Help Peruvian Palaeontologists build a New Palaeo Lab!
“Over the past 20 years, palaeontology in Peru has gained attention from the scientific and general public’s due to the large number of new species that have been discovered in the country, as well as the quantity and high standard of preservation of most specimens. Due to the establishment of the Vertebrate Palaeontology Department at the Natural History Museum of Lima, Peru's palaeontological heritage has been given a newfound appreciation.
The VertPaleo Department's small collection now contains more than 60 holotypes (meaning the type specimen which serve as the basis for describing a new species) of various vertebrates, including birds, crocodiles, pinnipeds, cetaceans, and more. Just a few of the creatures discovered in our nation include giant marine predators like Livyatan melvillei, penguins with feathers preserved like Inkayacu paracasensis, and four-legged whales like Peregocetus pacificus. Such fast growth of the collection and palaeontology in Peru has been fruitful, yet overwhelming.
Due to the limited space available for the fossil collection, we were forced to relocate our preparation lab to a temporary location that lacked most of the necessary infrastructure. This is the reason why we need your assistance! To enable us to carry out our ongoing research projects, we must construct and equip a new preparation lab.”

Alrighty and HERE ARE OUR CONTENDERS!!!
Tag for the polls: #bird battle
DISCLAIMER - I wrote the round one blurbs when I was very sick and half awake, so if you see any mistakes PLEASE TELL ME! Nicely, obviously, but I want to make sure they sound good for round 2. Thank you!

I know there’s a lot of them, but man there’s SO MANY GOOD BIRDS! There were a few times where people didn’t put what specific subspecies for some birds, so sometimes I’d have to choose one. I tried to choose one that represents that bird the best!
I don’t know when the polls will begin, I’m doing some research on the birds so that people can read about them before they vote.
If one of your favs didn’t make it in, don’t worry they’re a winner in my and your heart.
If you are wondering where the Pigeon (Rock Dove) is, THEY ARE THE FINAL CHAMPION! At the end of this bracket, the winner will face off against the mightily popular Rock Dove! Will they be able to beat such a tough challenger? We will see…
Also, a note on how I set this bracket up: I put all the birds in a numbered list and then used a number generator. I think the matchups we got were really interesting.

For the fanfic director’s cut: ⭐️⭐️⭐️
I was going to respond seriously to this, but when I went to find the appropriate googledoc, the googledoc I had open already was "Penguins (A Divine Quest, Probably)", the planning doc for the D&D 5e campaign I ideated by never ran (yet). The premise is: all players are penguins in a post-apocalyptic world in which nuclear radiation a) returned magic to the world and b) made penguins sentient and gave them mild tactile telekinesis, ie, the ability to manipulate (moderately lightweight) objects with their mind while physically touching them (to avoid issues like 'no thumbs' and 'average penguin is about 3ft tall and minimal strength'.)
So I'll share my list of species correlations instead, including reasoning:
Great Penguins
Emperor - BIG BOYS (36-37kg), no nests - Goliath
King - lorge (15ish kg), chicks grow slowly, yellow feather “crown”, deep divers, common - Minotaur 
Brush-Tailed Penguins
Adelie- medium (5ish kg), particularly cold-resistant, line nests with stones, common - Elf
Chinstrap - 5ish kg, pretty (says this site), nest on slopes, common - Half-elf
Gentoo - standardish penguins? 5+a bit kg, Antarctic continent + islands, like crab, common - Human
Little Penguins
Little - SMOLEST CHILDES (1ish kg), nocturnal, common - Svartniblin 
Fairy - ditto smol and habitat?? - Gnome  
Banded Penguins
Galapagos - smol! (2ish kg), equatorial (very good in heat) - Halfling
African - 3ish kg, burrow much, used to warmer (African) weather - Dwarrow-Dwarf
Humboldt - 5-a bit kg, burrow some, occupy cold Peruvian current but hot (desert/Mediterranean) breeding site. Fucked by El Nino some years - Mountain Dwarf
Magellanic - 5-a bit kg, burrow breeders, ~ African but South American - Hill Dwarf
Large Divers
Yellow-eyed - 5.5ish kg, maybe rarest penguin, nest in plants - Aasimar 
[EXTINCT] Waitaha
Crested Penguins
Rockhopper (Southern, Eastern, Northern) - 2.5ish kg, red eyes, tiny but fierce - Goblin 
Snares - 3ish kg, endemic to Snares Islands, kill forest with guano quantity, yellow eyebrows - Hobgoblin 
Fiordland - 4ish kg, endemic to New Zealand rainforests - Half-orc 
Macaroni - 5+a bit kg, don’t Land much when not breeding, weird orange hair - Kobold
Erect-crested - 5ish kg, tall crests (~horns!) - Tiefling
Royal - 5+a bit kg, related to Macaroni probably (yellow hair), nest in open. Standardish - Dragonborn 
[EXTINCT] Chatham
Humans = giants, 1 enclave per type
Other birds (terns, mostly? not albatross? Must really live there) arakockra
Genasi may be done as a half-heritage thing, ie, half genasi, half established race

Lima, Peru
Humboldt penguins (Spheniscus humboldti) freshly cleaned by specialists after an oil spill. The spill, described as an ‘ecological disaster’ by the Peruvian government, happened when a tanker was unloading oil at a refinery owned by Spanish company Repsol. It polluted beaches, killed wildlife and robbed fishermen of their livelihood.

((It's challenging to think of where/when he might smile that way. But I had this headcanon about the Nansuka village [also known as Whazzap/Nanzca] having llamas and alpacas since the location was based largely on Peruvian ruins such as Machu Picchu and the Nazca Lines. ~On that note!~ Most of Peru's coast is also inhabited by Humboldt penguins. ᕙ(^▿^-ᕙ) Imagine a country where penguins ancient ruins, cocoa, and alpacas all have their place.))
((On this blog: After the final battle with Ra Mu, Burai went to the Nansuka ruins, as they reminded him most of home; of Mu. A tenacious elderly farmer in a purple Poncho [known as Welamu] ensured his recovery. While the lone Murian pursues a nomadic lifestyle, he frequently returns to observe the village. He doesn't often let down his stoic front; but in truth, he's attached to the place.))
((There's something about being around friendly fluffy alpacas that helps melt away your problems. (╥‿‿╥) speaking from experience.))

Guatemala Days 2-3
Phew I’m tired
Yesterday I left Antigua with OX Expeditions to go hike Pacaya Volcano, one of several active volcanoes around Antigua.
Yesterday we drove up to the trailhead and hiked about 3K to the base camp. I was completely unprepared for how much the elevation was going to affect me and how out of shape I am.
After hiking probably less than 500 ft I was completely winded. We were also carrying big backpacks with all our equipment in it which I thought was the issue, but even after someone helped me with my backpack I still could barely walk.
You’d think I would’ve learned this after Peru, but altitude sickness really is no joke.
I ended up paying one of the guides to carry my backpack the rest of the way up to camp because I didn’t think I could make it.
When we finally made it to camp, we were engulfed by clouds. It was very weird. We camped there for the night.
At 3:45 this morning we woke up and began our climb to the volcano summit. From sea level to the base camp it was an elevation gain of more or less 2,000 feet. The summit of the volcano was a little over 8,000 ft., to give you an idea of how intense a climb it was.
We didn’t have to carry any gear at least, but it was still definitely one of the most physically difficult things I’ve ever done in my life. We hiked for about 2.5 hours through sharp, unstable, volcanic rocks and deep volcanic ash that was like walking through sand or snow. And it was straight up.
The rest of the people in the group were very physically fit (2 personal trainers from Florida and a family of hikers from Denmark) so I lagged pretty significantly behind everyone else. I had to stop and catch my breath probably every 2-3 steps and my legs felt like they were made of cement.
One of our guides, Willie, was so extremely patient with me and climbed behind me the entire time and caught me a few times when I started slipping. There were also multiple occasions where he literally dragged me up a particularly steep section.
I was almost 40 minutes slower than everyone else but I made it up to the top!
At the top we watched the sunrise and looked into the volcanic crater. There were no lava flows today but there was sulfur and steam everywhere and the ground was steaming hot. It was really really amazing.
We were also very lucky with the weather because frequently there are so many clouds you can barely see a few feet in front of you but we were able to see for miles.
The summit was very windy so we climbed down a little ways and had breakfast, then began our descent. It took us about 2 hours to get back to the trailhead and it was so much easier than going up. The only hard part was trying to slide down through steep ash and sharp rocks without falling completely down the volcano.
It was definitely more of a 2.5 hour controlled fall than a hike. Like those penguins that slide down glaciers or something.
When we got back to Antigua it was only 10am but I’d been up for 7 hours already and was so tired. I had some food and konked out for the rest of the day.
I think I’m either dehydrated or have some lingering altitude sickness from the sudden changes in elevation, my hands have been numb and tingling all day. When we were in Peru the altitude was more than twice this but we had trained for months by hiking a lot and we gave ourselves a week to adjust to the altitude before attempting any hiking. Also Peruvians have coca leaves which are an amazing natural remedy for altitude sickness.
I was totally unprepared for the altitude here, so I think that’s why it’s affecting me so much.
That’s what I get for only planning this trip a few weeks ago, but that’s all part of the adventure I guess.
The next two days I’ll spend exploring Antigua some more. It’s a lovely little city, very typical Spanish colonial. Emily will be flying down in a few days to spend a week or so with me before I continue the rest of this trip solo.
Hasta luego,

Penguin Awareness Day
Penguin Awareness Day is celebrated on January 20 of every year. Penguins are a group of aquatic and flightless birds. They live in Southern Hemisphere and a particular species of the Penguin named Galapagos Penguin if found only in the north equator region called Temperate Zone. The Penguins are counter-shaded dark and white plumage. Their Wings are evolved into flippers, and they live in water areas only. Most of the penguins will feed krill, squid, fish and some forms of sea life creatures that caught while swimming under the water. The life of Penguins may be divided into two portions. They spend half of their lives in land and another half in the ocean. The Penguin Awareness Day was initiated to bring more focus to the conservation of Penguin Habitats.
“Our babies are like penguins; penguin babies can’t exist unless more than one person is taking care of them. They just can’t keep going.” – Alison Gopnik
History of Penguin Awareness Day
The exact origin and the founder of Penguin Awareness Day are still unknown. The term Penguin first published in the 16th century as a synonym for Great Auk. There is a debate about the etymology of the name “Penguin”. The source of the word is from the English or Dutch. The alternative etymology relates the word to Latin Word “Pinguis” which refers Fat or Oil. Penguins are divided into three categories named Brush-Tail, Crested and King or Emperor. Nearly 17 species of Penguins comes under those three categories. The majority of Penguins are found in Australia, NewZealand, Antartica, SouthAfrica and Galapagos Island (Temperate Climate). The smallest penguin is Little Blue Penguin which is off 16 Inches tall and 2.2 lbs of weight. The Largest Penguin in the world is Emperor which is off 3.7 feet tall and 75 pounds of weight. There is believe that some of the old penguins grew up to the size of human beings.
There is the fact that the white and black coloured penguins are Camouflage. It helps them to hide from underwater predators. Normally Penguins are good at diving and Swimming. Even though they are part of the Bird Family, they can’t fly. To move quickly in underwater, they use their wings as flippers. Penguins have excellent vision in water and thus by they avoid them from Predators. At a time, they can remain in underwater for nearly 15-20minutes and capable of swimming 12 miles per hour. The Penguins seem to be having no fear of human beings, and they are Friendly with peoples.
How to celebrate Penguin Awareness Day
Celebrating the Penguin Awareness Day is quite easy. Learn more about those birds and their habitats. If your local zoo has penguins, just visit the zoo with your friends, family members and spend some time observing more facts about Penguins.
