When you realize the value of all life, you dwell less on what is past and concentrate more on the preservation of the future.

Anglerfish: "Til death do us part" is a bit too casual for us. We prefer "til we literally become one."

I’m doing my summer literature review on pneumonia in dolphins and I no longer understand how they survive with lungs like that.

I know the world loves Steve Irwin (for good reason) but someone needs to study the lasting effect that Steve Backshall has had on people growing up in the UK

I'm literally finishing off the book Deep Blue by Steve Backshall before I go back to working at a zoo tomorrow as part of the 3rd year of my zoology degree all because I was introduced to Deadly 60 as a 6 year old

#when i tell you this man influenced my life #i mean it #little me looked at deadly 60 and thought 'that's what i'm doing for the rest of my life!'#MY ENTIRE COURSE IS COMPRISED OF PEOPLE WHO GREW UP ON STEVE BACKSHALL'S WORK!#the pure joy that went across a room of 20 year old zoology students when my lecturer put on a clip from that show...#anyway steve backshall deserves the same love as steve irwin #and i stand by that #steve backshall #deadly 60 #steph rambles

It’s a bit late but I couldn’t be happier with these results!!!!

But despite the happiness, At the beginning of the year I was adamant that I was only just going to make it to the next year. And I’m not surprised. I had so many barriers in my way. I had to travel 2 -3 hours to and from university, work, spend time with family and I too if that complete my assignments.

I also had (well, still do to some extent) a MAJOR feeling of inferiority which wasn’t helped by the fact that I didn’t have any classmates to talk with or hangout with outside of class. Seeing posts of people who are receiving 1st class grades (80 marks and above) while I’m receiving 3rd class (40-49 marks) was incredibly disheartening and hopefully next year, when I’ll be living in the city, that will change.

But anyways ,during the second semester I was able to get my grades up!! These grades are a result of supportive tutors, a weekly bus ticket that enabled me to go to the library whenever my impulsive ADHD brain would let me study and the kind staff at my local library that delayed shutting some days whilst I was there (which I only just found out feel bad about because they have lives of there own to go back to and, looking back I feel like a burden 👍)

Onwards and upwards tho to the first official year of ZOOLOGY!!!!!!

There's a Robin I keep seeing at lunch cause I think he's building a nest in a tree near where I eat. He's such a goofy little guy. Do you know any facts about Robins? Thanks you!

Alright, alright may as well finally answer this one after like a month. Although you never reminded me like I asked lmao.

The American Robin belongs to the thrush family, which also includes bluebirds and solitaires.

Robins have a sweet tooth! They absolutely love sweet fruits and berries along with earthworms. They have been known not only to eat raspberries from raspberry bushes, but also to show their offspring how to get the berries from the bush! Sadly, pesticides people put on their lawns can poison robins as they forage, so no pesticides!! Please!!!

Robins like to party and get a little tipsy! They have been seen flocking around fermented berries and if they ingest a large amount exhibit some drunken behaviors.

Hope these were worth the wait! Have a good one!

Mandalorian zoology student hearing “dormant species have been awakened by the bombings” and makes it their mission to study every single one. The survivor Mandalorians have a wealth of knowledge on the subject. The student excitedly reports their findings to the co rulers every month. Bo-Katan listens to them excitedly ramble about the tiny dragons that live in the sewers and decides never to mention the mythosaur to them

#star wars #the mandalorian #zoology student is me lol

Hey, guys! Been a while.

I've been really struggling. I'm not going back to university after my winter break is over because my mental health is too bad to continue with this academic year (I am not dropping out, I am taking time out and coming back when I'm ready.)

I'm looking into different degrees in case September arrives, and I realise that I don't want to continue with herpetology or a different zoology degree at my current university after all.

I feel a bit lost at sea. I don't know what I'm doing; I don't know what I want; I don't know what my plans are. It's a difficult situation. I need to stop and rest and recover from everything that has happened over the past few months, but I can't just stand still; there are still decisions to be made and things to be done.

I just want to be a success. And I will be a success. I am determined

Marsupials (overview)

Hello, desktop Tumblr it is time to talk about mammals again >:)

I can feel my roommate watching me over my shoulder...

also wow using grammerly on desktop is really annoying! but I can use titles???? woo!

I think I regret choosing desktop for this.... oh well! lets get into it

Ok so we left off talking about monotremes and I will have a post about their bones at some point I pinky swear I just need to figure out what I want to talk about. ok anyways today let's see what should we talk about hmm.... drumroll please.....

Metatheria!

So metatheria are the marsupials of the animal kingdom you've heard of a lot of them and I'm sure you know their calling card- pouches. but we are getting INTO it tonight guys heheheh

ok so some Latin facts- we know that protheria (monotremes) means 'first beast' but metatheria means "in-between beasts"

the first/oldest protheria we know about is the sinodelphys they are found mostly in Australia and South America due to a lack of placental mammals during the whole continental drift business.

ok so what makes a marsupial a marsupial? well let's get into a few relatively universal traits amongst them (remember folks nature doesn't read biology books so some of these are special or gone in certain groups)

so bones (BONES!!!!)

so the pelvic and jaw bones in a metathere are different than in eutheres (we will talk about them next teehee) they do not have a rounded angular process and it's instead spiky (here's a picture of a possum jaw for reference)

There are also extra openings in the back of the pallet and a smaller brain case their teeth are funky too! They have an extra set of incisors.

so I mentioned their funky pelvic bones but what I mean by that is their reproduction is wacko. so like monotremes they have a cloaca and not a vaginal and anal opening. this is why they're "in-between beasts" they have traits that are similar to both ends of the spectrum.

speaking of reproduction their cloaca is subdivided and they will hold eggs internally with a specialized membrane. this membrane surrounds the fetus more than an egg would with a floating placenta surrounding the fetus unlike in us this placenta isn't attached to a uterine horn. Their reproductive structure is also loopy... I'm not kidding look at this shit- this is a kangaroo reproductive structure

WEIRD! They have a pseudovaginal canal which is only there for birth and is part of the cloaca also keep an eye on that second uterus ill get into that more with kangaroos specifically

and it's only in females male reproductive structure is normal

their young are always born underdeveloped. they have an extended lactation period because of this with that special changing milk we mammals have that will deliver the perfect amount of nutrients needed.

so the babies are born super early but those ungrateful little turds have the immediate responsibility to get THEMSELVES into their mother's pouch. Mamma can't help you do everything little Joey.

I need to expand on this because it's fucking INSANE ok so like I said they are underdeveloped and I mean like VERY underdeveloped as in they do not have a full heart or brain yet!!!!! their lungs are just sacks and they don't have a jaw but they DO have a tongue and arms that they use to pull along their mother's hair to get to the milk. again- mama ain't helping you.

Ok i'm ending this here only because this is just general overview stuff and then I'm gonna get into specific species and families next staring with kangaroos :)
