I like it. We used to get those wingless bees in Nevada. We called them bumble ants after the bumble bees.

Are they bees or ants? I kept reading velvet ants, so I assumed they were from that family.

Late night, cheese induced nightmares.. The tufted deer looks like it should be the vampire deer. It has a very knowing smile like the next target is within dight.

Had a feeling the tufted deer would get a lot of attention.

Fun post. I’ve always been interested in animals, and pride myself on knowing many that other people don’t, but al these are new to me.
I wonder why that deer has such huge teeth? After all, they’re herbivores–aren’t they?

Tufted deer don’t have antlers. Instead, the males grow these fangs.

There are different kinds too. Thinking of doing a tenrec only post down the road.

Nature is so weird but awesome. Tenrecs are really cool because there so many wildly different kinds all that resemble other species because of convergent evolution.

Very true. Maybe I’ll do a tenrec post down the road.
