Contrary to popular belief, alpacas actually lay their eggs underground, usually in soft soils among farm crops.
Due to the drought in this region of California, this field ended up being comprised of dry, packed dirt, and the alpacling faced difficulty burrowing to the surface, even with its temporary shovel-like tusk.
Here a farmer, tending to the alpaca season, unearths the baby to be greeted by a far more ripe alpaca, ready to teach him how to walk. Nature sure is amazing
I often see foxes referred to as “catdogs” on Tumblr, but I wonder if folks realise how true that really is.
There’s a phenomenon called convergent evolution that occurs when two taxonomically unrelated species exploit the same ecological niche. The features that are needed to best take advantage of a given niche are pretty much the same everywhere you go; thus, over time, those species will become anatomically and behaviourally similar, even though they’re completely unrelated.
And foxes? Foxes are what you get when an ecosystem has no native small felines, so a canine species evolves to take advantage of the ecological niche that would have been exploited by a small feline, if one existed.
In other words, a fox is literally what you get when a dog tries to cat.
So, in a way…
#omg #I knew I had a huge reason for loving foxs #other than #you know #loving fox
on a similar note, hyenas are what happens when there are no dogs so felines fill that niche, Hyenas particularly spotted hyenas are wolfcats
I see the human legs, but where’s the rest of the human in that costume? It doesn’t seem like there’s quite enough room for a human to be standing up inside that thing.
