Not only that, but the association of early dinosaur=featherless is likely vastly false, as we know at least theropods and ornithischians had a feathered common ancestor, and this likely is not ancestral to only dinosaurs, but ornithodira (pterosaurs+dinosaurs) in general, since the pycnofibers of pterosaurs are quite similar to dinosaur proto-feathers, and it seems more likely that both groups had a fuzzy common ancestor rather than both closely related groups convergently just evolving an important trait like a whole new form of integument.

People who “disagree with feathers”, or more so refuse accuracy in general, are actively working to cover facts and misinform people. There is a reason why we are trying to take this issue head-on, and people saying that we should “chill” only feel condescending, especially when it’s followed by spitting utter bullshit (like comparing dinosaurs to lizards and such), which is just further proving that we cannot “chill” on this issue.

I love seeing that, for once, there are more reblogs than likes

Four reasons to care about Beaked Whales, AKA the best whales.

9/4/19 - Very exciting news! A brand new calf has been spotted in the CA216 matriline with grayish pigmentation, exactly like the little off-colored calf T46B1B in the Pacific Northwest. You can still see the faint fetal folds, indicating that this is a newborn individual.

This is not the same calf, family, or population from the PNW, however CA transients occasionally intermingle with other West Coast transient populations. Who knows what the genetic connection could be between these two calves, if there even is one!

If you leave a hamster wheel out in the forest, wild mice will come and run on it.

By taking income into account, it allows the impoverished able to still survive while paying any fines they may incur. And, ultimately, while $100,000 dollars would be noticeable to a millionaire, they would still get by. And, assuming the law is properly implemented, they would be paying the same equivalent of their yearly income that a poorer person would. That’s what makes it fair. They would be impacted the same way - but you are looking at the amount rather than the equation.
