Bongos are one of the few mammals with prehensile tongues! This means that their tongues have the ability to grasp and hold, like a monkey's tail or a raccoon's paws. They use this prehensility when eating to pull food into their mouths. 🌍😛

The lesson of history is that tyrants cannot be appeased.

Appeasement only feeds their insatiable hunger for power.

Tyrants prey on people who feel unsafe and vulnerable.

But without mass submission, a tyrant is powerless.

Remember this.

Unlike native Texas deer, axis deer can breed year-round. They don't have rut season, instead growing and shedding their antlers around their individual birthdays each year.

I know I am biased, but I still think of all the squat challenges that ever existed, ours is the best. Why? Because it focuses on physical strength over endurance.

We're building strong women 💪
