Happy Caturday to all. Have you ever seen a jaguarundi (Herpailurus yagouaroundi)? A highly adaptable species, this low-slung feline inhabits a wide range of environments from southern North America through Central and South America. It’s also known as the “otter cat” for its uncanny resemblance to the animal. The jaguarundi is very vocal: This cat has up to 13 distinct calls ranging from purring to whistling and chattering. It dines on a variety of prey including small mammals like armadillos, reptiles, birds, and even fish.

Painted Tree Rat Callistomys pictus

A rodent from the state of Bahia, Brazil. The painted tree-rat is found in the Atlantic forest. It also occurs in cocoa plantations where some native trees remain. As far as known, it is nocturnal.

Endangered

Unlike Earth, where sunsets are red and orange due to the scattering of shorter blue wavelengths by our atmosphere, Mars has an extremely fine dust that scatters blue light more efficiently near the Sun.

So during sunset on Mars, the sky turns reddish-brown while the area around the Sun glows a soft blue. It’s the opposite of what we experience on Earth.

NASA’s rovers have captured this eerie sight

In theory this will turn into a full comic but I got...distracted lmao
