Sonoran Desert Tortoise (Gopherus morafkai), family Testudinidae, , Arizona, USA

Vulnerable

This species was separated from the Desert Tortoise, G. agassizii, in 2011, based on genetic evidence. The population of “Desert Tortoises” found east of the Colorado River are now Sonoran Desert Tortoises, and those west of the river are G. agassizii.

Dormice

thought about this because it's so frustrating when people argue that 'dying in childbirth' is a historical sort of event that doesn't happen nowadays (false) and therefore is irrelevant to the legal status of abortion, since it's not a real danger.

except it super is, and i think a lot of people haven't noticed that this argument in addition to simply being incorrect is basically the same as when people say we don't need vaccines for deadly diseases because no one gets those now anyway.
