somebody save me from bad TV biology

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.

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)

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

THAT’S NOT HOW BLOOD WORKS

YOU ABSOLUTELY CANNOT GET THAT INFORMATION FROM BLOOD

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

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.

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.

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

you dense motherfucker

those are fucking rubber speckled trout from the prop department, they don’t even begin to look like the fish you’re describing.

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

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?
