I’ve only been abroad one time, and there were little gecko/lizard things everywhere, climbing up walls and scurrying across roads, and nobody cared. I was constantly fascinated but to the locals they’re just kinda there.
Bonus question to anyone who visited the UK - was there anything that fascinated you but I’d be taking for granted?
Pic unrelated.
I’m lucky enough that I see these little guys on a regular basis.
The first time I went to London, the size of the Ravens caught me off guard. I couldn’t get enough of seeing those things. We only really see Grackles in South Texas that regularly and they’re half the size, so I’m sure I was the weird bird guy that day to many people.
I’ve eaten armadillo (yes, it tastes like chicken). This was before I found out they can apparently spread leprosy to humans.
same, but I already knew
Grackles being half the size is a bit of an understate, a common grackle tops out at about 5 oz & 13" with a wingspan up to 18". A raven’s common size, on the larger end, is 4½ lbs & 28" with a 60" wingspan.
Absolutely. Grackles are like my hard wired “default bird size”, so when I saw what looked like a grackle the size of a dog, it short circuited the more logical, in charge of measuring things parts of my brain.
I want to hug it. Would it be wise to hug it? I don’t care I still want to hug it.
Does he have a tail or am I seeing the armadillo’s dick there?
