    One thing I feel like your average person doesn’t get: most carnivores would always rather save their energy for easier prey & don’t want to risk getting too injured to hunt. Herbivores don’t have anything better to do & are always ready to throw down

    • @beardiemom

      This. A carnivore has a lot of work to do to body a human, with success not being guaranteed, so why bother. A moose sees you as a threat to its way of life and is ready to fight you accordingly.

      The reason Perry is sent to stop him is because his inators DO pose a serious threat; like a machine that can affect the whole universe, one that can easily wipe memories, one that can send a beam which eradicates stuff immediately, one that can rapidly age or de-age people, etc.
      Doof just doesn't use them to the extent that they could be taken should a real threat get control

She was super lucky that she came from a family filled with allergy-sufferers, because my grandma recognized the symptoms immediately and managed to get my mom to a hospital in time. This was a few years before the invention of the epi-pen, as well, so the doctor told her if she was ever stung again, she WOULD die.

      It's definitely painful. I barely brushed up against a single tentacle and thankfully didn't get entangled like most people do, and the pain is INSTANTLY excruciating. Especially for a younger person, and if you don't know what it was, panic alone in the ocean is a recipe for death. Their tentacles can be up to 40 feet long. Most people see one pretty far away and think they're safe. Only 2 things bring immediate relief. Getting peed on or someone happening by with a moth full of snuff. The lifeguard gave me the latter, thankfully. There's actually no way to tell if you'll have the same, less severe, or more severe of a reaction if you experienced a severe allergic reaction(anaphylaxis) from a stinging insect or sea bug or any animal that uses venom and can sting. I had a severe reaction and about lost my airway because of a hornet sting when I was 16. I've been stung multiple times since and had local swelling and aching pain, but nothing like that event, thank God. I also have a friend who's dad got stung mowing grass a couple times over one summer and was fine. Untill he wasn't. They found him dead of an apparent anaphylactic reaction from a single sting on the top of his head the 3rd or 4th time that summer. He'd never had an allergic reaction in his life. This is why I don't mess with bees, wasps, hornets, spiders,, caterpillars, or anything that bites or stings. It's Russian Roulette, except the way you die is way slower and more painful. Big NOPE for me hanging around where they're around you, let alone trying to get rid of a nest or web burrows.💯

    A lady got "spurred" by a platypus here in Tasmania just the other day. Apparently she saw it in the gutter of a country road (basically a ditch dug to drain water, not a kerbside, concrete gutter) and she thought it was in need of assistance, so she picked it up to move it to safety. Seems the platypus wasn't very trusting of humans (smart), or was just in a really bad mood, as it dug that spur in deep. She also claimed that the pain was intense, is still just as bad now as it was when it happened. To her credit she held onto the beast until she got it off the road. Ixt's also said that most pain medications and anti-inflamatories are ineffective against the venoms' effect.

The flip themselves upside down when they're floating to use countershading as a form of camouflage. So the bright blue isn't likely meant as a warning, but instead meant to make it harder for any birds to see them on a backdrop of blue, with the grey side making it harder for fish looking up to see them against a backdrop of white.
