I heard somewhere that centipede fangs are actually just…legs that evolved venom? I have no idea if it’s accurate but if it is, it honestly makes this funnier

Yup, their toxicognaths are modified legs. VENOMOUS stabby legs. Pretty freaking cool. And also terrifying.

Having this fact go from ‘I heard this, but it might be wrong’ to ‘its true they have stabby feet’ is emotionally overwhelming, why is evolution like this

When my leo had his sperm plug impaction I had to teach my mom the word hemipene so she could understand what was going on and care for him as I made it home…she now constantly uses it because it makes my little brother uncomfortable

Not to derail from the totally awesome stabby legs, nor from the indubitable joys of teaching people fun new science vocabulary, but I do want to apologize for my earlier derailment into a garbage truck. 
(Although my epic plan remains the same in a truck garage!

I probably should have posted this to Reptiles in the Wild? Looks like an alligator, but I’m guessing Croc-odile! Caught this guy outside my Post Office. Usually seen in pairs…
