I looked up “ovaries on a microscope” on google images and somehow I can kinda see what you mean? they seem innocent. untainted by sin

honestly, everything looks kinda cute on the microscope. intestines? cute as fuck, look at them microvilli and goblet cells. absolutely adorable. blood? don’t even get me started on that, erythrocytes are cuddly pink spheres of love and all the different leukocytes are beautiful and unique.

but ovaries are specially cute to me bc you can see all the stages of an ovarian follicle’s development. from a wee lil primordial follicle to a gigantic, marvelous Graaf follicle ready to pop and get fertilized, it’s all in there and it’s absolutely beautiful. my classmates had to put up with me crying over finding an intact corona radiata in lab class this week

the corona radiata is the structure that kinda looks like sunrays around the ovocyte. the dark purple thing between the corona and the ovocyte is the zona pellucida, which has to be chewed by the sperms in order to fertilize the egg. it’s very exciting to be able to actually see and identify all the structures we learn in class

Elk Make Creepy Shrieks By Whistling Through Their Noses 

This is a wapiti, otherwise known as an elk. And this is the sound of its call.

Not only is it a little chilling — researchers compared it to the sound of the ringwraiths from “Lord of the Rings” — but scientists hadn’t yet determined why they sound like this.

See, bigger animals tend to have deeper voices, and the elk shouldn’t be an exception. It has a large voice box built for making deep sounds, not squeaky ones.

Researchers from the University of Sussex decided to put the puzzle to rest by recording elk calls and studying their vocal patterns. Turns out elk actually do produce low sounds, they just make high sounds at the same time.

When the team examined the animals’ throat structures, they discovered elk can make two sounds at once. They use their vocal cords for deep sound, and they make high-pitched whistles with their noses.

So why do elk make two distinct calls? The researchers have a theory: The low-frequency sound communicates the animal’s size to nearby elk, and the high-frequency noise is meant to be heard over long distances — a way for the animal to say, “Hey, I’m here!”
