This is a bit of a lead-up to my next big project (for my educational instagram account) on domestic animals, but I felt it would be a good standalone post. After doing a bit of petting zoo work I’ve realized many people have misconceptions over what makes a goat a goat and what makes a sheep a sheep.
Hint: it’s not the horns or the wool or the beard!

tree of life featuring some of iran's native wildlife (except for the peacock but they're historically & culturally significant so it's ok)

Happy Secret Samol to everyone, but especially @ringneckedpheasant, the person this song is for!
I was inspired by your prompts to write a Kingdom game era Orth and Ibex duet.
Huge thanks to @nvrlernd2-reid, who performs the part of Ibex on this track!!!
Lyrics below the cut.
(I also made a youtube lyrics video so if that's your preferred place to listen to tunes you can check that out here.)
Orth's part is in plaintext, Ibex's is in italics, both is in bold
Captain of a sinking ship
Leader of a one way trip
Somebody’s pawn in somebody’s grand design
Blazing a golden trail
Too bad we’re all doomed to fail
And when we all die
The blame will be mine
I fly with the weight of the world on my shoulders
Give the weight to somebody who’s bolder, colder
Soldier you’re gonna be fine
I lied
Eldest of a dying breed
Brother called up to lead
Nobody’s pawn, not even a divine’s
This man is too sensitive
Enter, executive
I’ll lend a hand to steady his lacking spine
I fly with the weight of the world on my shoulders
What’s another minuscule boulder?
I told her that I would be fine
I’ve tried
Captain of a sinking ship (They love you in peacetime)
Leader of a one way trip (They need me in war)
Somebody’s pawn in somebody’s grand design (Don’t you forget what it is we’re fighting for)
Please, give me some advice (I’m happy to help you)
Guidance sure would be nice (I’m an excellent guide)
If only the stars could lend us their shine (What great things we can do side by side)
I fly with the weight of the world on my shoulders
Give the weight to somebody who’s bolder, colder
Soldier you’re gonna be fine
I lied
Captain of a sinking ship, leader of a one way trip
Somebody’s pawn in somebody’s grand design
