they named the snake (genus? family?) Bitis... I love scientists

Yep, they named the genus Bitis. I love it.

Fun fact: Bitis snakes are also sometimes referred to as "puff adders," because of their tendency to puff up and hiss loudly when bothered. Along with Gaboon vipers, the genus also includes the common puff adder, Bitis arietans.

Ah yes, my favorite "fun" facts

#planet zoo #I love them describing a snake as 'greedy' bc there's like an inherent morality to that word #and I love the idea that snakes have morals and can be bad snakes #yeah the puff adder is just so greedy dude I don't think we should invite them to the potluck

Made an OC using my own generator hohohoho

#notes abt scale: #they were originally enrolled in glandus but they were kinda...too good at being strong... and maybe they killed some students........ #ANYWAYS. because of that they were made to transfer to hexside #since then theyve mellowed out and pursued being a makeup artist and illusion magic #theyre themed after a cockatrice! #also fun fact whenever they get mad (which is often) their hair puffs up and they make their wings big to be intimadating #feathers also poof out of them whenever they get shocked or suprised #OH ALSO. they are the captain of a flyer derby team #theyre based off of some spefific animals too i suppose #that being the peregrine falcon. the rattlesnake and the scorpion generally #i wanted to fit in adder inspiration but theyd look too complicated #my art #toh oc #the owl house oc #yknow techinally theyre also kinda harpy inspired but thats just because i love harpies #oc: calcitrix

<3 <3 obviously one of the highlights of my visit to the national aquarium the other day was the reptiles <3 <3 specifically the snakes, SPECIFICALLY the death adder omgggg.

there is something so??????????? magical???????????? about being able to put your face just inches away from something that, if it were to bite you, would definitely kill you.

like, to have a thin lil pane of glass be all that keeps a small but very deadly beast from being able to end my life????????????

amazing.

#obligatory Fun Facts about death adders that nobody asked for lmao #“adder” is a term most accurately describing vipers belonging to the genus “bitis” #puff adders like gaboon vipers or european common adders #but death adders aren't true adders! because they're not vipers! they're elapids! #and they're remarkable among elapids for having a VERY different body shape! #elapids include cobras and mambas and coral snakes #and have morphology that is very similar to most colubrids #which include king snakes and rat snakes and garter snakes #they tend to be very slender relative to their length #with heads that are roughly the same size as their necks #but death adders are shaped pretty much exactly like a bona fide viper #with a stout and heavy body #a narrow neck #and a bigass triangular head! #somebody who didn't know they were looking at a death adder would have no reason to assume it wasnt a viper #and idk its just so rad to me that Science People can figure out when things aren't as they seem! #like omg how hard did they have to look at it to figure out it wasn't a viper???? #i woulda just taken one look at that thing and said 'yep thats a viper' and called it a day #fuck i look like getting close enough to a Very Deadly Snake to determine that its not what it looks like????? #i swear if it was up to me there would be like no science being done on dangerous animals lmaoooo #i love them but dear god put that thing back where it came from or so help me

Wait a second. Pause. Look at the way her arms are around him. Look at where her face is in his chest, look at the way his back was arched. AYO?! ANACONDA AND PUFF ADDER?!?!?! ...good for them. Captain America #381

puff adder: I will end you. I am fearsome. Behold my venomous majesty and tremble, mammal.

Atticus: awww big chubby cheeks boye

In my defense if they did not want me to think they were adorable they shouldn't have those adorable wittle cheeks.

Literally every time I work with one I say some variation of "awww aren't you so mad? Aren't you so very angwy?"
