@the_EMA_ I also remember back then going through quite a hard time and deciding to go for a late night walk and listening to this record. I left my house in a bit of a difficult place but returned feeling understood and calm mainly because it proved certain feelings could be articulated.

Ochre starfish over 5 years have evolved the quickest ever recorded to combat a virus brought on by rising sea temperatures ensuring that they don’t melt. The population decreased by 80% but is now making a healthy comeback.

Platypuses close their eyes, ears and nose when diving, so they cannot see, hear or smell. They hunt by using electroreceptors in their bill to detect tiny electric currents generated by their prey's muscle movements

When threatened, the Spanish ribbed newt forces its ribs through its skin to form a row of spikes on either side and also secretes a stinging poison. It does this repeatedly and causes it no harm
