Evolution - Tumblr Posts
a Thing about me is that i'll have moments where I randomly look up from whatever I'm doing and observe the many objects in my surroundings and think, "wow, this was all because of thumbs"
EVOLUTION"S REVOLUTION Written & Composed by Michael Woodhead Copyright ©1971, 2021
Are you one of us Are you on the bus of Evolution's revolution Are you in a dream Are you in the stream of Evolution's revolution Evolution's revolution It is what we feel Evolution's revolution In the minds we peel
Are you still alive Are you still deprived of Evolution's revolution What will you soon find Inbetween the mind of Evolution's revolution Evolution's revolution It is everywhere Evolution's revolution Feel it in the air
When the people stare And when you are bare Evolution's revolution Sit upon my chair Stroke your silken hair Evolution's revolution Evolution's revolution Know that you're so fair Evolution's revolution You know you are there With us as we share Evolution's revolution
Meet the most extra male cetacean alive
Ok so you know how sometimes evolution, and particularly sexual selection, leads to some really over-the-top traits in males? Like how male birds of paradise develop ridiculous plumage for mating that makes them more visible to predators and hinders their flying ability? Well, let me introduce you to Mesoplodon layardii, the strap-toothed whale.
Yes, those are tusks growing out of the male’s lower jaw. Tusks that can grow up to a foot in length, and curve back and over the jaw, eventually preventing the male from opening his jaw by about 50%.
The tusks aren’t used for feeding (they primarily eat squid, so no teeth necessary), but instead are used for fighting, similar to a narwhal’s tusks. Does it seem practical to partially fuse your jaw shut, severely limiting the variety of prey you can pursue, in order to fight for mates? No. Seems like really bad idea to me. But what do I know? I’m not a strap-toothed whale.
These whales are super rare to see (they live in the Southern Ocean around Antarctica), so there’s still a lot we don’t know about them. And their weird teeth is only one of the unusual things about them (they also have unusual countershading where they’re darker on the bottom and lighter on the top, unlike pretty much every other animal in the ocean). Anyways, I just found out this whale existed and I was fascinated. Hope you enjoy!

Absolutely beautiful gif set - regardless how one feels on the Kylo/Rey situation, this is such an ode to Kylo/Ben and the evolution we see in him between the films. It’s important to remember too, there are only a few hours/days between the two films.

The third prompt I received was to draw an alternate evolution for Kirlia. For this one, I wanted to stick to the theme their megas have, which is princess and knight. Male Kirlias have the option to become a knight instead of a prince, so I wanted to give female Kirlias an option too, which is in the form of Gallagon.
Gallagon is a Psychic/Dark type evolution of Kirlias. To evolve a Kirlia into Gallagon, a female Kirlia must hold a Dragon Scale and level up. Gallagons, similar to Gallades, want to be in the front of the fight. Their dark typing makes them immune to half of their alternative evolutions moves, but it makes fighting do neutral damage while fairy packs a punch.
Red-spotted Purple Butterfly
Limenitis arthemis astyanax
As an evolutionary defense mechanism against predators, this nonpoisonous species mimics the poisonous pipevine swallowtail butterfly in appearance, with which it usually shares the same geographical area. It is a great example of batesian mimicry.

Arhou Dex #H045, Teraleon! This Normal-type evolves from Kecleon!
Teraleon love to show off their shifting, vibrant colors. When they encounter another Teraleon, they will both brighten their colors to try to become more radiant than the other.
Kecleon is one of my favorites and I wanted to make an evolution for it. I ended up going for something based on some of the crazy vivid colors you get on panther chameleons!
Random headcannon I came up with, yes it has to do with watcher Grian:
So first of all the watcher lives in the End-End, (the original) and time goes way much more slower there. So ageing and growing will be much slower, that is why Grian is so short and why Grian doesn't remember being at the watcher's home for too long.
Bonus:
The day that Grian joined (or got taken) (by)the watcher's is the day they celebrate his "birthday", making him loose track of his age,
I dunno how long the end is compared to the over world, maybe 1 years in the over world is half year in the end?
