It was kind of a dick move to create animals that require air, then confine them to the freaking ocean
If you are talking about dolphins they used to be wolf like creatures that due to scarcity of food they had to hunt in water so they slowly evolved into water mammals, dolphins still have claw bones but they are unnecessary and dolphins will get rid of them with time and will develop abilities to breath under water
(This also partially applies to whales)
They were what now?
Mother Nature, come out here I just want to talk
Whales are actually Ungulates, more so hippos, entelodons, etc…
Meaning they were somewhat related to big celebrities such as Daedon (the “hell pig”) and Andrewsarchus.
The appearence of the first ancestors of whales probably looked like a small hoofed thing called Indohyus.

Basically they went from tiny hoofed herbivore to bigger hoofed carnivore to crocodile-like thing to seal-like things to big sea predators.
It’s important to mention that we now know dolphins will probably never need to develop true water breathing, because the fact that they breathe air from the surface is actually an ADVANTAGE for them. They get more oxygen at once than an animal with gills and it permits a much higher, more energized activity level for longer periods of time.
They are murderous monsters empowered by their access to the forbidden air
These are great items because they’re fun for the herbivores to each, the carnivores to tear apart, and everybody to roll and throw around. They’re tactile, olfactory, and edible enrichment all in one!
I believe they’re acceptable on-exhibit enrichment for naturalistic facilities like Brookfield in Chicago, too.
I think of this time of year as Tumblr’s Annual Pumpkining of the Animals Post.
The bat though!
This is the best thing!
Our local pumpkin farm gives any unsold pumpkins to the zoo!
in sweden the government is the one that registers you and sends your voting ballot to your registered home address and tells you when and where to vote and also gives you optional locations on where to vote in advance and you can vote from prison and overseas and also
it’s nobody’s fucking business but your own what party you’re voting for
this whole “register as republican or democrat” is the weirdest fucking thing to me???
oh and the official voting is ALWAYS on a sunday to ensure maximum amount of people are able to do it
oh and paper ballots. no fucking hackers here thanks
Even here in México, which it’s democracy is meh, we do need an ID and to register to vote (because we’ve had real issues with voter fraud) but its super easy, like you have several document options and even if you don’t have let’s say a birth certificate like in a lot of rural or indigenous communities you only need 2 witnesses to register and get your ID, also that ID is your de facto ID, its free, the offices are open every day unless it’s election time and honestly it’s one of the least annoying government procedures. Oh also it lasts 10 years so once you do it you don’t have to worry much unless you move or something
I like to think that at some point Shepard would have fixed the giant, gaping hole in poor Legion’s chest. Hopefully by slapping on a really big plaster and painting over it, making it resemble the old armor, thus showing Legion that it’s fully trusted by Shepard. After all, you don’t just paint “N7” on to any old Geth.
And I also like to imagine that Shepard paints like a two year old.
