We are a worldwide social network of freethinkers, atheists, agnostics and secular humanists.
I never cease to be awed by the splendor of the natural world, by the forces that shape the earth, and by the diversity and ingenuity of the life that populates it.
Animal | Vegetable | Mineral is a group where those who share this fascination can discuss the Earth and animal sciences of geology, volcanology, seismology, ecology, ethology, primatology, entymology—basically all the –ologies of the natural world.
For general science, chemistry, genetics, or evolution, please post in the Science! group. For posts on animal rights and welfare, please post in Animal Care. For cosmology, please post in The Daily Cosmos. For green living, sustainability, and environmental activism, please post in the Green Atheists group.

This is what a bear looks like without hair. Dolores, a spectacled bear at the Leipzig Zoo in Germany in 2009 had this condition caused by a wrong diet. When the diet was corrected the fur grew back completely within four months http://ow.ly/vnry30nBZDv | http://ow.ly/elEY30nBZHc
This couple of sea urchins was discovered by a research vessel near New Caledonia at a depth of 1000 ft and photographed by Steve Jurvetson. They show us how fractals are everywhere, in the geometry of nature https://buff.ly/2rw0h1s | https://buff.ly/2rw0e5M

The Pacu fish has human-like teeth that have evolved due to a high proportion of nuts in their diet.
Titanoceratops ouranos had the largest skull of any known land animal (some azdharchid skulls were longer but lighter).
