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

Went down a rabbit hole from that which led me to witness the following sentence fragment

Two interesting tidbits:
Rodents can't vomit.
This:
While doing field work in Kenya, Dr. Weinstein was horrified when a gang of monkeys broke into her lab and absconded with some of the team’s crested rat fecal samples. In the chase that ensued, some of the packets of poop ripped open, scattering scat all about.“The monkeys, I think, were equally disappointed,” Dr. Weinstein said. “That’s not what they were hoping was in there.”

all time intro para imo
For a rodent that resembles the love child of a skunk and a steel wool brush, the African crested rat carries itself with a surprising amount of swagger. The rats “very much have the personality of something that knows it’s poisonous,” says Sara Weinstein, a biologist at the University of Utah and the Smithsonian Conservation Biology Institute who studies them.
