Uncharismatic Fact of the Day

Laughing kookaburras don’t need a gender reveal party; the sex of their offspring is almost always determined by the order in which the eggs are laid and whether or not the parents had any helpers. The first-laid eggs are almost always male, and the second are almost always female. Nests that have helpers are also far more likely to produce males than those without.

ROUND TWO

KINGFISHERS from CLASS AVES vs TOBY from HARVEST MOON

PROPAGANDA:

KINGFISHERS - "Saw one snatch up and gobble a fish in front of me. Very good at the grabbing part but less good at the eating part due to the fish being extremely large in relation to its beak"

TOBY - "Lives at a fishery. Favorite hobby and job are both fishing.' "This man can marry you but his first love is fishing."

#shoutout to the nerd in my submission form explaining in depth about kingfishers and herons and such. as an ecology major: i see you #also i misread your submission oops. you wanted herons not kingfishers. which tbh i agree. love herons. but it's too late to change now #fishticuffs #birds #kingfishers #aves #coraciiformes #alcedinidae #sorry for the taxonomy. NOT. #harvest moon #harvest moon toby #hm toby #harvest moon tree of tranquility #harvest moon animal parade
