I’ll change to Tetrapods.
- Comment on Dream 🦕 Big 16 hours ago:
Nearly all mammals have a laryngeal nerve that goes from the brain stem to the larynx, but doesn’t go straight for the few inches, instead travelling down the neck to go around the heart. It’s a throwback to when we were ocean dwelling and had gills much closer to the heart.
In giraffes this nerve takes a 15 ft detour.
In something like a brachiosaurus which had a neck around 30 ft long, this would be a 60ft detour.
A great proof of evolution, of making do with what is there and adapting.

Moths are the most incredible creatures. There’s nothing I love more than opening my moth trap on a summer morning to see what beauties I’ve uncovered.
I always like to remind people that all butterflies (the newcomers) are moths, and their variation of species is much more incredible accordingly.

- Comment on Can a reasonable person genuinely believe in ghosts? 4 weeks ago:
Given that sharks are older than trees, and the ocean levels were much higher for millennia, you’d certainly expect to see shark ghosts swimming along 30 feet in the air.
Not to mention dinosaur ghosts. Those bastards were here for millions of years. I’d expect the odd Ankylosaurus or Triceratops sighting.
