🚨NUEVO HILO🚨

Las telarañas 🕸️ se cuentan entre los mecanismos de captura más eficaces y sorprendentes del reino animal. En ellas, invertebrados y pequeños vertebrados hallan la muerte entre sus pegajosos hilos.

Pero, ¿cómo consiguen las arañas no quedar atrapadas en su propia trampa?

A male Barrow's Goldeneye swimming. The water is golden-colored and has an interesting warped geometric texture with a few splashes of blue because it's reflecting a building that was, in turn, reflecting the lowering afternoon sun.

This is a white duck with a black back and black head. Six white spots break up the solid black of his back, while the black of his head is interrupted by his bright yellow eye and a teardrop-shaped patch of white just behind his black bill.

This is a white duck with a black back and black head. Six white spots break up the solid black of his back, while the black of his head is interrupted by his bright yellow eye and a teardrop-shaped patch of white just behind his black bill.

I cannot get over that water tbh. And this ludicrously operatic duck.
