melanosuchus niger, the only extant melanosuchus species, does not live in florida

This show is set in Florida. How can you be a herpetologist in Florida and NOT know an alligator tooth on sight? Answer: you can’t and this is the worst herpetologist in Florida.

image
image

what the shit dude, the last word out of your mouth was a genus

and if you can’t get the phylum from a tooth, we are going to have a problem. (hint fucking hint: only one phylum has teeth)

image
image

HOW WOULD YOU KNOW YOU CAN’T EVEN IDENTIFY THE PHYLUM IT’S FROM

image
image

THAT’S NOT HOW BLOOD WORKS

YOU ABSOLUTELY CANNOT GET THAT INFORMATION FROM BLOOD

image

neither alligators nor caimans have color-based sexual dimorphism 

also the caiman thing turned out to be a plot point, sort of- and then this happened

image

if that animal is a caiman, it’s an invasive species and if you were half the biologist this show pretends you are, you’d know that.

image

Caiman latirostris and Melanosuchus niger aren’t synonyms. They don’t even have an overlapping range. Pick an animal this isn’t and stick with it.

image

NO. STOP. STOP TRYING TO GIVE US SCIENCE FACTS ABOUT ALLIGATORS.

you dense motherfucker

ok that first episode was a train wreck, what’s the next one about?

image

oh fuck. 

What is this horrifying show?

@biologyweeps You should see this

You’re gonna laugh hedge, I’ve seen this exact episode on TV, facepalming the entire time the ‘science’ happened. Like, it was watch-a-car-crash levels of watching this.

The series is The Glades btw. 

@poorpoorpitifulme can we watch this next time im over so i can hear you rage scream the whole way through?

The season 7 (early edition) hype train rolls on as I continue to check off more and more of my headcanons and nonsense writing this is the best season ever.

Scripting is weird. I could stare blankly at Panel 1 for days or even weeks and wonder what kind of dialog should be put here and what angles I should switch to later and get jackshit out of it.

Only to be suddenly inspired at the last possible moment, have everything come together and finally be able to move on in the last 10 minutes.

i’m having an existential crisis

I am so sorry, but this is actually probably true. Plants co evolved to reward us for cultivating and propagating them. It’s called exorphin theory, and plants are pretty much just using us as their means of reproduction. That’s why humans show nearly every sign of species domestication. Have a good night, friend.

Trees are superior and I completely accept this.

I, for one, welcome our arboreal overlords.

are you behind this you sick fuck

I wanna try to test the theories introduced by that post going around, where posts with outgoing links are hidden from Tumblr search.

But Tumblr post search is such a useless piece of garbage, I don’t think it’s worth it.
