Garstiger Truthahn

Wer so einen Truthahn hat, braucht keinen Hund. Womöglich wäre dem gegenüber der Truthahn auch nicht sonderlich freundlich gesinnt.

Alligator vs Golfcart

Derweil in Florida:

A video of an alligator chasing two people riding in a golf cart is likely the most Florida thing you’ll see today! The terrifying incident happened Feb. 16 as the golf cart drove peacefully past a pond in Ave Maria, Florida.

See ya later, alligator.

Kleiner lauter Fisch

Forscher*innen der Berliner Charité haben herausgefunden, dass der Danionella cerebrum, einer der kleinsten Fische der Welt, Geräusche machen kann, die so laut sind wie ein Schuss.

To produce sound, a rib that lies next to the swim bladder is moved by a special muscle into a piece of cartilage. When the rib is released it hits the swim bladder and makes the drumming sound. The rib is much harder in males, which explains why females do not produce sounds.

The scientists have not established why the fish make such loud sounds but suggested it could help navigate murky waters or be an aggressive tactic used by males to warn off competition.

Musik für Käfer

Camiidae kam beim Zeichnen von Käfern auf die Idee, dass es ja ganz schön wäre, wenn sie zu den Zeichnungen Musik für die jeweiligen Käfer machen würde und hat dann ein Album geschaffen, auf dem verschiedenen Käferarten jeweils ein Song gewidmet wurde. Und mit dem Wissen darum kann man das auch als Mensch nicht schlecht finden.

i’ts been an awesome project to work on, and the first one i did of this kind (my first album). it started with me messing around, after finally having some free time. i was drawing bugs because i love them, and then i thought “hey it would be nice to add some music”. i didn’t have any kind of long term project in mind with this, but when i finished with that early tortoise beetle i was like “this is nice, i could make more”, and that’s what i did.
at first i wasn’t very clear about the sound idea and i just did what the bug inspired me to do, but as i kept composing it started to sound more cohesive, like there was a unique style for this.
i was actually scared about that when i decided to make an album, i thought it would sound like many unrelated things mashed together. but to my surprise it didn’t and other people told me the same thing, so yeah that’s cool.
