#Ive never seen a crawfish that wasnt scared of me but he wanted to attack everyone and everything

i love lizards so much theyre literally just little beasts that scamper around and live their little lives. How can anyone not be completely transfixed by this

#when i went on vacation to mexico with my dads side of the family #the rental house had 2 iguanas that lived together under the steps outside #a male and a female #they were skittish but could be tempted out with food #another iguana lived a few meters away inside a hollow log #those were their houses they lived in them and returned to them every night and whenever they got scared #but the guy who lived in the log was very brave and wanted to be fed food by humans #when we sat in the grass the first time he came out of the bushes and ran right up to us #we gave them fruit #but the males were territorial to each other and if stair boy ever saw log boy he would chase him away #stair boys wife never gave a damn she was just there. and they lived in the same little hole together? #they were buddies they lived together? #with the hermit crabs? they live in a tiny house on the beach with hermit crabs and have drama with their neighbors. #where are they now. are they still alive. do they still live there #can you believe this shit #can you even comprehend the amount of uniqueness and individuality that can be found in every living creature #can you even believe the fact that there are stories and drama and history to everything that breathes on this earth #once i met a crawfish who was covered in scars and was the most savage little beast Ive ever seen #Ive never seen a crawfish that wasnt scared of me but he wanted to attack everyone and everything #and you could tell he'd lived his entire life doing that #where did he get each scar. why #he was one of a kind and he lived in a random little stream in illinois #once there was a flightless goose in a neighborhood pond who had a broken wing #that winter flocks of geese came and went as they flew south but he remained with his broken wing #but one flock left someone behind. and a goose stayed with him #and for the rest of the years i lived there those two lived together in that pond #staying there year round because he couldnt fly away to migrate south #theyve probably lived their entire lives by now #were they happy. why did the one that could fly give up that life in order to live with a flightless mate #thats insane. this is insane. go outside and find a cool bug to look at NOW
