The World Is Amazing Actually Pt8
Hey, wanna see something that exists on the planet right now and is good?

Even if you don’t watch the video, this is their coat of arms:
‘nuf said.
Today’s Interesting Creature (the rare, the beautiful, the WTF): Psychotria Elatia, aka “the hot lips flower.”
*mwah*
Today’s Unusual Public Service (Society has some perks): The library that checks out dead animals (mixed in with the books and computers, you’ll find stuffed animals, pelts, bones, fish, antlers, and people who are genuinely excited to show you boxes full of dead animal bits...)
Today’s Act of Humanity (people are okay):

Bonus: here’s something that isn’t 100% real just yet, but it’s getting there, guys. Bioluminescent bacterial infusion into plant matter. AKA Glowing Forests.
