What’s so special about the Mexican burrowing toad?

Only surviving species of the genus Rhinophrynus, over 190 million years of independent evolution, spend nearly all their lives in the dirt, looks like a whoopee cushion, has a very short breeding period and their call sounds like this:

Honestly what’s not to love?

i cant stop thinking about this picture. the stance. the white suit. the way the gun looks like he’s just making a gun symbol with his fingers. the way his eyebrows are more prominent than his mustache. his fucking neck

This is Superman.

Superman is a tiny tiny little rooster who unfortunately was a little bit stunted in the growth area when he was a chick.

Brother and sister, born at the exact same time.

He eventually caught up but by then the flock had bullied him so much for being tiny he’d been entirely ostracized and turned into a complete loner, now he has to live all by himself over with the cows but he doesn’t care one bit because now he’s in charge of four big brown four-legged chickens and honestly how many can say that.

And they love him right back.

so apparently Cell, aka. one of the most prestigious/high-impact science journals in the US, did this once because two of the authors published in that issue wanted Araki to draw their newly discovered protein as a stand

Partially developed brain found in young girl’s ovary

A
team of surgeons performing a routine appendectomy on a young woman
also found and removed a tumor they noticed growing on their patient’s
ovary. Subsequent analysis of the tumor by researchers with the Shiga
Medical Centre for Adults in Japan revealed that the tumor contained a
teratoma with a brain-like structure along with a partially developed
skull bone and hair fragments. They have published their findings in the
journal Neuropathology.

Teratomas, also
known as dermoid cysts, are not all that uncommon, the researchers
report, but ones that have brain-like structures are extremely rare. In
this case, the teratoma, which is Greek for the word monster, held a
brain-like structure that was so advanced it had partially developed
into a cerebellum with a brain stem and was able to transmit electrical
pulses delivered by the research team.
