Today I learned....

Penguins are plum scary!!

Kendrana

Oh wow. That penguin does not look one bit happy. There's a lot of otherwise cute animals like that which can be really scary if they're in a bad mood.

LosaruTaiyo

Yeah apparently under that cute beak is teeth!!

All the more proof that birds are just dinos shrunk down and made weirder.

LacedMetal

The dinosaurs shall rise again! haha, wow that is terrifying!

DarkSuperNinja

HOLY POOPS THAT FREAKED ME OUT!

In all seriousness, it's almost midnight, and I'm half asleep, so I wasn't ready at all! xD

Creepy. But its the same basic thing with geese so this probably isn't as surprising to me as one would expect. Of course geese are more expected to be terrifying and evil but whatever.

Those teeth hurt too. A lot.

Movotti

yeah, birds have teeth




And in the theme of the thread.
Today I learned that the coolest part of the country currently has bush fires, while the rest of the country is having 40C+ weather. There are places that are reaching 47C.
It's a bit toasty downunder this week.

LacedMetal

Oh my gosh... is that a chicken? There's been some of those floating around too! >.<

LosaruTaiyo

If you mean @Movotti 's pic I think it's a cormorant maybe?

Also stay cool @Movotti and it could be worse: Could be -30C windchill like where I am.

@Movotti
Firstly, I WOULD HAVE BOILED BY NOW HOLY POOPS!!
Secondly, I watch a YouTuber who's from New Zealand, and he was boiling on a live stream recently; I feel so sorry for you guys right now!

Today I learned...

Turtles are scarier. Oh so much scarier.

OML I CAN'T!! OMFL

dreamerz13

Well there goes my dream of having a turtle as a pet.

Traarjo

Oh wow! Geese as really disturbing as well!

LosaruTaiyo

Today I learned....

Baby flamingos aren't pink (because they haven't ingested enough shrimp I guess) and they look like a toddler in dad's rubber boots.

icmnfrsh

Yeah, I'd be unhappy too if a bunch of humans were holding my beak open instead of minding their own business.

I knew a lot of animals were hiding rows of teeth, but I didn't know penguins were one of them.

LosaruTaiyo

Today I learned...

Maggots actually look a bit derpy

icmnfrsh

It's like they're wearing a fake costume and not even trying

Today I learned...

This thing (rock hyrax) is related to elephants and sea cows

Wanted to revive this thread after I found this yesterday.

Today I learned that Vampire Squid despite it's predatory appearance it mostly consumes “marine snow”—a mixture of dead bodies, poop, and snot. The dead bodies are the remains of microscopic algae and animals that live in the waters farther up in the ocean, but sink down into the depths after they die. Sorta like how Whales eat Krill.
