Hydnodora is a parasitic plant that spreads pollen through trapping insects. For the kids: this is a scary plant that lives off of other plants and eats insects like a flytrap, only to spit them back out
Load More Replies...Bored Panda reached out to Mosco to learn more about her creative process and herself. The artist shared that she grew up in Ottawa, Canada, a pretty city with lots of nature close by. "I split my time between reading collections of newspaper comics and looking for critters in the gardens and ponds. When I tried making my own cartoons, I made them about what I knew—funny things that my animal neighbors did."

Creating comics that are both engaging and educational is not an easy task. For Mosco, the most challenging part is coming up with jokes that other people will find funny. "Because I spend so much time alone in the woods, I can have trouble deciding if a joke is just amusing to me, or if everybody else will like it. Sometimes it turns out that nope, it was just me. But when other people are laughing along with me, it’s so gratifying," she said.

Bearded dragon! Very cute, easy to care for, trainable after a fashion, and not expensive for the plain ones. The major problem is a short lifespan though. I'd like to have a pet tortoise. It'll outlive me with no problem & have a caretaker lined up.

How short is their lifespan though? (As a rat owner, anything more than 2 years is considered "long", lol)

Aiming point for the early colonists with the inaccurate weapons of the time. Ben Franklin wanted the turkey to be the official bird of the new country instead of the eagle. With what we have in office today, the turkey would have been much more appropriate. (except trump would have needed a turkey buzzard to be more accurate)

Comics have a unique way of communicating messages and stories, often in an engaging format. We asked Mosco what messages or stories she aims to convey through her work. The artist replied that she wants to show people that nature is beautiful in its complexity. "I want to express how much I love it, and help other people love it so that they’ll conserve it. Besides my nature comics, I make comics about climate change. Those feel very important because I’m trying to show people that they’re not alone in worrying about this issue. There are so many of us who care. When we know we’re not alone, we become powerful."

A bird invaded our school, giving itself brain damage trying to escape. Like it was flying around. Janitors, students, and eventually animal control. We have no idea how he got inside

If I were you I'd start backing off from there. Something tells me that owl is going to lay you on that moose head next.
"Sometimes people tell me that one of my comics helped them save an animal in need, like a baby bird in distress, a turtle crossing a road, or a lost pet pigeon. Other times, they tell me that I made them smile when they were feeling sad. When I hear that, I never want to stop doing what I’m doing, even if it can be so silly," Mosco shared.

Nothing to worry about, it's just the greater North American Birdzilla. Completely harmless if it can't see you. Just looked again, it may be the crested Birdzilla. They have excellent hearing. Sorry, not an expert here.
Mocha the Lion 2 years ago
however I AM, you are close its a Blue Ringneck Birdzilla (the eastern cousin of the Birdzilla familly tree) there is no crest so its not a Crested Birdzilla, you can tell it is a Blue Ringneck Birdzilla because of the blue ringed neck, they have red eyes unlike any other birds in th Birzilla tree. but this one is also young to the blue ring around its neck will spread over to the wings as it gets older

They should include a hawkmoth. An insect version of hummingbird that found the secret to drinking nectar while hovering in the air.

I don't recall the name, but I like the "stuffed toy" moths. I'd like to be able to see one sometime.

Don't forget annoying corvid (not covid, CORVID) time when, if you've accidentally fed them, then in mating season you have "company" and later you may be introduced to the newly fledged kiddies as a reliable source of food. Followed by more corvid hollerin' when you try to convince them your small compost heap was not their snack bar.

Might want to educate yourself a bit better :) Ducks and geese do have lamellae ("teeth"). A few species of ducks lack lamellae (such as Mergus serrator) but all of the rest DO have them. Geese also do have lamellae. You may wish to google "Wood Duck lamellae", for example.

The reason Canadians are so polite is their Geese have absorbed all the hate and evil from the people of Canada. "Oh, I can FLY. But I choose to WALK! With my entire family and crew across the street while you're late to work" 🤣🤣😈
Dick Fint 2 years ago
Craps all over the place, has personal space issues even if you need that space to walk, and you're the bad guy if, after getting your ankle sprained slipping on goose schitt, you kick one in the neck because you can't outrun it. We should be eatin' goose instead of turkey.

Crop milk! In Russia there is actually a type of souffle/cake called Pigeon Milk, likely referring to this
Anastasia Vavilina 2 years ago
It's just called Bird Milk, not Pigeon Milk, and it was named as a reference to "bird milk" being used to describe something mythical or extremely rare, nothing to do with real biology. Also, the original Bird Milk is Polish, not Russian.
