So. Today I learned that penguins have projectile poo, and that there’s a pterosaurs that could have eaten people whole.
I’ll let you pick.
The penguins were extra traumatizing… not only can they apparently shoot their shit to avoid crapping on their eggs and young, but they also live and breed in tight colonies, making them dump on each other 🤧 one of my favorite animals I can never see the same again
The penguins will be something my nephew will find interesting.
SiL … let’s just say her favorite movies is Happy Feet.
I’m torn between sharing facts he’ll find interesting, and ruining penguins cuz he won’t shut up about it.
Personally I see that as a win-win.
nah the projectile poo is 100% I even accidentally recorded it when I was at a zoo once
“Accidentally”….lol.
man I thought the penguin was posing for me so I started recording, but it was just preparing to shit
The bastard probably set you up.
