#microbes

Hi! Maybe "Monsieur le Microbe" needed some friends, so here we go: Bonjour, les microbes :D

Also bonjour to you. I hope you're having a swell day and an even sweller weekend

We’ve Found #Sauropod Stomach Contents For The First Time, Revealing They Had Terrible Manners
#Sauropods as a group span around 130 million years of time, but this one came from the Winton Formation of Queensland in #Australia, home to animals that lived during the mid-Cretaceous. It appears that they were walking around with “gastric furnaces” that could break down food thanks to #fermentation and #microbes in the gut – no chewing required.

Good day to you, my lovelies. I hope you're having an excellent day. I've come down with a tiny cold myself, but I'm doing fine. This morning, I started doodling, and I think this might turn into something new... So here's the first of a series: say hello to Monsieur Microbe :D Also, happy Friday to all! Enjoy your weekend and keep it spooky
