💁🏻♀️ TIL: 🐭❄️ Researchers studying long-clawed #shrew skulls from #Hokkaido found that while the #skull shrinks in #winter, the snout grows larger and wider, the reverse of a known seasonal shrinking pattern.
The expanded nasal cavity may warm freezing #air before it reaches the #brain, keep scent detection sharp, or both. The changes appear reversible and may occur in other shrew species.

Some of the strangest English legends concern screaming skulls. Usually seen as belonging to former residents of a house, they emit horrifying screams if anyone tries to remove them or if anything unusual happens. One skull from Chapel-en-le-Frith, Derbyshire, screamed to announce the births and illnesses of farm animals and family deaths. Some robbers once stole it, but returned it after being tortured by its incessant shrieks. When a railway was being built across the house's land, the skull would allegedly undo all progress after work finished for the day. The skull was eventually appeased by an interview with the chief engineer, who promised it free passage over the line forever. The painting below is 'Vanitas Still Life' by Pieter Claesz, 1630. #folklore #gothic #weird #skull #history #mythology #paranormal #ghosts #death #art #arthistory

💁🏻♀️ TIL: 🦊🐋 #Indohyus was a #fox-sized, semi-aquatic mammal that lived in and around the coast of an island #India 49 to 45 million years ago.
#Fossil evidence, including a #skull accidentally broken in the lab in 2007, showed whale-like inner-ear #bones that placed it as the closest non-whale relative of all modern #whales. It gave rise to #Pakicetus and a chain of increasingly aquatic ancestors leading to today’s toothed and #baleen whales.

When the sound of a #blast rips through my head, as though my #skull were being #crushed with a #sledgehammer, it's already too late.
I leap out of #bed before I’m fully #awake, grabbing the #slippers and things I left by the #apartment door the night before in #preparation for a quick #getaway once the #explosions engulf the city. It is too late. Too late to run downstairs.
