Weird and Awesome Skulls!

[madsciences]

I figured we need a masterpost of some of the best weird, cool skulls out there for all the bone collectors. So here are some of my favorites:

Giant Anteaters and their tube faces

Echidnas

Armadillo Lizard (aka smol dragon)

Platypus (still ridiculous even in death)

Toucans! Once again birds taking the cake in weirdness

Black Rayed Softshell Turtles (and several other softshells they’re all cute)

Tapirs

And elephants, for that matter. All animals with trunks, really.

Hyenas! Lookit those chompers

Narwhals!

Hippos

Hornbills

Parrotfish! (This skull was prepped by http://skullandbone.tumblr.com/)

And the Pacu! (from flickr, here https://www.flickr.com/photos/32499494@N05/)

That’s all I have time for but I might do another one of these later!

For those who remember my old unofficial soundtrack for The Fall, here is a little bonus track! With no sound effects in the way! Just sweet orchestra goodness (you can even hear the musicians breathing!). This is pulled from about an hour into the film, from the bottom two tracks of the 5.1 surround sound audio on my BluRay copy of the film.

When Mrs. Norris is temporarily paralyzed after indirectly seeing the basilisk in Chamber Of Secrets and Filch at first believes she’s been killed, he breaks down into violent sobs. That is not how a grown man, particularly one as usually heartless as Filch, reacts to a dead cat. Once he finds out she’s only been petrified, he still viciously attacks Harry, who he believes to be responsible. No one outside of a Cathy comic has ever loved a cat more than Argus Filch.

But it actually gets weirder. To say that Mrs. Norris is an exceptionally smart cat would be like saying Superman is an exceptionally strong dude. Filch and Mrs. Norris often work as a team, patrolling different areas of the castle for misbehaving students. Getting caught by Mrs. Norris is as bad as getting caught by Filch, because she will fetch him straight away. This means that Mrs. Norris has memorized the school’s rules, understands them, and recognizes when a student is breaking them. In the first book, Hagrid tells Harry and Ron that he suspects Filch has trained Mrs. Norris to follow him specifically. You’ll recognize all of these as things cats can’t do. (It’s been theorized that Mrs. Norris might be part Kneazle, a cat-like magical creature with superfeline intelligence, but Rowling has shot it down.) She also shows up on the Marauder’s Map, while other animals don’t. It’s almost like she’s a person in the body of a cat in a magical universe where that exact thing can definitely happen.

The Untold Story Behind The Hogwarts Cat

Yeah but when I saw the top of this image I was all “Why don’t I remember Walder Frey having a cat?”

Animal friendships are both weird and amazing at the same time. We all know that opposites attract, and when it comes to interspecies friendships, we must admit, it’s pretty awesome. Even more so when animals which normally interact as prey and predator, become best buds

Normally, you would think that a cat and an owl would have a pretty clear relationship: they either do not interact, or once in while, the cat tries to catch the owl and have it for dinner. Weeeeell… think again, cause here’s Fum the cat and his unusual best friend, Gebra, the barn owl, proving us wrong.

Gebra’s owner is astonished of the relationship between the two. Everytime Gebra flies in or takes off, Fum is right there waiting and greeting the owl with a jump worthy of Cirque Du Soleil. And it’s clearly obvious that the boss in this relationship is the owl… whenever Fum gets overly excited, Gebra gives him a peck on the head just to remind him to keep calm.
