the lungless frog is turning into a worm (with the breathing through the skin)! how efficient! It looks like the most slime-y thing you could ever touch so naturally I want to touch it. And yeah, the orchid rules but it isn't really an animal :/

― peacocks, Thursday, 22 April 2010 18:59 (fifteen years ago)

The orchid kind of isn't an animal, goole!

― HI DERE, Thursday, 22 April 2010 19:00 (fifteen years ago)

lol that was a total xpost, I should have read to the end of peacock's post

― HI DERE, Thursday, 22 April 2010 19:01 (fifteen years ago)

― لوووووووووووووووووووول (lex pretend), Thursday, 22 April 2010 19:03 (fifteen years ago)

wait are you guys saying an orchid is not an animal

― goole, Thursday, 22 April 2010 19:03 (fifteen years ago)

That ant is scary!

― Darin, Thursday, 22 April 2010 19:12 (fifteen years ago)

― HI DERE, Thursday, 22 April 2010 19:14 (fifteen years ago)

― HOT DISH THYME MACHINE (jjjusten), Thursday, 22 April 2010 19:16 (fifteen years ago)

so sorry that that flower ate yr face

― HI DERE, Thursday, 22 April 2010 19:17 (fifteen years ago)

i understand the exclusion of the orchid from the list because the rest of these are all marsupials, but i really would like to nail this down

― HOT DISH THYME MACHINE (jjjusten), Thursday, 22 April 2010 19:17 (fifteen years ago)

orchid is the type of animal most commonly know as a "flower, which is totally not an animal, also fuck you very much for the nightmares of giant marsupial stick insects I will be having tonight"

― HI DERE, Thursday, 22 April 2010 19:19 (fifteen years ago)

they carry their tiny stick young in a pouch in their stomach, often hundreds of them at a time, did you know that?

― HOT DISH THYME MACHINE (jjjusten), Thursday, 22 April 2010 19:21 (fifteen years ago)

its fun to learn

― HOT DISH THYME MACHINE (jjjusten), Thursday, 22 April 2010 19:21 (fifteen years ago)

Stick insect FTW

― Elvis Telecom, Thursday, 22 April 2010 19:26 (fifteen years ago)

Was torn between the flame snake, the lungless frog and the hairy ant, and in the end voted for the frog: something about its eyes, flat head and hands (+ the lunglessness).

many say that the sound of the hundreds of tiny stick babies suckling at their mothers many teats is like the rustling of the wind through the trees

― HOT DISH THYME MACHINE (jjjusten), Thursday, 22 April 2010 19:33 (fifteen years ago)

thx for ruining wind

― HI DERE, Thursday, April 22, 2010 7:31 PM (3 minutes ago)

nice one silly! everyone knows that giant stick insects only mate within the bodies of their hosts. so unless you have a porthole in your stomach, i doubt youve ever seen them do what you so childishly call humping.

― HOT DISH THYME MACHINE (jjjusten), Thursday, 22 April 2010 19:36 (fifteen years ago)

like literally, I am hating you with the fury of a thousand naked F4rr4hs

― Q: What's brown and Sticky? A: The insect that lives in your stomach (jjjusten), Thursday, 22 April 2010 19:51 (fifteen years ago)

it was The Vines (in yr lower intestinal tract)

― HI DERE, Thursday, 22 April 2010 19:54 (fifteen years ago)

i think we're right on the edge of summoning some really disappointed slashfic googlers right here.

― Q: What's brown and Sticky? A: The insect that lives in your stomach (jjjusten), Thursday, 22 April 2010 19:58 (fifteen years ago)

That slug has a beautiful color scheme.

― kissogram powers (Abbott), Thursday, 22 April 2010 20:47 (fifteen years ago)

stick insect looks like it could receive some serious ham radio transmissions

― Felice deKraken (brownie), Thursday, 22 April 2010 21:15 (fifteen years ago)

flying frog and stick insect both pretty cuet in those pix tbh

― all yoga attacks are fire based (rogermexico.), Thursday, 22 April 2010 21:17 (fifteen years ago)

you could really fuck with some people if you had a bunch of those stick bugs

― Darin, Thursday, 22 April 2010 21:27 (fifteen years ago)

Oh jesus, that stick insect! I vote for the lungless frog, because it is cuet.

― ailsa, Thursday, 22 April 2010 21:41 (fifteen years ago)

totally lungless frog

― dome ass (Nijoli), Thursday, 22 April 2010 21:45 (fifteen years ago)

The slug curls up to sleep, which is pretty adorable.

― textbook blows on the head (dowd), Thursday, 22 April 2010 21:53 (fifteen years ago)

voting for the ant because it's challenging my long-held assumption that insect bodies are divided into three segments, a head thorax and abdomen.

― dyªº (dyao), Friday, 23 April 2010 00:31 (fifteen years ago)

also really hate this narrative of saving rainforests because of the potential for 'finding cures '; okay if you really find a cure for cancer in the rainforests you're just going to cause everybody on this planet to live longer which is going to add more stress to the planet which is going to lead to more destruction of the rainforest. also what if this miraculous cure can't be synthesized in the lab, that means a lot of people are going to go spearfishing after your poor lungless frog. I do recognize that it's a tactic to make rainforest conservation more attractive to the average person but rainforests should be saved because THEY'RE SOME FUCKING AWESOME ANIMALS IN THEM and not because they have the potential to extend the stranglehold humans have on this world.
