Have you ever stepped into the Museum’s Hall of Biodiversity and stood in front of the massive Spectrum of Life exhibit? Imagine the diversity of life on Earth, with some 1.7 million species known so far. Around 1,500 of these living things are gathered in this space. The 100-foot (30.5-meter)- wall is packed with organisms of all shapes and sizes, representing a wide range of bacteria, fungi, plants, and animals, from the smallest microorganisms to terrestrial and aquatic giants. But one species with an outsized impact on our planet is missing: humans! Over tens of thousands of years, Homo sapiens has transformed the continents, the oceans—even Earth’s atmosphere. Everything we do affects the fate of millions of plant, animal, and microbial species.

Learn more about biodiversity at the Museum. We're open daily from 10 am–5:30 pm! Plan your visit.

Imma be honest, at first I had NO idea that Law was 26 entire years old. I learned his official age in a comment on a Pinterest post, like, I was none the wiser.

You mean to tell me that this is a grown ass man?! ^

THIS?! ^ LIES

I admit that I can see it post time skip, especially in Punk Hazard and Zou. (He was just a twink in Dressrosa. A foolish twink.)

But THIS?!

NAW. When he showed up I guessed that he was like 18, 19, maybe 20. But 24?!?! Really?!?! I don’t have a problem with his age or anything I was just genuinely shocked!

But come on. This is not a grown ass man ^ This is a teenage dirtbag. Cue Wheezer guitar riff.

I COULDN’T HAVE BEEN THE ONLY ONE

His stoner fit fooled me! I know people complain about shipping Luffy and Law because of the age gap but like… dude, I seriously had no idea he was in his twenties 😭

I find it so amusing that this goofy emo dude is a full grown adult man. With full on medical expertise and everything. Love that for him.

Fact of the day, hands down.

shovel nosed guitar fish ?? :DD

Animal of the day: Shovelnose guitarfish!

The shovelnose guitarfish is a species of ray that lives around California. They can live up to 11 years and are around 120-137 cm long when fully grown.

They have characteristics of both rays and sharks, and were mistaken for sharks when they were initially discovered because of this. They are named guitarfish because their shape resembles that of a guitar!

They eat crabs, worms, clams, and sometimes other fish.

Have you ever seen a pink grasshopper? Though the meadow grasshopper (Chorthippus parallelus) is typically distinguished by its green and brown coloration, a genetic mutation called erythrism leaves some individuals looking pretty in pink! Erythrism is the overproduction of red pigment. While these rare insects are beautiful to look at, pink grasshoppers are hindered by their vivid coloring because it makes hiding from predators much more difficult.

the desert rain frog ( oh sorry for not clarifying, thanks :)

Animal of the Day: Desert rain frog!

The desert rain frog is a species of frog found in Namibia and South Africa. It is mostly found on a small strip of land about 10 km wide that runs along the coast of these two countries!

Unlike most other species of frogs, the desert rain frog does not have a tadpole stage. It develops straight from the egg into an adult! It has a stout body with small legs which makes it unable to hop or leap, so it gets around by walking.

They are a burrowing species, using these burrows to wait out dry periods and to sleep in during the day. They can absorb moisture from the wet sand around them through their skin!

THAT SNAIL WAS SO COOLIO!!! I HAVE NEVER SEEN SNAIL SO BIG

~kittato

Ikr?!

They're super common where I live! We call them "Weinbergschnecken" here in Germany but their scientific name is "Helix pomatia". Other common names are: The Roman snail, Burgundy snail, or escargot

They are an edible species of snails and they are a relic remainder of the Romans bringing them over to Europe for consumption, and possibly to use their slime in holistic medicine, aswell as anti-aging remedies. And now, almost 2000 years later, they thrive not just in northern Germany, but also in the UK, western Belarus and the Baltic states, the south of Finland, Sweden, Norway, Denmark, and in the Benelux!!

The snail in question, for anyone who missed the post about it:
