YIIIIKES!!!

cadnj.bsky.social•8 days ago

sniff sniff... i smell carnage a'comin'

mammalssuck.bsky.social•8 days ago

Normally such near-evenly matched mustelids would avoid a battle- too much risk of serious injury!

Indeed, otters are adapted *to avoid competition* by fishing waterways not typically used by other mustelids in their environments...

So they apologize to each other and go off to find lunch

BUT I AM TIRED OF COMPLAINT EMAILS THAT THERE WAS NOT ENOUGH CARNAGE AND TOO MUCH *SCIENTIFICALLY ACCURATE* RUNNING AWAY NIGHT ONE #2025MMM

scattered-stardust.bsky.social•7 days ago

I respect the running away. My class was so hilariously mad about the quokka winning.

Katie has spoken #2025MMM

sci-storyteller.bsky.social•8 days ago

but I love scientifically accurate running away!! #2025MMM dang that's why we pacifists need to complain more I guess

I love battles that end with leaving the field of play to gobble yummy figs #FigGate #2025MMM

battlegriffon.bsky.social•8 days ago

.... and to play tetherball & sip cocktails on Decamp Champ Island!

And, yes, we keep the fig locker stocked! #2025MMM #FigGate

Lol, haters gonna hate! I love the science and the roar of the classroom carnage or no carnage! #2025MMM

mrspope.bsky.social•8 days ago

Hey man, running away IS an option! My D&D DM reminds us of this often 😅

jadebyrd.bsky.social•8 days ago

This is all volunteer work people!!

mammalssuck.bsky.social•8 days ago

Hahahaah I don't mind the joking complaints...

but the confrontational messages from people I don't otherwise have any kind of long-standing interaction with.

no.

jadebyrd.bsky.social•8 days ago

I think you are all amazing!

mammalssuck.bsky.social•8 days ago

Spotted-necked Otter has 3lbs in body weight & 2 inches in body length on the Tayra! #2025MMM

stoatamatic.bsky.social•8 days ago

that's a difference of 6.19 stoatweights and 0.15 stoatlengths (this discrepancy is due to stoats being long & not weighing very much) #StoatsAsMeasurement #2025MMM

belong813.bsky.social•8 days ago

This is almost as good as an okapi and a wolverine

belong813.bsky.social•8 days ago

Who said that? Who said that? Natick bobcat was it you?!?

cjmoose.bsky.social•8 days ago

Plus that whopper of a tail! #2025MMM

mammalssuck.bsky.social•8 days ago

Spotted-necked Otter bites down on Tayra's shoulder thickly muscled from climbing trees!

Tayra bites down on Spotted-necked Otter's shoulder, made strong from holding down big fish for bite & rip eating!
