Appreciating the subtle and not so subtle physical variations between individuals, subspecies, morphs, and breeds of animals. I'm not an expert, just a person who likes to look through the internet to find interesting looking animals for myself and others. Feel free to point out any mistakes!

VERY random question, but if anyone has seen the movie or is planning on it and is into rats, could you let me know if this was the case? I don’t think any illegal means of watching the movie will be clear enough to get stills of it yet. Maybe it was just the lighting, but the main thing on my mind while watching this very graphic mean spirited movie that I enjoyed very much was ‘I think they did a bad job casting those rats’.
Warning that harm comes to the rats, pretty sure it’s simulated but still it is graphic.
Terrifier 3 was gory and MEAN and awesome and I am glad they went there, but I am pretty sure they used fancy rats to play wild rats. A fancy color, not wild type. Like this color but rats. What’s that color called?

#the rats were good actors and very cute but they didn’t look like wild rats to me#obviously healthy and well socialized and a pretty color#off topic#domestic rat

2 months old vs 2 years 3 months old. Getting soooo close to being all black! For sure by his next birthday. The second image is slightly exaggerated by the camera. God this morph is so gorgeous, no wonder they are pretty expensive, he was totally worth the money.

Color: The German Shepherd Dog varies in color, and most colors are permissible. Strong rich colors are preferred. Pale, washed-out colors and blues or livers are serious faults. A white dog must be disqualified. ✘
these coat colors and more on redbubble
#domestic dog#selective breeding#I’ll go with black sable#for accepted colors#liver and blue are very cool colors for a shepherd to be tho

Tyson Sketch Fund
I’ve started a project to help boost donations for families escaping Gaza. Each vetted fundraiser I post, i will donate a small amount (usually around $5usd). Anyone who matches or exceeds my donation amount to any of these fundraisers can send me proof of their donation and receive a colored digital sketch from me! My sketch commissions usually run at a minimum of $15usd, so donating to families in need is a significantly less costly way of getting a simple piece from me. It’s a win for everyone involved.
All vetted donation posts will be listed under the tag: #sketch fund



More examples of my work can be found at @six-legged-sea-leopard. My only caveat is that i don’t currently do nsfw. I am fortunate enough to be doing alright financially, so if you like my art and want a discounted piece, please direct your money toward someone who desperately needs the support.
#fundrasier#this is my friend they are great at animals!#get yourself some art#off topic#i swear I’ll try posting again things have been Weird for me

Selective breeding in plants is equally cool and important as it is in animals, this fall thank the indigenous people of the Americas for domesticating these bad boys

If you ever wondered what the best living vertebrate is, it’s the alligator gar in my totally not biased 100% scientifically backed opinion. They are just a flawless creature. Nothing wrong with them. Good tooth to snoot ratio, they have a winning smile.



They and other monster fish absolutely should NOT be in the hands of most private keepers at all and I do NOT support morph breeding of them because of that, but pretty fishy cute :c

do you know what the deal is with this weird squirrel? we have a lot of black squirrels in the park nearby but ive never seen one like this before. symmetrical pattern, its other side looked the same.

Eastern grey squirrels are funky! Here are oddly colored individuals on my favorite iNaturalist group, they seem to be the most commonly reported species. Melanistic ones don’t always come in pure black, they can be very interesting like the one you saw!
