Magpies dicking about
Liked for the funny video but the caption, a. is bollocks, brain-body mass ratio is negatively correlated with size so loads of small animals have a higher ratio than humans, and b. confuses Eurasian magpies (what the incorrect brain-body mass ratio quote is referring to) with Australian magpies (the ones in the video), which are not closely related
(Yes I’m being pedantic but this guy’s bio claims he’s trying to “build the big picture of #science” but he can’t be arsed to check whether the caption he’s plagiarised is correct or even referring to the species in the video)
Zomg some great animals in the other thread
i was not aware porcupines could talk
Never mind not real
Capybaras have the innate ability to make any animal be chill as fuck around them. They must have evolved it early on because I don’t see any other way what amount to giant plump hamsters that don’t like moving could have otherwise survived to this epoch.
Amazing. So much going on in the wing mirror too
