That last post of yours about how to find lots of bones is really great ! Makes me wonder though, do you ever find recently deceased animals ? they are most of what i've personally found, and i currently have three decomposing in my garden. Just curious if you come across any yourself!

Oh, all the time!

Some people are skeptical that I would find so many clean bones. But selection bias affects everyone’s social media (and mainstream media), no matter how you try to keep things accurate.

I don’t post things that I don’t think are interesting, nor things I think would upset/scare people away (unless it’s REALLY interesting and has enough warnings) and I don’t want to get banned from social media either. I don’t want to give the impression that bone hunting is so simple you can find 15 clean skulls in 51 seconds (usually) but I cull out the naughty stuff, keeping the clean pretty stuff.

So yes, I find lots of gross smelly fleshy carcasses! Spilled organs and blood and certain body parts we don’t like to see! But I cannot post them.

The similarities between inline skates and hockey skates, as well as roller skates and figure skates, suggest convergent evolution as they occupy similar niches in their respective habitats. 

Biology evolution Skates roller skating ice skating inline skating I made this because people keep saying I do roller blading and derby TBH I appreciate the attention so I don't always correct people but I do neither of those things I just roller skate and occasionally ice skating so here is your guide Pls give me your feedback as to these species names I have the file in PSD so I can edit it easily
