hii sorry hehe i would ask this through your ask page but my stupid internet provider doesnt allow me open any ask pages. but i just want to know.. what exactly is an owl griffin? :D it looks adorableee!
A large, quadrupedal quasi-avian that loves eggs, large insects and ear tugging.
This is like one of the most original type of griffon.
My RocketHub research fundraiser is winding down and ends on May 5th, so I’m unveiling a TUMBLR SPECIAL for all of you who showed interest in my project but are on a tight budget (which, as a master’s student, I totally understand…)
For those of you who didn’t run across my last post, I am researching the effects of stress on the development of birds (specifically American kestrels) and need money for my analysis kits. And since RocketHub is a crowd-sourcing site, you receive unique gifts in exchange for donations.
So what is the TUMBLR SPECIAL and why do I keep typing it in all caps? Well, the TUMBLR SPECIAL is a limited offer (limited because my fundraiser ends in 17 days) where donating just $10 lets you ADOPT A BABY KESTREL! Like the ones in the pictures up above!
Adopting a baby kestrel means that in a few weeks, when the kestrels hatch and grow up, I will send you pictures, video, and stats on your baby bird, as well as its band number so you can check on its progress in the future. And you get to name it! Awesome!
So if you are interested in birds, science, conservation, or cute baby animals, check out my project here:
This is a tardigrade, also known as a”water bear” or “moss piglet.” It is probably the coolest fucking microscopic life form that you’ve never heard of. Besides looking like miniature, animatronic gummy bears, tardigrades can live at temperatures close to absolute zero. Before you Google what absolute zero is, it’s -459.67 degrees Fahrenheit ( −273.15° on the Celsius scale ). That’s pretty fucking cold. Anyways, tardigrades are tiny little living things that eat shit inside of mosses and whatnot. They can survive in any environment (including outer space), are able to go without water for up to 10 years, and are like a million bajillion years old (they originated in the Cretaceous period for you kids that understand whatever that means).
I LOVE WATER BEARS! I found one in the WCC lake. They’re like see through and they gots wittle toes and they’re so micro you just wanna cuddle the shit out of it.
Does any one else notice that they can survive space and have been around for millions of years and the first several letters of their name are T A R D I…. Or is it just me seeing instances of Dr. Who everywhere?
For the record, I knew of their existence prior to this post.

I knew about them too. Does Animal Planet still show The Most Extreme? I loved that show. It taught me that water bears exist and that for any animal you can think of, there is at least one horror movie about said animal. (Though I don’t actually remember what horror movie clip they showed to introduce the water bear segment.)
