Love my this #MyThis

I wanted to get a video of this ghost crab but every time I got close to their hole they scuttled back in, so I tried getting clever with it. I made a little sandcastle and shoved my phone into it, hit record, and walked away. Crab was VERY suspicious of this addition to their environment.

(Edit: I drew a bird because they are usually legal&safe to collect where I live. If you are in the USA, be mindful of the MBTA and bird flu.)

Taxidermy dollhouse by Brooke Weston

It is actually INSANE how disrespectful and uneducated people are on Taxidermy. This is a work of ART that requires years of skill and expirence to create. PLEASE remember that Taxidermy is almost always made from ethically collected specimens unless the animal was killed through unethical hunting methods. Dedicated your emotions of disgust towards hunters and poachers who kill just to kill, with no intention of obtaining anything or helping the ecosystem in return.
