HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO THE MOST SPECIAL-EST PERFECT GIRL EVERR

Cooper's Hawk (Accipiter cooperii). Family Accipitridae, order Accipitriformes.

Floofy.

- Each wing is like a feather! Because they're so small, they don't need the sturdy flat wings that other insects have.

- They have asymmetrical mouthparts! They have mandibles more like beetles, but it's like they're trying to turn them into a beak like true bugs have by gradually making one side a little bigger.

- Some of them are eusocial like ants or bees, with a queen and everything. These eusocial thrips make plants grow little houses called "galls" for their families to live in!

- Like ants, eusocial thrips have soldiers and go to war with other eusocial thrips. The soldiers have big, beefy arms for crushing other thrips. At least, that's what we thought--but it turns out that those big, beefy arms secrete a medicine for healing their injured family members. More than soldiers, they're medics!

Hello my friend 👋

My name is Mohammed, I live in Gaza City and I am 19 years old. I have lived through the full horrors of war — hunger, displacement, fear, relentless bombings, destruction, and so many other painful experiences 🥹😭.I never created a donation link before, and I haven’t received any kind of help throughout this devastating war 🥲💔.

I was so happy when the ceasefire was announced, and I dreamed of starting a small shop to earn a living. But sadly, the war returned — even more violent and destructive than before 😭.Our area has now been declared a dangerous combat zone, and we lost our home — the only shelter we had 💔.

Worst of all, my father was seriously injured: he tragically lost one of his hands and an eye, and he is now completely unable to work or support our family 🥲😭.

Prices have skyrocketed, and we have no source of income. I’m launching this donation campaign now with a broken heart but a little hope 🥲.

Please, for the sake of humanity and for the sake of my family, consider making a donation to help us survive 🙏💔.

I just created the donation link, hoping that someone out there might lend a helping hand.

I think it might actually be...

Reeves’s Pheasant (Syrmaticus reevesii), male, family Phasianidae, order Galliformes, China

Tail feathers may measure up to  2.4 m (7.9 ft) long.

Hello my friends, I am in desperate need of your help. GoFundMe deleted my campaign after it stopped for over 5 months without any reason mentioned...

I lost around 35,000 of a total of48,000, and now they are going to refund the donations to the donors. That's why I am urgently asking for your help and donations through the new link...

We are going through very tough days and extremely bad situations. We are witnessing famine everywhere, so please, if you can donate or share, don’t stop 💔💔🙏

Please donate and share🙏
