Jackal food is a parasitic plant native to Africa that siphons off nutrients from other plants' roots. Its flowers surface after heavy rainfall & emit a carrion-like stench to attract pollinators. Its fruit is similar to a potato & attracts animals like jackals.[📸: E. Black] pic.twitter.com/4wtqbhYG3Q— American Museum of Natural History (@AMNH) May 4, 2020

Thanks for the nightmare fuel. Another fun fact from that article that I wasn't aware of before is that slow lorises -- primates -- are also venomous.

When they reach the end of that tunnel, the insects may be able to tickle open the cloacal sphincter, the ring of muscle that drawstrings the frog’s rear end shut, expelling themselves in a flood of feces.

Lystrosaurus's weirdness is eclipsed only by its pathetic ugliness. Never will a child name it as their favorite saurus, ever.

this animal's kinda weird - why is it jumping into leaf piles? for what reason? it is weird to do things for no apparent reason

Does the animal think that there is potentially food or a mate inside of the leaf pile, with which it may fulfill its biological imperatives? I do not understand
