a friend at work used to commute home on the interstate, and a flock of Canada geese took off from a pond near the road just as a semi truck was passing by one day. the air vacuum caught the last goose, ripped it from the air, and slammed it to the ground in front of his car. he reluctantly glanced at the front when he arrived home and the only evidence was a goose head-shaped impression on his license plate

After Bloodbath, The National Zoo’s Naked Mole-Rats Finally Choose Their Queen

Queens sexually repress all the other females in the colony, as well as the males they don’t want to mate with, preventing them from going through puberty.

The new colony transported to the National Zoo this summer was made up of 17 adult mole-rats. There are only 13 adults left. “Yeah, they’ve been fighting and killing each other,” Kearns says. “They have mole-rat wars to determine who’s going to be the queen or who’s going to breed with the queen. We’re hoping things will calm down a little bit now.”

parasites are the alltime nightmare fuel creatures

Yeah, pretty much the only creatures that give me the heeby-jeebies. I imagine that’s pretty baked into our brains though.

Among the more shocking observations was the spider-on-opossum interaction. Michael Grundler, a doctoral candidate at the University of Michigan and a co-author of the study, was alerted to the scene when he heard shuffling noises from a pile of leaves.

“We looked over and we saw a large tarantula on top of an opossum,” said Grundler in the press release. “The opossum had already been grasped by the tarantula and was still struggling weakly at that point, but after about 30 seconds it stopped kicking.”

The tarantula was described as being as big as a dinner plate, and the opossum about the size of a softball. It’s considered the first visual documentation of an opossum being preyed upon by a large mygalomorph spider, a group that includes tarantulas.

But while the image may have granted the marmot its 15 minutes of fame, the rodent did not survive its encounter with the fox, according to the BBC. The museum described the picture as “a powerful frame of both humor and horror” that “captures the drama and intensity of nature.”

came here to post that. i'm the marmot and the fox is my crippling self doubt.

this one is also beautifully sad and funny:

Orcas recorded killing and feeding on blue whales in brutal attacks

This research is the first to officially document these killings, including details about how orcas swim inside the mouth of the blue whale to eat its tongue just before it dies.

one day when the tonguing is done
we'll take our leave and go
