Artistic Science

syphilyssa:

The fact that there are bugs that look like leaves and eels with electricity and frogs that ooze out crazy psychedelic poison makes me soo mad like humans don’t have shit ooo my big brain whoopee where’s my fucking night vision or my wings to fly with what the shit evolution u blew it buddy

There are African tribes with the ability to see really well in the dark like a cat can because their retinas aren’t as exposed to artificial light as ours is.

There’s a southeastern tribe in Asia who hunts underwater, able to hunt for 15 minutes down there and can retract their pupils for better vision while hunting.

We have webbing between our fingers so we can swim unlike other primates. While it doesn’t cover the spaces between each finger like a frog’s, it still helps a little.

If your hand is in water long enough, it wrinkles. This wrinkling in your skin gives better traction to grab onto a surface instead of slipping off and falling.
