  1. "“It’s gross at one level, but it’s also kind of adorable. They’re cruising around like, ‘Oh, this looks delicious. I’ll eat some of this and then put the rest on my back.’”

    In 2024 a new species of caterpillars got discovered on Hawaii that not only use other insects' body parts to hide under but also occasionally are cannibalists! I just love everything about this.

  15. "Carnivorous plants have no reason to grow to horror film sizes because they are already living on adaptation’s edge, borrowing what they need from another kingdom of life as they huddle in the world’s wetlands."

    "#Arthrobotrys oligospora usually derives its #nutrients from decaying organic matter, but starvation and the presence of nearby #worms can prompt it to form traps to capture and consume worms. A. oligospora is just one of many species of #fungi that can trap and eat very small #animals."

    Mechanics reveals the role of peristome geometry in prey capture in #carnivorous #PitcherPlants (#Nepenthes) pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pnas.2306

    "shape, size, and geometry of carnivorous pitcher plants determines the type of prey they trap."

  25. For those of you living in #south and #west #Wales, there is a brilliant #Welsh #orchid festival this weekend at #Aberglasney house & gardens near #Carmarthen, attended by some the UK''s most exciting growers & experts in their fields.

    A fantastic range of #carnivorous #plants will also be available from one of the UK's national collection holders.

    We went a few years ago and it was amazing.

    The garden is also fabulous, so all in all, a worthy day out.

    Support our local gardens if you can.

  26. #Fossils of Two New Abelisaurid #Dinosaurs Uncovered in #Morocco sci.news/paleontology/moroccan

    New fossils of #Abelisauridae (#Dinosauria: #Theropoda) from the upper #Maastrichtian of Morocco, North Africa sciencedirect.com/science/arti

    "The two new #dinosaur species lived approximately 66 million years ago and had short, bulldog snouts and very short arms. They belonged to Abelisauridae, a family of #carnivorous dinosaurs that were counterparts to the #tyrannosaurs of the northern hemisphere."

    "The unusual #fossil from around 125 million years ago shows a dramatic moment in time when a species of #badger-like #carnivorous #mammal called #Repenomamus robustus attacked the bipedal plant-eating #dinosaur #Psittacosaurus lujiatunensi."

  32. @clay @alex @calibri For sure! Absolutely! After 85,000 years of the #natural_selection process 🤘💀🤘

    But I thought the #Klaus_Schwab diet making all the headlines as of late is based on #Soylent_Green? Y'know, something more natural and organically #cannibalistic in nature - since I'mma promised to be happy and own nothing.

    Ah, what do I know though. I'm just an #unrepentant, #carnivorous, #capitalist_pig anyway lolz.

    Now you went and did it Clay! I'm fricken' hungry! So I'mma #eviscerate one of my #Humboldt grass fed dead cows 🐮, and use my #morphologically_functional #incisors engineered to rend, rip, and tear the #bloody_flesh from that animal I #massacred so I can ingest it for all those #Omega_3's... 🐄

    Unapologetically, and without giving anyone the benefit of a CW when I post it too, #Muahahaha - #Yummies! 🥩

    Here's what part one looks like... And remember, #Parts_is_Parts!

    So... I can haz #Cheezburgerz? 🍔
