ITT: Share the last interesting animal trivia that you just learned recently. I just found that when moose(and all cervids by default) lack testosterone due to castration or hormonal imbalance they grow lumpy deformed antlers that never shed.
My cat's breath smells like cat food.
>>5153229not recent, but reminds me of the fact that similarly testosterone deficient lions actually lose their manes, which is a mildly funny inverse to humans where we lose hair because of high testosterone (well, high follicular sensitivity to DHT, but still)
>>5153237and female lion having hormone imbalance grows mane.
>>5153350>>5153237You think if we capture and castrate deposed male lion they'll let them back into the pride so they don't die of starvation until they're older?
>>5153350So they're just like me growing a beard out of nowhere huh. Fun to know it's similar.
Sea urchins significantly contribute to erosion of the rocks they dwell on, both from scraping at thin algae covers with their hard teeth and from their spines scratching their surroundings. In particularly soft/brittle rock formations like limestone, they often inhabit self-made holes.
