#inktober2020, Day 31, Crawl Imagine you had to go to a place you'd visited just once, but without any directions or even a map. From thousands of miles away. You might end the journey before it even started. But the 'Olive Ridley #turtle' is not discouraged🧵 #migration #SciArt
#inktober2020, Day 30, Ominous The Short horned #lizard roams the dry desert, sucking up ants with its tongue, unaware of the impending danger. A coyote has been stalking it, drooling at the mouth. It jumps at the lizard, about to snatch it up, but is met with a stream of blood🧵
#inktober2020, Day 29, Shoes The #Galápagos is a haven for #wildlife enthusiasts! This island houses some of the most unique animals and plants, most found nowhere else in the world. Among these is the clumsy on land, graceful in water, 'Blue footed booby' #bird 🧵 #scicomm
#inktober2020, Day 28, Float Migratory #birds fly thousands of miles, floating over land and vast oceans, to reach their destination. Birds which can swim take short breaks in the water. But some, like the Great Frigatebird, can't swim. So how does it persevere? 🧵 #BirdTwitter
#inktober2020, Day 27, Music If you thought only humans can use the melodious strumming of a guitar to impress someone, think again! Tree #crickets cut holes in leaves to use them as megaphones, amplify their calls and increase their chances of finding a mate! 🧵 #scicomm
#inktober2020, Day 26, Hide Animals have fascinating adaptations for survival. Some like #cuttlefish and #chameleons change colour at will, and others like #moths and #butterflies have evolved wing patterns to merge with their surroundings. Can you spot the moth in this photo? 🧵
#inktober2020, Day 25, Buddy When you think of a giant, hairy #tarantula, you'd imagine it being friends with other giant, hairy tarantulas, and not a tiny, slippery #Frog. But these are the unusual relationships you find when you go exploring the wild🧵 @bliscsciart #wildlifeart
#inktober2020, Day 24, Dig With a face as cute as a button, and a furry, bushy tail At the first sign of danger, I warn the others with a wail. I dig elaborate burrows, to sleep, to hide, to hog, I am a mighty rodent, but they call me 'black tailed prairie dog'🧵 #scicomm #SciArt
#inktober2020, Day 23, Rip Animals live to eat and mate. When the clock strikes, they will literally do anything to pass on their genes. Including ripping apart parts of their body. This is the story of Nautilus, a male Argonaut #octopus, and his dance with death.🧵 @bliscsciart
#inktober2020, Day 22, Chef If you're walking through a forest and see a macabre scene of #birds, small animals and #insects impaled on skewers, baking in the sun, don't panic and run. Instead, look for the small #passerine #Shrike bird, 'coz you're standing in its kitchen.🧵
#inktober2020, Day 21, Sleep As a kid, I'd go out to play and compete with my pals. Who could swing the highest, run the fastest, hang upside down on bars the longest? The last one got painful quickly. How do #bats do it then? Not just for short times, but to sleep for 20 HOURS🧵
#inktober2020, Day 20, Coral #Corals are marine animals which grow to form massive structures called #CoralReefs, home to numerous sea creatures. The most biodiverse and lively nexus of coral reefs is the 'Coral Triangle' of southeast Asia. And it's in danger!🧵 #ClimateCrisis
#inktober2020, Day 19, Dizzy Day18 was about finding food. Today's about 'not being food'. I'm not talking about running from lions, but keeping tiny, but pesky little, disease causing #flies away. And #zebras have evolved stripes to do just that!🧵 @bliscsciart @SciArtInitiativ
#inktober2020, Day 17, Storm What's a storm? A disturbance in the atmosphere, a rush of feelings, a tumultuous reaction or a sweeping phenomenon. Given the right context, all these are valid interpretations. I'd like to add one of my own. A 'hunting storm'.🧵 #scicomm #Dolphins
#inktober2020 Day 15, Outpost 550 million years ago, there existed a supercontinent on earth called #Gondwana. Due to the gradual shifting of land masses, the different continents we know today were formed. #Australia drifted apart 40 mya and remained isolated for a long time. 🧵
#inktober2020 Day 14, Armour People know #crabs to be these soft, squishy creatures with hard, protective shells. But not all crabs have armours. #HermitCrabs, known for their beautiful and varied shells, actually don't grow the shells themselves. So,what's their deal?🧵 #SciArt
#inktober2020 Day 13, Dune #Camels, both one and two humped, can go days in the scorching #desert heat without water. But it's a #myth that they survive by storing water in their humps. So how exactly do they walk miles without sustenance? 🧵 #scicomm #zentangle @bliscsciart
#inktober2020 Day 12, Slippery Classic examples of a slimy, slippery plant, animal and human. #planttwitter #MarineBiology #sciartink @bliscsciart 1/2
#inktober2020 Day 7, prompt 'fancy' Fungi appear in diverse, eye catching forms. The 'bamboo #mushroom' is one such fungus, with a very Victorian fruiting body. A net skirt emerges from a cap containing spores, almost as if the mushroom were going to a ball🍄 #SciArt @bliscsciart
#inktober2020 Day 6, prompt '#rodent' In 2013, two climbers atop Mt #Llullaillaco, at ~6800m, with freezing temperatures and plummeting oxygen levels, saw an animal that shouldn't be able to survive there. Not a yak, or an ibex, but a tiny yellow rumped leaf eared mouse. 1/3
#inktober2020 Day 5, prompt 'blade' @bliscsciart #Mentalhealth #Anxiety I look around and all I see are things that make me anxious I want to rise above, move past the obstacles, not let it get to me I try, I can't, try harder, I fail, I just can't seem to focus 1/2
