90% of the world's sea otters live in coastal Alaska
Lacking the insulation that blubber provides
they rely on a thick coat to survive in the freezing waters
and it's the densest fur of any
arrrrghh i can't bear it
they're just so cute
I mean look at them
They hold hands while they sleep
I don't know about you but I'm legitimately about to pass out from how adorable these guys are.
Look at this one cleaning its fur
and washing it and making it fluffy
because when a sea otter's fur is dirty
like when it is, say, drenched in oil
it loses its ability to retain heat
and the sea otter will quickly die from hypothermia
that's ok though
because we don't rely on a finite resource like oil
we don't ship it in massive containers through their natural habitats
And even if we did
we hardly ever have a whoopsie
got these all from wikipedia
not sure if the places are the places the oil was spilled
sometimes it seems like it's the countries responsible. Not 100% sure tbh
Okay I'm going to do my fake facts thing now because you seem to like it
but don't forget about the sea otters
In the 1990s Herpetologists argued that the population of chameleons far exceeded prior estimates
This was confirmed in the early 21st century
Infrared satellite imagery revealed that, at any one time,
60% of the planet is chameleons pretending to be 60% of the surface of the planet.
The polar bear can live up to 20 years
But it spends almost all of this time
cold
Fossilised remains show that 85% of Dodos
despite the wealth of empirical evidence
were against getting vaccinated.
Grey Wolves are some of the most superstitious canines on the planet
Many believe that on nights when the moon is not full
one of their number may transform into a human being
Interviewed a decade later,
70% of lemmings
say it was probably a cry for help
Cut a worm in half and you will have two worms
These worms will immediately engage in mortal combat
by the time the dual ends
only one worm will remain
this is why cutting a worm in half is a pointless endeavour.
Legend has it that the transformed wolf will then experience a monstrous absence of bloodthirst as it goes about its day
it will eat vegetables with a knife and fork
file tax returns
tie its shoes
get angry at something someone said on the internet
water plant
buy something
feed cat
brush teeth
buy something
microwave
check twitter
contemplate
nap
Nintendobox
and, for the most part,
act completely rationally
the idea of committing such unspeakable acts of tedium
keeps many wolves up at night.
In 2017 microbiologists realised that all starfish are engaged in one massive game of capture the flag
it's estimated this game has been going on for four centuries
and its outcome will not be known for three hundred years.
this is a great series isn't it.
Look at the lens
This is just a little thing I'm doing at the end
saying I'm on Patreon
I haven't told anyone this and I realised that's a silly thing to do
I just need to be honest.
