Strange. A weird “fact” I heard in my childhood was that the yolk contained more protein (also called eggwhite in German) than the egg white. Meh, too tired to research it.
The panther is like a leopard,
Except it hasn't been peppered.
Should you behold a panther crouch,
Prepare to say Ouch.
Better yet, if called by a panther,
Don't anther.
I’d say Jaguars are mainly from South and Central America. Central America is technically part of North America, but point is they’re more in the South.
Yeah, I think I’ll pass and just try to avoid ticks in the first place. One day I was following a trail through some tall grass, and by the time I got home, I found I had 3 ticks latched into my skin in various places.
After I got them all off, I was sick as a dog and running a gnarly fever for the next week. 🤒
They’re disgusting creatures. Takes a lot for me to hate anything more than mosquitos but at least they have the decency to fuck off once they get you.
Let's mildly interest the shit out of this one: While Black Panthers aren't a species, the class of animals tigers and leopards and some other big cats belong to is called "Panther" (plural "Panthera"). So... Tigers are Panthers while black Panthers might not be.
I somehow threw Jaguars in with the lynxes which would have meant that a black panther that's acutally a Jaguar would have been a lynx. Idk what befell me there... Jaguars are Panthera, too, so my "might" is not true. Black Panthers are Panthers.
Literally every time I would say this, on the that other place, that I won’t name, I would get downvoted to oblivion.
Large cats (tigers, lions, jaguars, and leopards only) are part of the panthera genus. Probably where the name came from, but there is no one specific animal that is a panther.
I guess the mountain is sometimes referred to as a panther, but it’s not accurate.
The word “worm” is a bit like “fish” in that it doesn’t actually refere to any specific group of animals, but a many different groups of animals that look alike. It doesn’t have defined taxonomic meaning.
But there are some insects that are called worms colloquially, like mealworms.
Interesting, thanks for the fun fact! My kid is absolutely obsessed with learning all things about animals so I’m keeping stuff like this on deck for when he’s a little bit older and can understand. I’ve learned more about animals in the last year watching videos with him than all through school, which is equal parts sad and awesome.
Cool! Also learned from another comment that the word “worm” is like “fish” in that it describes a variety of creatures that all look similar but are from different groups of animals.
On first glance it seems that this worm was brought back to life with scientific intervention exclusively. But with the disappearence of permafrost these worms will thaw on their own and will resume living and procreating. What I want to say is, that many species of these ice-aged worms may be alive already without anyone noticing, trough permafrost has been thawed away. Who knows what impact these worms will have on our recent fauna and flora?
