Daily Reminder NOT To Approach Elk Or Let Them Approach You, Especially During The Rut. Ohmy God Random

A new viewpoint on antlers reveals the evolutionary history of deer (Cervidae, Mammalia)

fullview recommended!

something i've wanted to do for a while now. i've scoured the internet for something like this and can't find anything that compares all the different types of antlers together. except one recent study on their evolution, which is also very interesting on its own! i simplified it to provide a visual reference, while still trying to be scientifically accurate. some things differ between this and trophy scoring terminology like where the beam is and whatnot, so if something looks weird that's why.

small additional note, this study and others provide a lot of evidence that eld's deer should be in their own genus as it doesn't appear similar enough to barasingha and schomburgk's deer. however this doesn't seem to be adapted anywhere yet, so they're still in Rucervus for this guide.

does anyone know how to genuinely make at least $100 a month while unable to work that doesn't involve art commissions/those scammy rewards apps/etc? i'm still waiting on SSI to either approve or deny me a second time and my dad basically told me to eat quarters so uh 🤪 i'm looking for any way to buy groceries for myself. my mom suggested the food pantry but that doesn't sit right with me because i have college savings i choose not to dip into opposed to being in desperate need (im not using them because it's all my mom and i have left for emergencies).

before anyone asks we got denied for food stamps (apparently my mom's disability payments are $100 over the income limit? wow US government ur really rooting out the fraudsters here /s)

any tips would be so so appreciated!! thank you for reading and goodbye for now 🦌
