I love how he showed how many times he failed though, thatâs inspirational for people out here trying to learn
i love that heâs still doing this
i also love how he fuckin RIPS HIS HELMET OFF AND DESTROYS IT
Okay, so this is incredible and all, but I also love the look of âughâ on his face every time he misses and just slides past the camera on his side.Â
Can we talk about the fact that Diana ALREADY has kiss marks on her face
Like sheâs not rolling her eyes at Harley wanting to smooch her sheâs rolling her eyes at the fact that this ridiculous bisexual ball of sugar wonât stop smooching her
Polycephaly is the condition of having more than one head.
Two-headed animals (called bicephalic or dicephalic) and three-headed (tricephalic) animals are the only type of multi-headed creatures seen in the real world, and form by the same process as conjoined twins from monozygotic twin embryos.
While two headed snakes are rare, they do occur in both the wild and in captivity at a rate of about 1 in 10,000 births.
Most wild polycephalic snakes do not live long, but some captive individuals do. A two-headed black rat snake with separate throats and stomachs survived for 20 years.
Why does this seem to happen to snakes so often compared to other animals? I mean, you donât see this happen to dogs or cats very often but snake embryos seem almost eager to mix it up every once in a while and pull a two-for-one deal in the head department.
The consensus seems to be that polycephaly occurs more often in reptiles than other animals, but the why of it, as far as I could find out, is relatively unknown. Polycephalic animals appear so infrequently and they survive for such a short time that scientists just have not been able to study them sufficiently. If anyone can find more information about why it happens more often in reptiles, feel free to chime in. In the meantime, enjoy these two-headed lizards and turtles:
Can you imagine the arguments!
One thought real quick: two-headed dinosaurs
oh my god i will lose my fuckin mind the day that fossil is found
@magicturtle two headed dinosaurs seems like something youâd be down for.
Rawr YEAH!
I think I misunderstood the assignment.
Um not to put a dampener on the idea of two headed dinos but arenât dinosaurs closer to birds and birds most likely donât have two heads.
Birds are reptiles! That sounds insane, but let me explain.
Biologists use a system to classify animals called the phylogenetic system, which means animals are grouped together based on their ancestry. In this way, birds are reptiles because theyâre more closely related to reptiles than anything else, crocodiles in particular. In fact, crocodiles are more closely related to birds than they are to lizards.
The first groups of reptiles evolved about 300 million years ago. About 40 million years later, Â a group of reptiles called therapsids branched off, which eventually became modern mammals. Other groups of reptiles split off over the next 120 million years, one branch being the dinosaurs. These dinosaurs were only distantly related to modern snakes, lizards, and turtles, groups that had split off at different times. But 65 million years ago there was a massive extinction event, and all dinosaurs were killed except for a single group of feathered dinosaurs. These evolved over the next 65 million years into modern birds.
So birds are dinosaurs, and dinosaurs were reptiles, and thus birds are reptiles.
A point I forgot to mention in my birds-are-reptiles ramblingsâŚtwo-headed birds are definitely a (rare) thing. This bird with two heads and three beaks was found in Massachusetts. (x)
so i learned yesterday that theres a tiny plot at the corn research/breeding nursery i work at thats full of what the breeders call âzoo cornâ??? its like. corn that got mutated by accident when they were breeding and they just kept the lines as separate varieties bc its interesting to see and might come in handy some day (it doesnât get bred into other stuff or developed, just kept in the zoo plot for display). zoo corn includes:
-âbloody butcher cornâ: corn that has red streaks all over the earsÂ
-ârainbow cornâ: corn plants that are covered in red streaks
-âglass cornâ: the breeders say this exists but they dont have it at our facilities??? its corn thats normal corn but the yellow pigment in the kernels got mutated, so the kernels are literally just translucentÂ
-âlazy cornâ: corn plants with the protein that helps keep them upright mutated so they grow straight and then when they reach adulthood, they bend all the way over in graceful arcs. like theyâre perfectly fine theyâre just having a good time on the ground
-âhosta cornâ: its corn but its short and bushy and has square stems instead of round stemsÂ
i love my mutated corn babs they are beautiful and good
okay so a lot of people have been asking me for pics of the beautiful mutated corn children!!
first of all, hosta corn:
its about 2 feet tall, idk if you can tell from that pic. its also hard to articulate how square the stems are but i did my best:
then, some rainbow corn. turns out that its more than red streaks (before hunting out the plot itself for these pics i had only heard verbal descriptions of these plants!!!)
i have no idea what this is but he got pretty yellow streaks???
finally, lazy corn. turns out these are not the graceful creatures i was imagining and are actually hilarious
thats. thats what a row of lazy corn looks like??? like theyâre actually not dying (except the one on the far left that flopped into the alley and got walked on a little)????? theyâre just??? perfectly happy plants just having a great time on the ground???????????????????????????? guys i cant do thisÂ
That only applies if (otherwise they couldnât care less about human casualties)
Itâs an order given from superiors to capture a certain human due to information, interrogation or other crucial for the âCon cause reasons.
Bribery reasons, especially if you are alligned with Autobots
Other reasons where the human is required to be alive and (relatively) unharmed
We see it nearly everytime. The âCon is about to catch the human. The human runs away in hopes of someone saving themselves. The Con makes three huge steps and has the humans in their hands.
It is reasonable for the human to run away from the threat as far as possible. It is genetically coded, it is our fight or flight reaction and seeing something that can kill you is quite horrific. During those moments, the person actually does not really think rationally that there is a way to prevent themselves from being captured.
That is to reach a SAFE ZONE. Believe it or not, after some thinking, I have come to a conclusion that the SAFE ZONE is in fact the area closest to the Con.
To visually imagine this, letâs use Jack Darby and our beloved Vehicon, Steve.
You see, if the Con has an order to safely retrieve you (which means no deaths or injuries) they must be very careful where they STEP.
That gets more than difficult if you are literally. Literally INCHES AWAY from their giant feet. Each step they take has to really well-thought out, not to mention they need to lean down even more than usually to snatch the person.
And now it gets little funny. Running in close circles around them will cause some major confusion, anger, frustration. You get to see them being clumsy as hell. You get to see the trip, get lost, get really puzzled.Â
And hell you might even get to stand directly behind them and witness the rarely seen clumsiness and utter confusion.
What if two or more Cons are after you?Â
Use the same method.
In short, running in circles around them could buy you enough time to run and find a hiding spot in order to avoid getting captured by the Cons.
