My version of "doomscrolling" nowadays is just going to iNaturalist, browsing pictures of animals and fantasizing about where I would introduce them outside of their natural range if I was some kind of ecology-focused evil scientist. I do this when I'm depressed. I don't know if it helps.
Bring hyena to Texas put Texas in hyena paws humans can trust Texas to hyena pack yesss
How could I disagree with such a trustworthy source
animals i really want to introduce to the USA:
-red pandas in Indiana, Kentucky, and Ohio. they can live in those you-pick orchards and delight tourists, and in the winter the big ones can be harvested by the farmers for food and fur. america also has native bamboo, as well as plenty of escaped invasives.
-koalas in southern california. we already have a lot of feral eucalpytus in the state and it makes our wildfires way worse. let's put koalas in there too. coyotes can hunt them like dingos do.
-cheetahs in colorodo, wyoming, nebraska, and oklahoma. we had cheetahs here once, that's why pronghorns are so fast. let's give them something to really haul ass about.
-spotted hyenas in texas and new mexico. did you know there's actually a shit ton of oryx already roaming around new mexico? they were brought in for a game preserve. oryx can fight off lions, but spotted hyenas are actually superior pack hunters with some of the highest kill rates of large cooperative predators in the world. we might have a problem with ranchers, but like: fuck ranchers. they already decimated the mexican wolf populations. they deserve hyenas.
-pangolins. i would drop these guys in arizona honestly. everyone in arizona hates and fears fire ants. i think entire neighborhoods would throw ecstatic parades for pangolins (which smell much better than giant anteaters) at least until a pangolin dug straight through their pasteboard condo.
-new zealand's little penguin in louisiana. they burrow into mud and sand banks during the day and tolerate quite hot temperatures! i think they'd do fine, and louisiana is sliding into the gulf anyway. let's have penguins there. i'd also try them out in new england in case lousiana is just too swampy for them. i feel like new yorkers would go insane with pride over having penguins around. they would act like they invented the whole concept of penguins. we should let them.
-water buffalo. georgia and the carolinas. i just think it would give everyone there some interesting new problems.
-i firmly believe that asiatic elephants would do great in the southeastern united states. it's a subtropical climate that's only going to get swampier as things heat up, and there's plenty of kudzu and tall grass species for them to munch on. they're also smart enough to learn to navigate and negotiate with people, and to follow set routes around human farms rather than tromp through them, so disruption to existing human infrastructure would be minimal but occasionally hilarious. i think it would be so cool to have an american subspecies of elephant. if i ever win the lottery this IS what i am going to be doing with my millions.
Animals I would introduce to each continent:
Europe: Wombat
We've had enough of your fucking rabbits and foxes. Here, have a huge badger type thing that can destroy cars with its arse. It'll outcompete your badgers and where will you be then. Haha.
Asia: Wombat
We've had enough of Indian camels ruining our deserts. Here's something to ruin your terrain for a change.
North America: Wombat
We've had enough of United States tourists with no manners. Here's some tourists with even less manners.
South America: Wombat
WE'VE HAD ENOUGH OF YOUR FUCKING CANE TOADS. WOMBATS FOR YOU.
Africa: Wombat
The feral ostriches aren't actually all that much of a problem right now, but in revenge for the problem they will probably become in the future, have some fucking wombats.
Antarctica: Wombat
I'll take it right back home and warm it up I promise I. I just really want to see a wombat walk and dig in the snow.
Australia: Wombat
The populations of all three species of wombat are dangerously low.

Everyone who keeps pods in Australia dreams of having these. It’s a near-impossible dream because they only occur in the State with the most restrictive protection laws imaginable (and we are very used to bio security and endangered species protection so that’s saying a fair bit). Also even if you live in that State, wilsmoreii cunningly defends itself by only turning up in national and State parks, where they’re off-limits.
POV you’re interrupting mbart media time. rude, honestly :/

Love this
One thing im uncomfortably woke about is bugs. And im actively trying to get more uncomfortably woke. By this i mean i DO believe the normalised fear of bugs stems from both government and business propaganda. The start of household pesticide sales coinciding with the boom in insect related horror movies. The promotion of anti intellectualism and anti enviromentalism. If you're scared of bugs, you wont care about saving them. If you dont care about saving them, you wont care about saving our home, since without bugs it cannot be saved. If you dont care about saving our home, the rich can do whatever they want with the chunks of it they continue to destroy.
I WILL calmly and kindly try to help anyone who is afraid of bugs. I will show them my finds, i will explain their importance, i will tell them just how sweet and gentle and friendly they are. And I WILL shoot down any immature loser who believes senseless killing is the only possible response to not liking something.
Get woke. Love bugs.
EDIT: this breached containment. My usual like count is like 5 😭 i want to clarify i mean people who conflate fear with hate are the ones who wont care about saving our planet, like people who threaten to kill peoples pet bugs or actively kill bugs outside for no apparent reason. Not people who run away from a bee.
[True] bugs are cool, and there are so many other little things with lots of legs -or no legs - that are amazing to watch #buggly things #microbeasts #live and let live (mostly and within reason) #going for a half hour walk but getting no more than 20 metres from starting point if there are rocks and logs to check and moss and lichen to peer at, even if all you end up finding are more bloody Armadillidium vulgare (I am actually very fond of them) and bullants. Which I am a bit scared of. #respect the pincers

Wake up babe, new octopus just dropped
He's such a little guy!
"New octopus just dropped" best trend ever
"OR WOMEN IN GENERAL"???? HELLO
Reblog to bully people who don't like female characters or women in general off the internet.
By all means don't like women in general, if you must, but if you won't shut up about it ...
Pov you're Three and multiple fuck off massive ships saw you from across the bar and liked your vibe ✨
Very vaguely inspired by this from Platform Decay (mild spoiler):
I'm the isopods one. I love the idea that Three not only knows what an isopod is, but wears the t-shirt.

Hi, hoping I haven't missed the requests window - could you please do one (some!) of the Australian fairy-wrens? They're not actually wrens but they are tiny and cute and cheeky and one of my favourite types of bird. They bounce. The Superb Fairy-Wren Malurus cyaneus is just gorgeous (SE Australia, eg Victoria.) Or there are the Emu Wrens (neither emus nor wrens) which are even tinier, eg the Southern Emu-wren Stipiturus malachurus which has a lifelong bad hair day. Southern Australia incl Victoria, but for some reason not around the Great Australian Bight, only east and west. Thankyou!
Yes... yes.

Seeing a little blue-cap and his family pop-popping about in the bushes and hearing their twittering always makes me happy. I don’t know about the other species, but superb fairy-wrens are socially monogamous (pair for life) but both sexes are dirty little stop outs, one of the most promiscuous birds known to science.

I just got described as an "ad hating commie" by someone because I said a minute of youtube ads is unpleasant. fully spent 5 minutes arguing and defending youtube ads. insane stuff
reblog if you are an ad hating commie
Guilty as charged
car is a sentient beast that eats dollars and can tell when you have money in your bank account
All tech over a certain level has personality and motivation as well as sentience. Motivation is often malice. And the threshold is surprisingly low, I have had the mozz put on me in Form 1 sewing class by an ancient and profoundly vindictive sewing machine.
Repost if you’d select yes
Yes but carefully, it looks like one of the bitey sea ones
can everyone do me a favor and tell me your favorite thing to put on toast in the tags
i love this post so much. all the replies are like
"i'm so basic.....i just like a lot of butter or jam :(" (as though those are not god's best and most beloved condiments and his greatest gifts to mankind)
"FUCK health guidelines FUCK my cholesterol and most importantly FUCK diet culture i'll put a dumpster full of butter on my toast and not even GOD will stop me" (no notes. god would encourage this)
doxxing one's self by mention of polarizing regional delicacies (i am so curious about vegemite i must admit)
"does a grilled cheese count as toast?" (not for the purposes of this post)
"i don't like toast please don't kill me" (i appreciate the honesty but i fear this post is not for you)
people who put full ass meals on toast (based)
people who do not but eat toast as a full meal (based)
melty peanut butter (absolutely based)
"it's a guilty pleasure but...nutella 😳" (relieve yourself of fear and enjoy your dessert toast)
special shoutout to the pots-havers adding extra salt. also the one person who mentioned kaya. i see you and am in agreement
An Aussie classic
Nothing matters. ✨ Nothing matters! ✨

This year's crop of Armadillidium vulgare "caramel" bubs. They're about three months old and starting to show their colours. It's a fantastic breeder morph, no idea what the genetics are but it throws a huge range from very pale blondes through caramels to grey wild type. These are living in/hollowing out a Bushy Yate seedpod (Eucalyptus lehmannii), at least that's what I think it is.
