truly think there's a chunk of tumblr's population that can no longer survive sunlight.

women will say “hear me out” and show u a photo of pyramid head and then tumblr users will go “this is a perfectly normal man and an ice cold take”

this would have got 100k notes as a tumblr post in 2018

commission for @crazy-fruit, her lovely character Juvia! thank you for commissioning me 💜

A personal artwork I'm working on + my fave details!

I have a character who's a nature/forest-y paladin and I always imagined the nature god she follows would be this type of unrealistic dream-like creature melding with the surroundings. I also imagined it would look mostly symmetrical but with some differences here in there, like you often see in nature.
