Electric Eel (Electrophorus electricus) ⚡️

Believe it or not, is a type of knifefish, rather than a true Eel. These guys are freshwater fish native to South America. They have the ability to release ~860 volts of electricity and they breathe AIR 😮

Ward's Paphiopedilum
(Paphiopedilum wardii)

This is a type of Asian Slipper Orchid that is native to China. This plant typically lures flies into its "slipper" and the insects then have no choice but to climb out passing the pistil and getting covered in it's pollen.

Adaptations at its finest.

A baby White-tailed Deer (Odocoileus virginianus) 🦌

This deer fawn was rescued and rehabilitated at a wildlife rescue center. The blue markings on his head are to help us tell him apart from the other rescued deers.

This is a PSA. If you EVER find an injured or sick deer, they can become habituated extremely fast to humans. Please do not ever take home a deer to help them out. Your good intentions could cause a negative impact on the animal. It is best to call a professional wildlife rehabber to take the deer.

Thank you for caring for nature and wildlife ❤️ 🌎
