rhino eyesight is is so short-range that they can’t really make out any objects more than about ninety feet away, and details just straight-up elude them!
that’s okay though, because if you’re a rhino you can always just put your head down and charge any suspicious blurs in your vicinity, and as long as they’re smaller than an elephant, you’re good :)
oh FUCK
If rhinos need to be airlifted, they generally need to be suspended by the feet, and they look really silly
This guy in the photo wandered into known poaching areas, and they had to airlift him to safety ASAP
They need to be transported upside down because were they in a harness, the pressure on their rib cage would crush and damage the lungs (potentially fatally). The alternative is to put them on stretchers like this:
However it takes ~30 minutes to secure a rhino to a stretcher, meaning they need to be knocked out for far longer, and the anaesthetics used can cause either respiratory depression (breathing suppression - less common) or hypoxemia (low blood oxygen - more common) - this is where being suspended upside down actually helps!
A study was done in 2015 to compare sideways lying (like on the stretcher) to upside-down suspension that showed that being upside down actually increases blood oxygen levels as it stretches open the airways, making it the safest, easiest way to transport these 1-3 ton beasts
If you follow Selmers to the poetry society meeting in Night In The Woods, this is her poem.
I loved it and the themes of the game, and wanted to use it as practice to see if i can control the way readers ‘hear’ the words through images.
How does one move their hands at different tempos? ive been trying to get into piano but i keep running into the problem of my hands having difficulty working at different tempos.
I dunno for me I tend to try and get my one hand into the rhythm until it becomes automatic and then I start on the other hand, trying not to think about the first hand anymore, just letting it do its thing. Once I’ve got the feel for that, I can usually get back into it from muscle memory if that makes sense? I dunno I think it’s probably different for everyone
This is like, the pipe organ of bonking your siblings with the empty wrapping paper tube 😍

Fun history facts: One of the 31 people arrested at Stonewall on June 28th 1969 was American folk singer Dave Van Ronk, who was not at the Stonewall Inn at the time and was cis & straight as far as I’m aware. He’d been eating dinner at a nearby restaurant when he noticed a riot happening, said “Well I suppose I should go see what the fuss is about,” stepped outside, and immediately started throwing bricks at the cops.
Ol’ Davey really just saw people rioting in the streets and went “Sweet! ACAB!”
I’m reading reviews of off-brand maxtrax style recovery boards and this review kills me. Imagine being that UPS driver, delivering a package to some guy at the end of this muddy clay road and of course you fucking get stuck and you think “well, my day just went to shit” but then the guy you just made the delivery to busts the package open and pulls out a set of recovery boards and gets you unstuck in one shot, can you even imagine
