Some species of frugivorous bats have faces that look so much like that of a horse that I'm surprised no one in the spec-evo community has tried to create "realistic pegasi" using them as a base

Bracket Winner: The Faves

Oilbird (Steatornis caripensis)

"They are the only nocturnal, flying, fruit-eating bird in the world." (The kakapo, also nocturnal, is flightless) - Wikipedia

eBird sightings: 3,559; IUCN Redlist Rating: Least Concern

Beaten: Blakiston's Fish Owl, African Penguin, Bonin Petrel, Pygmy Nuthatch, Rook

Also known locally as the guácharo, these birds are the only extant member of their family and order. Fossils of other oilbirds have been found, but this species is the only one that has survived until the present era. They've got excellent eyesight and use it to find fruit, but oilbirds also use echolocation to help navigate. As they've been found to roost and nest in caves, this is likely the most important place for their echolocation.

These birds got their name from the fact the chicks are so heavy with fat that they made good lanterns. Most flying birds are heaviest before leaving the nest, but oilbird chicks weigh up to 21 oz, which is substantially heavier their adult weight of 12-17 oz.

Venezuela's first national monument is The Guacharo Cave, sitting as a centerpiece of its national park. According to some estimates there may be 15,000 or more birds living there.

Bracket Winner: Pretty Birds

Purple Honeycreeper (Cyanerpes caeruleus)

Cyanerpes, from the Ancient Greek 'kuanos' meaning "dark-blue" and 'herpes' meaning "creeper"; caeruleus meaning "dark blue" in Latin-- so basically this is a "dark-blue creeper who is dark-blue"

eBird sightings: 29,552; IUCN Redlist Rating: Least Concern

Beaten: Pink Robin, Bluethroat, Bohemian Waxwing, Violet Turaco, Long-tailed Minivet

This species forages in small groups, often feeding on nectar, fruits, and occasionally on insects and seeds. The curve of their bill is adapted for feeding on bromeliad flowers and their nectar.

This species is very inquisitive and will respond to predatory calls by coming out of their cover and searching for the predator so they can mob it. Mobbing is when a smaller animal attempts to "beat up" and bully a predatory animal into leaving the area. Its often annoying enough to work.

Lived through my emergency mouth surgery!

Lightly terrorized the medical staff by cheerfully telling them ketamine is a drug you can literally physically outrun before surgery, then getting up and walking to the front room unassisted way before I should have afterwards.

#i got that toxin-resistant frugivore liver #and what a doctor described as 'mediy ideal kidneys' #i would have done numbers in the stone age

1. seeing my bf under new lighting or in a new setting for the first time and feeling the entire world around me stop while i admire him like the fine piece of artwork that he is, and

2. fruit. all kinds of fruit. ilysm.
