Uncharismatic Fact of the Day
Humans aren't the only animals that organize themselves into towns or, in some cases, entire cities! The largest black-tailed prairie dog colony on record, located in Texas, USA, was 6,474,970 hectares (25000 mi²) and contained an estimated 400 million animals. The largest human city in Texas is Houston; it's only 665 mi² and contains just over 2.2 million people.

If you send me proof that you’ve made a donation to UNRWA or another organization benefiting Palestinians– including esim donations– I’ll make art of any animal of your choosing.

An Hokkaido Squirrel, Sciurus vulgaris orientis, on the campus of Hokkaido University. It runs across a snowy busy street in the blink of an eye and climbs a tree across the street.
北大構内のエゾリス(キタリス北海道亜種)。 雪の降り積もった人通りの多い道路を瞬く間に走って横断し、向かい側の木を登っていく。
