angry camel
I am the only camel in New Zealand.
I mostly want to live in a forest and cover myself in tattoos. Also I like cricket a bit.

#about half an hour to the intercity stop#which i think runs once a day up and down the coast#for anything actually frequent and useful it would be many days walk across a massive mountain range to my least favourite city

found out last night about the cricket player Don Bradman, whose batting average of 99.94% is “the greatest achievement by any sportsman in any major sport”, nearly a full 40 points above the second best player. Apparently they had to invent a whole new type of defense to try and deal with this dude.
I have no idea how cricket works but it’s hilarious that the best sportsman who ever lived chose to play British baseball of all things.
#hey ro didn't we suggest years ago that bradman was the spiders georg of cricket#his middle name is even george#the idea of an average being a percentage is kind of hilarious to me tho#and that 'whole new type of defense' worked really well#his average for that series was only like 10 more than anyone elses not 40

Created by Murray Ball for his comic strip series, ‘Footrot Flats,’ the sheepdog simply known as Dog was born on October 13th 1978 in a dirty clothes box at Aunt Dolly’s holiday home for cats in Tauranga.
Dog now spends his days on the farm and can be found with his best friend, Wallace (Wal’) Footrot, and a cast of friends and foes, in over 1000 strips, a stage play adaptation, an animated feature, and a life sized statue.
All rights to Dog is reserved by Manatu Taonga, the Ministry for Culture and Heritage.

Look at these amazingly detailed moths by Clemens Söllner, made with inlays of different kinds of wood! Aaaaahhhh! I just love the way the woodgrain textures flow, and it's clear how much love and care went into depicting these beautiful creatures so intricately!
Top moth is Ochropleura plecta, middle is Actinotia polyodon, and bottom is Ceramica pisi.

Tuatara (Sphenodon punctatus), family Sphenodontidae, New Zealand
There were once 2 recognized species of Tuatara, but now they are considered to be just one species.
This is not a lizard.
The only member of the reptile group Rhynchocephalia still around. All other species went extinct millions of years ago.
Tuataras were eradicated by humans and introduced species from the main islands of New Zealand, and now only occur on small islands near the North Island and far north of the South Island.
This is one of my very favorite animals.

#nah there's a whole bunch of them in zealandia these days#pretty certain i saw more than 10 last time i was there

Ugh I'd forgotten just how fucking miserable and exhausting it is to be on crutches
#i didn't even do much today but i'm fucking wiped out#i watched some cricket then went to the supermarket for a small shop#and that was too much

I think more people (me) should stop using Ravens and other corvids to act as omen's of death when doing a symbolism and start using Pīwakawaka as omens of the death instead.
You may not like it, but this is what peak death omen looks like.
#legit one of these guys flew into my factory the morning after my nana died#one theory is that it's the dead person come to say goodbye which is a nice thought

Watching a replay now, and it hasn't got any less silly.
The funniest bit was when he punched the air to celebrate hobbling through for a single to keep the strike
Glenn Maxwell is just the silliest
#he did ALL THAT while barely able to walk?!?!??!#the guy is ridiculous#and he did a lot of it batting without a hat or a helmet which always makes me happy#it was also funny keeping track of how many more they needed while knowing how many more pat cummins got#like they need 120 more? cummins gets 4 of them#they need 55 more? cummins gets 1 of them

not sure why people are saying this cricket world cup match was an upset, it was south africa playing a rain affected match in a world cup, that traditionally never goes well for them
