I am a deaf and queer man who loves zoology, paleontology, and mythology. My hobbies include archery, art, birdwatching and photography. I aim to study wildlife. Wildlife fanatic by day, eldritch forest being by night. I live to educate. 19.

A large, blonde-tan canid lumbers over grass dotted with autumn leaves in mid-November. He appears to be big even by eastern coyote standards. His ears, muzzle, and forehead are black. To me, this suggests the photographer might be correct about domestic dog DNA in this animal's immediate ancestryβor wolf.

"...another urban 'doggie'....can see where the term 'coy dog' may have come from...."
Collage of images of a red and black gynandromorph ant, neatly split down the middle head to gaster; male side (black) has one wing, female (red) side has none. Caption reads: "July 4th is a perfect time to get lost in Florida scrubland. On the side of a clearing, I noticed a wasp-like insect flying strangely. I immediately posted photos online and provided the ID: a bilateral gy- nandromorph of the long-horned Amazon ant (Polyergus longicornis): half male alate (black side), half female worker-an intersex insect! Caption and images by Daniel Roueche [with help from @humanbyweight.bsky.social]"

I'm gonna keep it real with y'all the only reason I haven't updated the thread in a bit is because I'm still working on the rough draft on leucism. I know what it is and all that, and how to explain it, I just need to find the right words so it dosent come off confusing π

Erythrism or erythrochroism refers to an unusual overabundance of reddish pigmentation in an animal's fur, skin, feathers, or even eggs! Individuals with the condition are commonly refered to as "golden" or "strawberry" animals. They become more reddish or roufous in appearance.
