May I suggest a komodo dragon (ignore my username)

Yes, absolutely, one of my favorite animals!

Komodo Dragon (Varanus komodoensis), family Varanidae, found on Komodo Island, and other nearby islands in Indonesia

Venomous.

ENDANGERED.

It was once thought that Komodos subdue prey with a heavy and noxious array of mouth bacteria that infect bite wounds of prey after being bitten, but… it was never really determined scientifically if that’s what was happening (conclusively, at least). (It is still believed though that this may aid in brining down larger prey).

It turned out, they’re venomous! Research was done in 2009 that found a primitive venom gland at the back of the mouth.

This is that largest species of lizard in the world, growing to a maximum total length of up to ~ 3 m (~10 ft.) long and a max. weight of up to 8~ 81 kg (180 lbs) (in the wild).

I just....I just learned that there's a word in the English language...for when you run into someone to hug them with all the enthusiasm and strength you have....I learned that it's called glomp.

My God, English has so many words to describe physical intimacy, I'm in love

#funguary day 1, Mycena subcyanocephala! Or Blue Bonnet mushroom. A newly discovered mushroom from Taiwan - it’s only been seen about 8 times.

two fat monks have been too busy tonguing each other's holes for the last 200 year to teach anybody else the recipe for green chartreuse and we're all supposed to act like it's fine

the humble "like" is oft mocked despite what it does for us. "like, three people" is a vastly different statement from "three people". "and i was like 'what the fuck'" is vastly different from "and i said 'what the fuck'". i love you "like" and anyone who says you make people sound stupid will be killed on sight

Trick or treat!

Happy Halloween! You got: an orb of candy corn

Another example of things that don't work as planned in the life of a bird photographer. This heron was posing perfectly on the branch of a tree, but then the bird decided to fly away and I just wasn't fast enough to change my zoom. Well, at least the first three pictures are quite good. The last one is again in the category of bird feet of birds that flew off.

This works with any stainless steel object! They actually sell "magic soap" for this purpose, but save yourself the $7 and just grab a piece of flatware from your kitchen drawer. I use serving spoons for the larger surface area.
