      @@AztecCroc Many Pokémon designs based on animals take inspiration from multiple species at once, even if they have one main real-world counterpart they share the most traits with. Grafaiai’s name and long fingers are clearly taken from the aye-aye, but it can’t be denied that the toxic saliva element, and even its normal/poison typing, heavily allude to the slow loris as well; which belongs to the same mammalian suborder as the aye-aye. Even its previous form referencing shrews, one of the only other mammals known to be venomous, points to the fact that the poison grafaiai uses is an intentional nod to the slow loris’ venom. Not only that, but grafaiai has design elements taken from other relatives of aye-ayes and lorises as well, like its markings resembling those of a ringtail lemur. It clearly isn’t based on just one animal without being meant to reference any others

      @@samrowe2889 perhaps calling it dementia is just hyperbole on my part but I've noticed definite cognitive decline, confusion and behaviour changes in many of my older pets (the ones who are very old for their particular species). There's a growing body of evidence for dementia in animals - or if not dementia, many of the symptoms of it. It's a very new area of research even in species as popular as dogs, so naturally there's very little literature on dementia in reptiles. But that's how every area of research starts: at zero. While of course we shouldn't jump to conclusions, it would be a big assumption to think that dementia only affects humans. Such exceptionalistic thinking would be very unhelpful.
      But...

    Another note is how snakes in particular have Venom; safe to consume, but deadly when in an animal's blood. This means it's both in an area of little concern, and that their own meals won't harm themselves.
    Different adaptations, different approaches. The bird doesn't need absolute protection; it's liable to only get trace amounts absorbed from it's skin or minor injuries. As well, birds are fragile, and typically don't survive a major injury.

    Pitvipers genus Bothrops can die if they bite themselves accidentally or by another pitviper.
    I've seen it in more than 10 occasions.
    The venom located in the primary venom gland does not digest the gland because it must be activated by the product of the accesory gland, which is secreted as the same time as the product of the primary one, during tje act of biting.

    It's unlikely for snake to bite itself but it could be bitten by other member of its species.
    I think that is the main reason for the additional levels of protection against its own poison.

    • @crystals5036
      @crystals5036 3 місяці тому +2

      It does. A lot of things can harm us when not ‘following instruction’ or ‘do as intended’. Imagine stomach acid flowing out, or cells not following instructions and started to consume ‘ourselves’. This is actually what happens when you’re dead iirc as they’re no longer under control. Anyway, a lot of things inside us are actually outsiders, who work for us
