radfauna: I follow a lot of awesome vegans and a lot of vegan posts pop up on my dash. I’M NOT GETTING INTO AN ARGUMENT ABOUT VEGANISM WITH ANYONE. THAT’S NOT WHAT THIS IS ABOUT. I just feel like I need to address a trend I see pretty frequently: Anthropomorphism of farm animals. This is DANGEROUS,… Continue reading PSA

WHAT A GOOD IDEA
If you own a pool and have lots of wildlife in your area please buy one of these! A lot of animals drown in pools because they fall in trying to get a drink and cannot get back out.
Bats are especially in danger of this, yes they can swim, but sometimes pool ledges are too high for them! Save the bats and buy one of these for your pool!
Oh I love this!!!
suzythered: jangojips: teressabee: darthmelyanna: ekjohnston: ironychan: Thousands of years ago, somebody looked at a flock of sheep and went, “well, they aren’t cold.” Guys. Guys. It’s so much better than that. So once upon a time, goats and sheep were essentially the same animal, and all of them had hair. Now, you can do some… Continue reading
flo-nelja: ignitesthestars: I like that at some point a human looked at a sheep and went ‘oh man that looks warm, I wish I was that warm’ and then stole all its hair It seems more plausible that the humans were like “I will steal the skin and hair of EVERYTHING to feel warmer *evil laugh*”… Continue reading
teal-deer: roachpatrol: sapphicaquarius: tsfennec: roachpatrol: prokopetz: I’ve seen a lot of videos going around of urban-dwelling critters coming to humans for help with various problems, ranging from boxes stuck on their heads to young trapped down a storm drain, and it’s gotten me to thinking: On the one hand, it’s kind of fascinating that they… Continue reading
Animal Facts You Didn’t Know
It seems like all of the resources I can easily find online for identifying wolves vs dogs are either massive and difficult to understand without prior knowledge of the subject, or extremely bare-bones and miss a lot of key information. I tried to hit a comfortable middle-ground. (sorry if it’s a little wordy)
This tutorial is made as a reference for drawing, so everything but purely visual differences between dogs and wolves have been left out.I’ve been wanting to make this for a while now, so I’m glad I finally sat down and did it!
**EDIT**
When it comes to the section on wolfdogs, please take it with a grain of salt. With something as complicated as genetics, they are of course, not going to be as simple as I make it seem. What features different levels of content can display, and even which percentages designate which levels of content are often hotly debated within the wolfdog community. At this point I’ve elected not to change the image set itself because:
a. it’s a huge pain in the ass
b. this is a tutorial for beginning artists. It’s meant to be a hugely simplified version of the topic, and I’ve stated clearly that it is NOT to be used in real-world identification.((Huge thanks to yourdogisnotawolf. who’s blog inspired me to make this and for digging up that amazing picture of the wolf/lab mix))
