Let's do Some Zoology!

Hi, I'm Andrew and I’m just a simple 18 year old guy and zoology student that posts random factoids about obscure animals and general animal science/zoology/biology stuff so if you like animals this is the place for you, if you only like cute animals this is not the place for you… I also like astronomy and some weirdos from youtube called the creatures so I’m prone to reblog stuff about that too. Also I track the 'astronomy-to-zoology' tag so yeah.

Disclamer: none of the pictures are mine unless stated

Order Doliolida: an order of thaliaceans found in tropical waters. Unlike their salp cousins doliolids have 8-9 bands of muscle lining their bodies, making them look similar to a barrel.

Eresus cinnaberinus (no common name)

is a endangered species of spider native to Central and Southern Europe, and a secluded area in England. This spiders most distinct feature is its four black dots on its abdomen, which presumably is supposed to resemble a ladybird beetle. Like alot of spiders this species is dimorphic as females are all black with occasional yellow coloration. The female spiders live in fairly sized underground tubes which are layered with silk on the top, which the spider uses to trap insects like beetles and millipedes. eventually the males will find one of the holes and take up residence with the female in her tube where they will feed from the same web.
