#did you know kangaroos elephants and manatees are the only animals that regularly shed and regrow teeth?? what the fuck #edit: MAMMALS the only MAMMALS lmao #and by contrast crocodilians are the only nonmammals that have tooth sockets! even though they do also routinely shed teeth-- #around 50 times per tooth!! #anyway imagine a gentle looking gnome in a waistcoat very excitedly telling you all of this #I was JUST thinking about the fluff of mel telling her dad that boggle sheds teeth like a fish and showing/ giving him some #but of course I had to go 'what all animals DO do that anyway' because the reason so many of my OCs are nerds is that I also am a nerd #about me #my ocs #melliwyk #tukklewyn
