Terracotta statuette of a dog with upright, pricked ears and a fluffy upright tail. He has an oval object - supposedly meat - in his mouth, painted red. Black pigment can still be seen on his ears and the tip of his tail, in addition to some traces of red on his coat.

Every dog owner: ‘What’s that in your mouth?? Omigod, drop it, drop it!’ 😱

This Greek (Boeotian) terracotta dog appears to have a red piece of, um, meat in its mouth. I’m sure he earned it (‘Hey, that dead guy over there wasn’t using this.’)

Did you know that snails have teeth 😂 I didn't

nails have teeth. Between 1,000 and 12,000 teeth, to be precise. They aren’t like ours, though, so don’t be thinking about snails with ridiculous toothy grins. You’ll find the snail's tiny 'teeth' all over its file-like tongue.

Have i been watching the Dutch fish camera and gotten excited at the sight of something that I thought was a fish and then disappointment it was just a stick? Yes, but also Captain America The First Avenger came out in 2011 and the Avengers came out in 2012 and that was 14 years ago.

Elements from Egyptian and Greek mythology are combined in this delicate figure. The view taken here is that Anubis is represented, wearing military costume and breastplate that signify his role as a fighter against the enemies of Osiris. He holds a staff topped by a cone-shaped object - the thyrsus carried by followers of Dionysus with whom the Greeks equated Osiris. In his other hand he carries a falcon. On the other hand, the snout and ears appear short for Anubis and more like those of a cat, and the short dress can be worn by Artemis who is associated with Bastet. The identity of the figure is, therefore, not certain. Roman, from Egypt, 2nd-3rd century CE. Height: 1 15/16 in. (4.9 cm) Met Museum, New York (67.190)

This l’il fella is a gold amulet from Roman Egypt, possibly representing the Egyptian god Anubis as a defender of Osiris-Dionysus. He wears a military tunic and breastplate, signifying him as a defender of Osiris; he also holds a thyrsus of Dionysus, equated with Osiris. 🏺 1/

These geese mugs have been very popular. I used up different backgrounds of each of the mugs and got a bit carried away with the designs. #pottery #ceramics #handmade #madeincanada

What kind of fish do penguins catch at night? Starfish.

I heard a Pileated Woodpecker hammering away but wasn't able to locate him at first. I spotted him when he leaned to the side; he was directly on the other side of the tree.

An intricate octopus cut from a single piece of paper

Japanese artist Masayo Fukuda hand-cut this life-sized octopus from one sheet of paper. Known as Kirie in Japanese (translated as “cut picture”), the art form involves cutting intricate forms from a single sheet of white paper and then contrasting it against a black background to reveal the design.
