The gif does not seem to be working. So here is a video! Spider jaws are fascinating!

So, what have I been up to lately? I've been exploring the form and function of spider jaws at the Smithsonian NMNH. I expect to share some cool discoveries soon!
Gif of a spider's external anatomy. Proceed to show internal anatomy, focusing on the muscles that control the paturon of the spider jaws.

Drop an alien that’s not from Star Wars or Star Trek.
Still from the movie Cone Heads.

This baby boy knows I’m leaving again. This time it’ll only be for 2 days. I’m sure he can’t wait for me to get back so he can bite my calf again. 🐈🛫
Tabbie cat laying on his back looking at the camera with his two top teeth showing. His eyes are slightly squinted in a kinda “I’m smiling but I’m still a dick” type of way.

My little sister (32 years old, so no prodigy or anything) painted this picture of my baby Emma, who passed away last month. It’s so good!

I always enjoy getting away from my computer and R stats to see a fun punk rock band.

My lap kitty isn’t doing so well. She had a stroke last week and her mammary cancer has spread to the lungs. Time is limited and I am sad. We lost her brother in April. 😢

A 3 part story of a naughty boy.
3 pictures of the same tabby cat on top with a human leg in the bottom of the frame. In the first picture the cat is looking at the camera. In the second he is sniffing the leg of the person. In the third he is biting the leg in the photo.

Just thinking about these little flatfish and how adorable they are. These little guys are also called tonguefish and they live in pretty harsh environments! You can find them near molten sulfur pools of hydrothermal vents (upwards of 180* C). 🐟🐠🧪

This demon boy slept on my lap for over an hour. This is the first time in over a year that he has cuddled on my lap. Maybe he will get more cuddly with age… at least, that is what I hope.❤️ 🐈‍⬛

The tiniest bleep. ♥️
