I recite this to myself every time I refrain from making a stupid purchase
TIL the reason you don’t find much Lyme’s Disease in California is not because we don’t have Ticks, or Lyme Disease Vectors; but rather: because the Western Fence Lizard (if you live anywhere in California this is your regular Garden Variety Lizard) has adapted a passive immune response that makes their blood lethal to Lyme Disease Bacteria. Any Tick that feeds on one gets its gut cleansed of Lyme Disease as a side effect.
There is a new vaccine going into Phase 3 trials from Valneva and Pfizer as well as a monoclonal antibody-based prophylactic treatment being researched at UMass!
"the only cure for this weird disease is the special lizard blood" is a Star Trek TOS plot that escaped into the real world
ithrowshoesatconservatives asked: What would your top five picks be for an extinct animals touch tank?
Ooohhhhh my lawd there’s so many possibilities… I’ll do my best… (I’m imagining this as a standard ocean animal touch tank like the one we have at the aquarium)
Trilobite. Obviously. You gotta have a trilobite that’s the crowd-pleaser
We could probably have a small ammonite species as long as they don’t get too stressed by human interaction
Bellerophon species maybe?? Ancient goop
I feel like we need some Cambrian chordates they’re so weird
Sollasina cthulhu!!!!!!! Freak-ass eldritch sea cucumber!!!
Also this obviously wouldn’t be in the same tank as the others but I want a Diplocaulus. They’re so so good
Gonna throw in my recommendation for Dickinsonia, delightful ocean flatguys:
