Lumpsuckers are little fish with sticky bottoms. They stick to rocks when the water gets rough. Well they're not really sticky, they use their modified pelvic fins to grip onto the sea bottom. They mainly live in colder, northern oceans and eat little bits of plants and animals.
Let's end Father's Day with an old comic that I always think about this time of year. It features a 7-legged (!?!) Five-spotted hawkmoth and its larva, aka the tomato hornworm.

Jun 18
If you ever see a giant tongue attached to someone (possibly alive, possibly dead) with a sign that says “free hugs,” it could be a trap. Do your best to remember this relatable comic and stay away. One good thing about our need to social distance, besides not getting sick, is that traps like these are harder to come fall for. I mean, who’d take a free hug from a stranger nowadays?

Many people don't realize that it's not uncommon for birds like crows to leave the nest shortly before they're completely flighted. As a result, thousands of crows each year fall victim to "crownapping" by misguided, but well meaning people. In collaboration with Kaeli Swift of @corvidresearch [you should follow!], I've created a comic to help keep crows in the care of their parents.

“Donald Trump is the first president in my lifetime who does not try to unite the American people—does not even pretend to try. Instead, he tries to divide us. We are witnessing the consequences of three years of this deliberate effort. We are witnessing the consequences of three years without mature leadership. We can unite without him, drawing on the strengths inherent in our civil society. This will not be easy, as the past few days have shown, but we owe it to our fellow citizens; to past generations that bled to defend our promise; and to our children.”

May 6
In Brazil, a scientist picked up a frog, which bit him, and for the next 5 hours, the scientist was in excruciating pain. Luckily for him, he was bit by Greening's frog and not Bruno's casque-headed frog because the latter's venom is 5x that of Greening's. These two frogs have little spines on their skulls that inject poison into attackers. Unlike the famous and colorful poison dart frogs, which just secrete poison from their skin, the two frogs in this comic can inject it into their attackers.
I don't only do portraits of doggies—meet Salvador Mali—the Mali uromastyx. He's a vegetarian lizard who's kin originate in Mali.

Well I just read that some rays, like the bluntnose stingray that live along the atlantic coast, grow extra sharp rows of bitey teeth during the mating season.

Did you know that most white sand beaches come from parrotfish poop? The fish use their crazy parrot-like beaks to bite and scrape food off of rocks and dead corals, grind up the rocky parts in their guts and poop sand!

April 8 is Draw a Picture of a Bird Day. It's a total coincidence that I decided to make today's comic about the harris hawk—and fortunately, when it comes to harris hawks in the wild, you get not one, but many birds. They're pack hunters!

Happy April Fool's Day! When you exclaim "APRIL FOOLS!" after you brilliantly make a fool of someone, do you mentally picture the word spelled as "FOOL'S" OR "FOOLS?" I looked it up, and the Internet told me it's "FOOLS." No foolin'. The climbing perch is native to Asia, but it's crawling its way all over the world and is now considered an invasive species.

Do you have any piercings? Does anybody know? Tell me about it!
Beaked whales are the last frontier for whale studies. They spend most of their lives in the deep, deep sea, making them difficult subjects to learn about. In fact, the Cuvier's beaked whale is the deepest diving mammal known. Scientists are just starting to learn about the behavior of these awesome creatures by shooting tracking devices into their flesh when they surface. I have a hunch, though, that only the cool whales surface long enough to get tagged—because it's fashionable #😎

Insects have such crazy lifecycles—imagine one day being a wiggly, voracious maggot, spinning a sleeping bag out of your body, and then taking a nap. Next thing you know, you're completely different. Maybe you've got huge wings or you're the baby-making machine of a colony of millions!
I guess the point is, sometimes our parental figures seems completely different than us, but we always carry a part of them with us as we go from lifetime to lifetime in our own lives.
Theast I counted, I think I've lived 7 or 8 different lifetimes in my life so far. 2020 being the weirdest, of course.

One of the more interesting fathers that I've learned about is the plucky guillemot, a bird of the far north. Here's its story:
After a few weeks in the nest, guillemot dads "escort" their offspring off a sheer cliff face (the babies glide/fly hundreds of feet down to the water).
Back at the nest, the moms, who are exausted from feeding their chicks, stay back at the tiny nest site with thousands of other mothers in the colony.
Down at the sea, the dads feed their young while they chicks wait patiently at the surface.
These birds are much more at home in the water than in the air.
Guillemots can dive hundreds of meters. Imagine being in a deep sea exploration vessel and seeing a bird flying by!
Would you rather pilot an undersea explorer or fly a plane?

Let’s take a look at the most endangered of them (and they’re all endangered) — the Kemp’s or Atlantic Ridley Sea turtle. It’s one of two Ridley turtle species (the other being the olive ridley), and Kemp’s is the rarest of them all.
The smallest of all the sea turtles, Kemp’s Ridleys (what’s left of them) can be found all up and down the western Atlantic Ocean, but they prefer warm water. They nest in a few places around the Gulf of Mexico.
Answer me this: what would you rather do? If you were miniature, would you rather ride through a forest on a land turtle or sail the sea with a sea turtle?

Or make up your own! Here’s one: side-breathing stream slipper. See those wrinkles on the salamander’s side? Those act as gills!
It’s a true shame that these slimy creatures’ numbers are dwindling fast, due to the usual habitat loss, poaching, over harvesting and pollution. There are some efforts being made to reintroduce the river loogies back to their native ranges. We’ll see how that goes!

All rays are born flat, perfectly symmetrical and appear to fly in the ocean as gracefully as any bird. Like sharks, they have no bones, they're cartilaginous. Boney flatfish, on the other hand, grow into their flatness. They are born bilateral, like most fish. But as they develop, their eyeball migrates from one side of their head to meet the other eye on the same side–making this animal the most asymmetrical vertebrate on earth. No wonder this perfectly streamlined cowtail stingray finds the halibut so distasteful.

To celebrate, let’s chew the cud about this for a while. Who's really in charge? The bacteria that break down the food that we feed it, or us?
For instance, the 4-chambered stomach inside the ruminants (like the pronghorn and American bison in the comic) seem to be nothing more than chambers that house grass-eating flora and fauna. Makes you think, doesn't it?
Special thanks to freelance environmental educator, @bryodiversity for explaining this whole process to me—and pretty much writing what a speedy pronghorn would chatter about (when ruminating about its digestive system, that is). 🦗🦗🦗🦗🦗

Most of these suckers have a straw-like mouthpart that they use to slurp up plant parts (like aphids, leafhoppers, stinkbugs, et cetera). This isn't true, however, for the aquatic versions—most of those guys are predators—except for the waterboatmen. Backswimmers would gladly hunt you down, though (if you're small enough)! Speaking of bugs, anybody hear the cicadas yet this year? Of so, where are you?

I dug up some land turtle comics for you to enjoy (sea turtle day is sometime next month, stay tuned).
🐢
Turtles and their ilk have been around for about 220 million years (since the late Triassic Period), and the stegosaurus walked around about 150 million years ago (in the late Jurassic Period). Despite the legend, turtles can flip over once they're upside-down. Unlike this particular stegosaurus. Thus making turtles one of the most successful groups of animals ever to flop around the earth.

Some additional notes of interest:
Bearded vultures are also known as lammergeiers, which means lamb-vulture, can you guess why?
No they don't look like lambs, they eat them. Well they eat their bones, that is.
Their ruddy color is from adorning themselves with mud or soil, which they think looks neat (it might have some beneficial properties as well, but I don't know know about it). Kind of makes you wonder, though why people kill them so much. The main reason is because farmers believe that by poisoning their livestock after it dies, it will kill animals that would prey on their herds. But it just pretty much kills vultures.
Who knew that such an awesome dinosaur would be slaughtered by people?
Oh wait, these are humans we're talking about, so forget I asked.
What’s your favorite raptor and why?
More to come on these things. There's an amazing story from way back when, regarding a beardy, a playwright and a tortoise. Stay tuned!

The aye-aye looks kind of cute, if you ignore those hands that look like spiders.
Speaking of their hands, their middle finger has a ball and socket joint, much like our hips! This is great for digging out insect grubs but not great for gripping trees. To make up for their spindly fingers, apparently aye-ayes have evolved a second thumb on each hand—for hanging in there—which is what they're barely doing—since there's about 1000 of the bug-eyed primates left in the wild.
Hunting and deforestation have pretty much wiped these guys out. ◉_◉
Did you notice how they fill the niche of the woodpecker? Isn't that crazy to think about?

With an estimated 100 million sharks that are killed each year, 73 million wind up in shark fin soup!
Even though China has pretty much stomped out shark fin (or fish wing) soup, in places like Hong Kong, Thailand, Vietnam, Indonesia, Macau and Taiwan, people are happily slurping the dish—whether they know anything about how cruel and devastating the meal is for our oceans or not.
Some people claim that the food is medicinal, but that couldn't be further from the truth. Sharks are at the top of the ocean's food chain, which means their meat contains dangerous metals like mercury, cadmium, and even arsenic.

So let's celebrate by looking at the looong extinct baculite, or what I like to call the OTHER unicorn of the sea. Even though they died out in the Cretaceous, along with the dinosaurs, perhaps this baculite—in the face of extinction—tried to wedge its way into folk memory. Little did it know that humans would remember them differently!
Fortunately, eons later, this amazing cephalopod showed up in the fossil record.

People who know these things believe that the harris hawk became a pack hunter because of where it lives, especially in the winter. In the Southwest of North America, the winters have few small animals for a hawk-sized bird to hunt. So a jackrabbit, which could way a lot more than a hawk, needs to be taken down by multiple birds, so they evolved a cooperative hunting technique.
They also evolved a behavior called back-stacking, where they stand on each other's backs, possibly to shade their friend, possibly to get a better view, possibly to annoy each other, nobody knows why! Do you have any ideas?
If you're into further reading, and who isn't these days, check out the article about them on Audubon.org.
And how's the quarantining going? Does it feel like you're being backstacked on?

Since it's invasive, I guess it's good that people eat it. The fact that they can live for so long out of water makes them a valuable source of food at markets.

Know what you can eat during Earth Hour? Something on a stick—because today's National Something on a Stick Day! The one day everyone is encouraged to eat like a loggerhead shrike!
The loggerhead shrike is a small but mighty bird. Scientists think these songbirds came up with idea while they were smacking their prey on branches to make the kill. Lo and behold, some of them stuck, just like a spikey talon would—and so they invented the insect kabob. And besides, who doesn't like eating food on sticks or skewers or whatever you call 'em?

Let's celebrate by taking a look back to 2012, when a Floridian decided to take a ride on a manatee—possibly because she wanted to appreciate them more than anybody else, maybe?
The story goes like this: after being photographed riding a sea cow, the woman turned herself into police, claiming that she was new to the area and didn't realize that riding manatees was illegal. At least she did the noble thing. I wonder if the ride was a lot less exciting than she was expecting it to be.
Manatees can move quickly in the water when they feel like it in order to escape danger. I guess the manatee in the comic didn't really feel threatened by this strange aquatic wannabe-rodeo rider.
If you knew you wouldn't get caught, what animal would you most want to ride?

It must be very confusing for weather loaches that live in aquariums. They seem to get irritated and antsy when there's a change in barometric pressure. They always sense storms that never come. Do you think they annoy their tank mates, like the tiger barb in the comic?

The paradox frog (Pseudis paradoxa) lives in South America. They earned their name because the tadpoles actually "grow down" — the adults are about a quarter the size of the tadpoles! What's more, the tadpoles only feed on plants, while the adults eat the usual frog diet of invertebrates and tiny fish. So you've gotta wonder, if the plant-loving froglets ever interact with adults, how angsty they'd be!

Did you know that while we shutter ourselves in, CO2 levels and air pollution are dropping? There's some glass is half-full news, eh?
I fished up all the frog comics I could find—some of which I think are my very best works.
Which one's your favorite? Are there any that I'm missing?

I was considering doing a comic about the Irish elk, which was one of the the biggest deer ever, but times are so strange, I decided to keep going with quotes by some of the great existentialists.
I feel like this is an especially useful one, since so many of us feel like that bullfrog, being squeezed by our schoolless children.
Do you/have you ever had any pets that are just completely annoyed by you? For me, it was the newts I had as a kid. They didn’t reciprocate much affection.
Hang in there!

The birdcage, in my mind, is one of the worst human inventions of all time. What could be more typically humanly arrogant than not allowing a bird to fly?
What are other terrible inventions we can think of (torture devices excluded)? I'll start: math homework!

Video games are a gas for excitement for Production X. Ever since video games encompass a huge number of digital resources, there are particular games that require particular software or a device to operate.Nintendo, Play Boy, Xbox, as well as PlayStation are a few examples of apparatus and prerequisites that people must possess to play matches. However, one must admit, no one is actually capable of buying all these devices.
Taking these constraints in mind, this guide will explain how to play GameBoy Advance games on the PC.
What’s GBA?
It is a product belonging to the Game Boy family line, and most of us would remember it as the purple coloured console used to play a number of 32-bit video games as a kid. With the progress of video game consoles and the wide range of games offered in the current market, GBA was discontinued in 2010, since Nintendo has started manufacturing more advanced products.
How to Play GBA Games on PC? An emulator is a software or a hardware, which is installed into a computer to act in a special way.
Within PCs, an emulator makes the computer act like a different computer or device. By downloading GBA emulator on the PC, while playing with the game, the computer will act as though it is a GameBoy Advance and thus, will encourage GBA games or ROMs.
Many emulators are available which can be downloaded in the PC to play GBA games. An individual can find Game Boy Advance emulators on site.
Make certain to confirm the kind or type of applications before downloading, depending on the hardware and software ability of your PC. Click the Download button and the emulator will start downloading. Once the emulator was downloaded, click Run to start the setup installation. Following the emulator was installed, activate the software. The application of the emulator may also be observed on the background of their PC. To start any GBA game, one wants to click on the emulator software to trigger it.
Step 2 — Download GBA ROMs
ROMs are used to store data within a computer device. GBA ROMs are essentially like a software bundle of the entire game which can be played on almost any PC, given that a GBA Emulator is currently downloaded within the computer.
One can simply find GameBoy Advance ROMs on Website. It’s a website where ROMs could be downloaded of several consoles over the PC in order that games of those particular consoles could be performed directly on the computer. Since GBA games are widely in demand even now, the ROM can be easily downloaded from the mentioned web site.
ROMs can even be found on Website along with a lot of other matches of GBA. It’s one of the most well-known and trusted website for downloading the ROMs and GBA games. In addition to GBA games, an individual can also find a variety of games, which initially belong to other consoles. The games and ROM can be downloaded free of charge, with no risk of virus or malware.
Downloading GBA ROMs
- Visit Roms-Download and then Choose the game from a huge variety of catalogues inside the website.
- While selecting the match, be sure to check the score as well as the amount of downloads of the particular game. This gives an idea about the authentication and even prevalence of the game.
- Choose the game and then click on the Download button.
- The ROM will start downloading, and once it’s done, click Run to install the game on your PC.
- When the game was downloaded, first click the emulator to trigger the software and then open the game.
Conclusion
Roms-Download Includes a group of all of the emulators on consoles, and one would also be surprised to take a look at the huge variety of games that can be found on the https://roms-download.com/roms/gameboy-advance. Just a few easy and simple steps and you can get into the world of the ideal video games on the PC itself.
