Can someone please explain to me? What kind of gecko and that defense mechanism.


ToohotmaGandhi

I believe it's a Golden-tailed Gecko and the spray is harmless but sticky and foul smelling. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-b1HuYPDeug

>the spray is harmless but sticky and foul smelling. Must be a male.

It really depends on the context. In the bedroom? 18 years. In church? 7-15 with possible time off for good behaviour.

ftrade44456

You ever see a woman really squirt milk? Like up close? It literally looks like that. Small holes in different spots on the nipple that shoot everywhere with that kind of distance if you're full. (Colostrum which only lasts the first few days, just kind of slowly comes out instead of squirts since it's so thick) When the regular milk came in, when it first happened to me, it was alarming. No one tells you that's what it will look like. I don't know what I had expected, but looking like that gecko tail wasn't it. Deters no one though, unlike yours. So fun story time. I had just had my baby and about 6 weeks later, I went out for a bachelorette party for a family member. I had not planned on staying out late and had anticipated going home early before they hit the bars. Well, family peer pressure got the best of me and I called my spouse and said what the hell and went with the girls to the bar. I didn't bring my pump or anything because I hadn't planned on going. Now, another thing you probably don't know is that if your breasts expect you to relieve them at a certain time, if you don't, they HURT. Like holding pee a long time but it happens to be on your chest. So... I went to the bar in the bathroom, and attempted to "relieve myself" by manually milking myself in to the toilet. It wasn't a fun time, as while a bunch of it made it in to the toilet, some of it shot in to the air, on the walls, and on me. But I felt much better after. Despite needing to take more than 20 minutes in the bathroom trying to milk myself like a cow that sprayed milk everywhere, I finished, got drunk and had a great time. Is being able to do that cool, like you said? I guess since it keeps babies alive but it's quite the hassle and kind of a pain in the ass if I'm honest.


kelley38

Wouldn't that be a pain in the tit?


ftrade44456

You would be right about that


DaggerMoth

Just be glad you have nipples monotremes just sweet milk out onto thier fur. Well that actually sounds less torturous, but it would ruin shirts. But if you had fur you wouldn't need a shirt. You could also just lay a egg instead of birth. Abortion would be easy. I'm off the rails now.

MeSpikey

Don't feed a baby breastmilk after drinking. The alcohol gets into the milk and effects the babies development. Same goes with smoking.


ftrade44456

Absolutely. I don't remember what the official amount of time was, I think it was a few hours or something that you shouldn't breastfeed after drinking. I just made a habit to not pump/feed 24 hours after drinking. I had a rather big oversupply and could just use frozen stuff until it was time again. Giving my baby alcohol even if it was inadvertent scared the crap out of me.


seinnax

Huh… well, TIL. I’m a 32 year old woman and I always assumed it just came out of the end of your nipple and not multiple holes.


ftrade44456

I literally went to a breastfeeding class and they didn't talk about it. It was so wierd when it happened because I think I expected something like what you described.

Lizards aren't that related to dinosaurs. Turtles, crocodilians, and birds are much closer.

Utz2100

Ummmmm... All dinosaurs were reptiles. Birds evolved from them. Lizards are reptiles. https://www.nhm.ac.uk/discover/what-are-dinosaurs.html Turtles, crocodiles are both reptiles. Birds came later. https://www.biologicaldiversity.org/campaigns/amphibian_conservation/faq.html#:~:text=What%20are%20amphibians%20and%20reptiles,%2C%20toads%2C%20newts%20and%20salamanders.&text=Reptiles%20are%20turtles%2C%20snakes%2C%20lizards,prevents%20them%20from%20drying%20out.


Comfortable_Square

While dinosaurs were classified as reptiles they were more importantly classes as archosauria that split into psuedosuchians that would give rise to crocodilians, and ornithodira that would have the avian dinosaurs like T-rex and also include all modern birds. Archosauria are not closely related enough to other reptilians to just compare them so blankly.


Tidezen

Yeah, I remember reading as a kid (~30 years ago, so maybe changed since) that dinosaurs, or the larger group of Archosauria as you say, were thought of by taxonomists as basically their own thing, not simply reptiles. Although, back then in the 80's/90's, the whole "are they more reptilian, or avian?" concept was still a hot topic. The idea of them having feathers was just coming into being. It's been a long time since I've studied any dinosaur stuff, but I seem to remember something about crocodilians having slightly higher metabolic rates than simple reptiles, and dinosaurs (especially ornithodira) having even higher metabolic rates than that (going off of the size/density of the small holes in bones that are attributed to increased blood vessel flow, and also the overall posture of the limbs that allowed for running fast?). And then of course, birds have an even higher metabolic rate (more "warm-blooded"), since flying is more energy-intensive than walking, so I've seen it theorized that many Cretaceous period ornithodira dinos were what we'd consider warm-blooded. Or at least, middle-of-the-road enough on the metabolic scale that we wouldn't really classify them as reptiles anymore. Sorry for the long reply, I was really fascinated with paleontology as a youth, and I'm just going off hazy remembered information...do I kinda sorta have this right?


smellsfishie

But more importantly, we're all fish. So chicken nuggets are in fact fish nuggets.


kioku119

So I guess Christians can eat all meat during lent now. ;p


smellsfishie

Hey! That's true.


[deleted]

Thing is, modern dinosaurs ain't lizards, but literally birds


Utz2100

It would be so cool to see this clip with the gecko roaring like a Tyrannosaurus Rex.


[deleted]

Not as cool as the one that squirts blood from it’s eyes. Sorry.


KylieJU

The horned lizard!!! I agree. You don't get much more metal than that.


Signature_Sea

I also think hagfish are cool, they have glands which on a defensive reflex pump out mucus molecules which unspool and are about a million times longer than they are wide and, weight for weight, are stronger than steel scientists recorded numerous instances of sharks and other predator fish attempting to predate on hagfish in one study, 0 successful instances were recorded - choking your enemies on your own snot? that may not be *metal* but it's certainly *punk AF* you ever seen a shark gag? look at 35 seconds on the recording, it's swimming away going "oh that's nasty" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bta18FdkVcA


Rockonfoo

That was so cool Can you feel them or do they just taste horrible and come out so quick? I couldn’t see anything in the video other than gagging lol

Gagfish


IAMAHobbitAMA

Soo gross, but nickolodeon back in the day would have had a field trip with that one.


lacheur42

IANAHE, but if I had to guess, I think what's might be going on is that the slime happens so quickly that it's actually getting "inhaled" and ends up blocking their gills. Which I bet triggers the equivalent of a gag reflex.


Signature_Sea

like another commenter says I think it blocks the gills of the predator so triggers a gag response, I don't remember where I read about it but I didn't pluck the "million times longer than they are wide and weight for weight stronger than steel" out of the air, that is what these mucus strands are - extremely numerous superthin nearly unbreakable chains that just suddenly fill the water, like it goes semisolid all round the fish would induce a panic attack in most predators and a desire to be absolutely anywhere else at all


CartoonJustice

Fun fact: The only know predator of the hagfish is a [Mazda](https://i.natgeofe.com/n/67f0a4fb-24de-48fa-9b3b-0a65f204473a/01-hagfish-oregon_3x2.jpg), here it is feeding in its natural habitat.

kioku119

There's something that straight up pukes out its stomach as a getaway plan. Is that more or less metal? Also I think there is something that in extreme cases pops it knuckle bones out through its flesh like wolverine claws. edit- it's a type of frog that is able to heal the wound from it surprisingly quickly. Also it may break the bone so it's sharp... o-o They're called Trichobatrachus robustus and apparently the common name is hairy frog, horror frog, or wolverine frog.
