Zoo and Animal Facts

Paleontology amd zoology memes are the best

Theyre all good girls 

It was kind of a dick move to create animals that require air, then confine them to the freaking ocean

They were what now?

Mother Nature, come out here I just want to talk

It’s important to mention that we now know dolphins will probably never need to develop true water breathing, because the fact that they breathe air from the surface is actually an ADVANTAGE for them. They get more oxygen at once than an animal with gills and it permits a much higher, more energized activity level for longer periods of time. They are murderous monsters empowered by their access to the forbidden air

This my bebe. Bebe is bigger than me. Strong bebe

NOW I CAN BE A TRUE MERMAID

I actually did a report on this last year! The substance is called perfluorocarbon and because of its unique nature, it can hold enough oxygen inside of it for you to breathe it. You can breathe safely while inside it, but sometimes the transition from breathing in the perfluorocarbon and the air can be painful or uncomfortable as your lungs try to push the liquid out of them. In Dan Brown’s book The Lost Symbol, the process of reverting back to breathing the air can feel like being birthed.

thank you friend

how the fuck do they know what being birthed feels like

holy shit

That went from cool to horrifying is 0.05 seconds

Holy shit

Hey I’ve been there too! One thing I liked was how they had some of the old “historical” cages left standing with bronze statues inside - really shows how far zoos have come
