They’re males of two different species and the males of many beetles harmlessly wrestle in order to impress females. They aren’t really bright enough to know sometimes that there are no females around or that their opponent isn’t even their own kind anyway.
Sometimes now and the they will also just fight the female they were trying to impress in the first place like the fighting instinct forgets to switch itself off
thats amazing
thats literally like a roman warrior fighting and defeating his rival and then walking up to a star-struck woman and punching her square in the jaw im hyperventilating
It’s Meep! Meep is a bit of a celebrity in the axolotl world. She is believed to have a form of dwarfism and is not significantly overweight, although she looks it especially in this photo.
The owner is a well-known and experienced handler who has four other axolotls that are way more… axolotl shaped lol. But she is healthy, not being overfed or suffering due to poor husbandry.
i was sitting with a bunch of cis people at lunch who think i’m cis and they literally had an entire conversation on how “nowadays you can’t tell who’s transgender” while i there wearing a trans pride flag t-shirt
