#Spectember2025 day 1: First steps
The Tired Snail (*Rota collicillindra*) (Hill rolling wheel)
On a remote, small island, there are snails. Snails unlike any other. If they feel threatened, they will withdraw to their shell and with a push of their strong muscular foot they get Rollin'.

Hey, since the whole #IrritatorbelongstoBr thing is going on, I would just like to remind everyone that Lacusovagus is also in Germany, and so is a bunch of other fossils.
Lacusovagus pterosaur with speculative display structure.
Many pterosaurs have huge openings on their skulls which, had been found on other groups such as dinosaurs, most certainly would have been reconstructed as inflatable "air sacs".

Don't cling your identity to commercial properties. They're products. You can enjoy them. But make sure they're not something that defines you, especially exclusively.

Our friend the Northern Spadefoot Toad lives in northern Australia! Males of the species are known to inflate their bodies and float in the water while making loud "whoop! whoop! whoop!" noises to attract females! www.youtube.com/watch?v=N3dv... (photo by Nick Volpe)

Annual reminder that instead of Harry Potter, read Ursula Le Guin's Earthsea instead.
Better written, more insightful, more interesting world and characters, not ethically-poisonous, and it wasn't made by a malignant has-been TERF.

The Mediterranean in Crisis.
About 6 million years ago the Mediterranean Sea almost completely dried up, becoming a giant salt flat. Many terrestrial animals roamed it and the former islands. Eventually, the Atlantic Ocean reclaimed the basin in what must have been the flood of all floods. #Sciart

Our friend Günther's Dwarf Toad lives in the forests of the Matang Range of Sarawak, Malaysia! They grow to less than an inch long! Their tadpoles develop quickly in temporary pools and are born with yolk sacs on which they feed until they develop into baby toads! (photo by Bob Zakaria)

As facultative bipeds, most brubafa find it easier to walk on all fours. This necessitates a hand covering that is easily removable, yet sturdy & sanitary. Handshoes are one such solution, with findings suggesting they were first crafted over 140,000 years ago #salotum #specevo #worldbuilding

Literally any riding-suitable animal or animal-drawn-cart is a lot cooler than any vehicle imo. Ideally you need to be its best friend for it to function properly, and it usually comes with anti-theft/damage measures like teeth and horns. Plus, they’re primarily made of carbon and are even edible.

Lmfao i know this guy, crazy to see Naish reccomending his stuff, truly a great accomplishment
Today's #ArtBoost is for the enigmatic Feller0__0, about whom I know nothing, and who I found on Twitter but can't see here. They do great #SpecBio art, involving aquatic squamates, weird primates and more. Feller also does #palaeoart and is a big #Godzilla fan who has illustrated several versions.

Our friend the Brazil Tree Toad lives in the Amazonas state of Brazil! They have a unique reproductive strategy where they lay their eggs on aerial roots above pools of water, and when the eggs hatch the tadpoles fall into the water where they develop! (photo by Victor Fávaro Augusto)

The Aputsum of Salotum have readily adopted many human customs since their island was opened up to the outside world in 1875. One newfound pastime is basketball. Though less stable on two legs, brubafa can still move rapidly and deftly in a bipedal stance.
