This is a really good idea because it gives the goldfish an area of sand to play in, without the sand being all over the place to interfere with potential cleaning efforts.
Why do they sound like someone’s vehicle has a fucked ignition?
Did someone flood these foxes engines?
^^^ exactly my thoughts
fun fact! red foxes make this sound when they have meet their perfect mate or soul mate would you have it! so basically they’re just screaming for all the other red foxes that they have found their love and for all the others to fuck off
^ That’s completely incorrect! That sound is called ‘gekkering’ and indicates an aggressive encounter. Another post suggested this is probably a territorial dispute. These vocalizations are intended to de-escalate the encounter by making one of the foxes back off before the interaction becomes violent. Foxes, so far as I am aware, don’t have any kind of soul-mate announcement cry. They also don’t have soul mates. They form mated pairs and family groups like wolves and if one of the mated pair dies they mate again fairly quickly.
Here’s another video of what appears to be the same two foxes, taken at the
Zao Fox Village near Shiroishi, Japan. You can see them scuffling with each other before they begin gekkering.
The other day I got a bug up my ass about lake Natron, because I’ve seen the photos of the calcified remains of animals that took a dip in the lake on accident, but I’ve only seen those photos in black and white. I’m sure you’ve seen them.
I thought, you know, calcified remains should be really interesting to see in color, so I tried to find some that had been taken by others, in color. It was not nearly as visual stunning, they were just white rotting remains, I won’t scar anyone by posting them.
But what caught my eye wasn’t the dead. It was the fucking lake.
It’s BLOOD fucking RED.
It’s super alkaline (deadly), blood fucking red (terrifying), and oh, it gets to be 106F/41C in the water. Red spirulina algae thrives here and provides food for the main denizen of the lake…. fucking lesserflamingos.
Look at their fucking mud nests!
You need to leave!! You have found flamingo Silent Hill!! What are you still doing here!! I’ll tell you!! They’re still doing there because literally the death lake protects them from predators, nothing big enough to be a threat to them gets across the lake to get them. There are millions of them living there safely.
What the fuck. what the FUCK nature. This is some of the most amazing shit you’ve ever pulled and hardly anyone knows about it. I’m on to you. I see your blood lake with your pink goth bird decorations. I see you.
Oh, and the flamingos have to build their nests as little hills because falling into the water will kill their eggs and babies.
