Xystocheir dissecta, a species of flat-backed millipede found only in California. They’re fairly common in forest litter around the Bay Area and show up very well with a black light at night. Like many flat-backed millipedes, they produce hydrogen cyanide as a chemical defense against predators.

Here’s the same individual in white light:

Ok but do you know about the UC Berkeley Hyenas because those were like a cryptid to me as a child. Haunting. I think we should bring them back but as a cryptid. Not as the real live animals because what the fuck was that about, actually.

I am so southbay-pilled that despite some of my best friends going to Cal and one of them getting a BA in Psychology during that man's tenure I had never heard of the UC Berkeley Hyenas until this message what the actual fuck. Incredible. Is Berkeley never not up to something absolutely insane.

These are ABSOLUTELY the cryptids we need to terrorize the bay area. Imagine you're walking home alone at night and you hear a hyena laughing. I'd shit myself. Can we let them loose on the Financial District during lunch hour.

#i was telling myself a little story earlier tonight about the salesforce cryptid i made up however this MUCH more fucked up #beryl and i had a whole riff on brayden point and florida wildlife ghosts a while back #and i had that short fic five hundred years ago about thomas bordeleau seeing california wildlife ghosts #but this is even better. and we gotta go bigger. all the wild animals the bay area should not be keeping captive roaming free #what if i was walking of out the giants ballpark and the golden gate park buffaloes were ambling down the street #what if the berkeley hyenas were running down the bay bridge #the ghosts of the palo alto jmz bobcats biting people #oh i just googled the buffaloes apparently one of the males tried to maul a police man. king #cage replies #anon

Dragonspiral for sure, the one cliff for Keldeo maybe, absolutely the Giant Chasm or whatever for Kyurem, maybe the shrine for Landorus

Because Sinnoh is (ig) the first region and the divine first footstep of creation for the world, the whole region stinks of spiritual energy. Alola might be the same tbh.

i never fuckin did the keldeo event so idk what the cliff is but yeah this all makes sense. I wonder how much of any other given region would do it

#kanto: probably the cinnabar mansion and Thats It #Johto: most of northern johto would do it and maybe mt silver? idk #ilex forest for sure tho #hoenn: hm. sky pillar and sootopolis but idk where else. maybe the Event Islands #sinnoh: see above #unova: also see above #kalos: lmao i dont remember shit about kalos. geosenge would probably do the trick tho #alola: yeah the whole thing is probably Haunted As Shit/very Holy Land #galar: i bet theres hzoroark in the slumbering weald #probably the isle of armor and crown tundra too #paldea: uuuuuuuh i havent played enough of gen 9 to say. oops. in area zero maybe?? #anyway uh. the reason i asked to begin with was for Dumb Octopath Headcanons #and bc Orsterra is the land where Aelfric and co walked the earth id say that counts. fuck it #therion got shoved off that cliff with his zorua and on landing the zorua died BUT also evolved #filled with hatred for all humans besides therion and ESPECIALLY for darius #i bet that zoroark saved therions life. at least kept the wildlife at bay with its illusions. maybe brought him berries and water

Council promoting dog leashing in high conservation areas

As part of the program, Council has increased its enforcement patrols in partnership with Tweed Byron Police, with 122 fines issued last year as part of the program.

After a successful pilot trial, Tweed Shire Council is extending its Take the Lead program which aims to reduce the number of dogs off-leash in high conservation value areas and other public places in the Tweed. The program, first launched in October last year, has to date focused on high conservation value areas at: Casuarina/Kingscliff Fingal Head Hastings Point Pottsville, and Wooyung…

Photos -- Western North Dakota Enjoys this Kind of Summertime Green

Saturday Snapshot Summertime Green It seems like every time rain enters North Dakota this summer, the central Badlands get a dose — and that includes Dunn County. The Killdeer area is enjoying summertime green even now into the end of July as we shot these.  We’ve been capturing summer life in Dunn County, this year: the lake, the state park, the small town celebrations and the rodeo.  It’s the…
