not to be mean or anything but that american missionary who got killed by the sentinelese was dumb as fuck.
like…its well documented that they’re a tribe that is aggressive to outsiders, it’s illegal to approach the island itself, and they will kill anyone who trespasses. not only that, because they’re an uncontacted people they have no resistance to modern diseases. he risked wiping out a large portion of an already small population because he wanted to proselytize.
and also they almost certainly have their own independent language that only they can speak. dude was just going to walk up and go what’s gonna sound like “oogity boogity” to them and hope they accept jesus cause of it? dumbass.
This burgundy beauty is an African giant toad [also known as the Congo toad, Amietophrynus superciliaris], a true toad found throughout western and central Africa. Due to its enormous range many have suggested that African giant toads are actually a species complex composed of three or more extremely similar, but slightly different, species. Despite the fact that the toad has a status of “least concern” on the IUCN Red List, their sale in international trade was made illegal in 1975, out of fear that their unique looks would cause them to be over-harvested for the pet trade.

Scientists named the octopus cities Octopolis and Octlantis and I just – yes.
wow i hope they invite us to their parties
I saw a documentary about this. Climate change and habitat destruction, while bad, are forcing some octopuses to live closer together, potentially solving a problem that has kept them from being a far more dominant species. They are super smart and very capable of learning from each other but when they live alone, they never get a chance to learn from other generations because their parents leave or die. Now there’s older ones living with younger ones who can pass on knowledge.
Lol a bunch of octopuses just crawled up on a beach the other day for no discernible reason and it was like “meh, it’s 2017” and everyone kinda missed it. I found it funny as fuck and decided they were coming out here to tell us all to cut our shit out.
Harry: If I run and jump at Hagrid, he will most certainly catch me in his arms.

Hagrid: NO! I’M HOLDING TEA-
Hagrid: [drops tea to catch Harry]
