The Indian pangolin, thick-tailed pangolin, or scaly anteater (Manis crassicaudata) is a pangolin found on the Indian subcontinent. It is not common anywhere in its range. Like other pangolins, it has large, overlapping scales on its body which act as armour. It can also curl itself into a ball as self-defence against predators such as the tiger. The colour of its scales varies depending on the colour of the earth in its surroundings.
It is an insectivore, feeding on ants and termites, digging them out of mounds and logs using its long claws, which are as long as its fore limbs. It is nocturnal and rests in deep burrows during the day.
The Indian pangolin is threatened by hunting for its meat and for various body parts used in traditional medicine.
The Indian pangolin is a solitary, shy, slow-moving, nocturnal mammal. It is about 84–122 centimetres (33–48 in) long from head to tail, the tail usually being 33–47 cm long, and weighs 10–16 kg. Females are generally smaller than the males and have one pair of mammae. The pangolin possesses a cone-shaped head with small, dark eyes, and a long muzzle with a nose pad similar in color, or darker than, its pinkish-brown skin. It has powerful limbs, tipped with sharp, clawed digits. It is an almost exclusive insectivore and principally subsists on ants and termites, which it catches with a specially adapted long, sticky tongue.The pangolin has no teeth, but has strong stomach muscles to aid in digestion. The most noticeable characteristic of the pangolin is its massive, scaled armour, which covers its upper face and its whole body with the exception of the belly and the inside of the legs. These protective scales are rigid and made of keratin. It has 160–200 scales in total, about 40–46% of which are located on the tail. Scales can be 6.5–7 cm long, 8.5 cm wide, and weigh 7–10 grams. The skin and scales make up about one-fourth to one-third of the total body mass of this species.
The Indian pangolin has been recorded from various forest types, including Sri Lankan rainforest and plains to middle hill levels. The animal can be found in grasslands and secondary forests, and is well adapted to desert regions as it is believed to have a tolerance to dry areas, but prefers more barren, hilly regions. This pangolin species may also sometimes reach high elevations, and has been sighted in Sri Lanka at 1100 meters and in the Nilgiri mountains in India at 2300 meters. It prefers soft and semi-sandy soil conditions suitable for digging burrows.
Pangolin burrows fall into one of two categories: feeding and living burrows. Feeding burrows are smaller than living burrows (though their sizes vary depending on the abundance of prey) and are created more frequently during the spring, when there is a greater availability of prey. Living burrows are wider, deeper, and more circular, and are occupied for a longer time than feeding burrows, as they are mainly used to sleep and rest during the day. After a few months, the pangolin abandons the burrow and digs a new one close to a food source. However, it is not uncommon for the pangolin to shift back to an old burrow.
Unlike its African counterpart, the Indian pangolin does not climb trees, but it does value the presence of trees, herbs, and shrubs in its habitat because it is easier to dig burrows around them. Features that promote an abundance of ants and termites (grasses, bare grounds, bases of trees, shrubs, roots, leaf litter, fallen logs and elephant feces) are often present in pangolin habitats.
Few details are known about the breeding behaviour of the Indian pangolin. During the animal's mating period, females and males may share the same burrow and show some diurnal activities. Males have testes in a fold of the skin located in their groin areas. The female's embryo develops in one of the uterine horns. The gestation period lasts 65–70 days; the placenta is diffuse and not deciduate. Usually, a single young is born, but twins have been reported in this species. The young weigh 235–400 g at birth and measure roughly 30 cm. The newborn animals have open eyes, and soft scales with protruding hairs between them. The mother pangolin carries her young on her tail. When the mother and young are disturbed, the young pangolin is held against its mother's belly and protected by the mother's tail.
A muggy morning in the summer of 2013 finds 23 cars worth of Q339 being pulled out of the east siding at South Deshler with CSXT 8098 providing all the necessary muscle. I offer this as a submission for "Forty Friday" for more than just the obvious reason. The 8098 was built in 1980, making 2020 its 40th birthday. However, I can't find any photos of it more recent than 2016, so I have to assume its rotting in a deadline somewhere, or worse...
Pure determination and pure muscle doing everything possible to throw the cowboy off her back. The horses viewpoint.
Personally, I’m more biased towards the ‘69-70 Chargers, but the ‘71-72 models resonates with me just as much. I remember seeing these when I was little (these were manufactured before my time), and I was always infatuated with the muscle cars of the 60s and 70s, and the stories that owners of these vehicles have to tell are mesmerizing to say the very least. I was also more biased towards Plymouth in my younger days (my first two cars were from Plymouth), but the legacy the Charger has remains indescribable, at least to me. Again, I don’t know why, but these particular Chargers were just as drawn to me as their predecessors.

Dodge Charger R/T
Production period 1968/1970.
Dodge Chargers are a great choice for a muscle car restoration project.
Aside from the base 318ci V8, the 383ci motor was offered in both two or four-barrel versions, producing 290 and 330 horsepower, respectively.
On the top of the engine option list was the 375 horsepower 440 Magnum and the legendary 426 Hemi.
Thanks for your Views Faves and Comments, have a Great Week. 🌞✌
Union Depot Train Days 2022 started off right with the ever-popular night photo shoot.
This year, 7 locomotives (a train days record) were in attendance. The stars of the show of course were the SD45s sent down from Duluth, including GN 400, the Hustle Muscle.
The last time I saw Hustle Muscle she was awaiting a new SD45-2 engine to replace the old one that suffered a broken crankshaft. It was around this time that GNRHS elected to have 400 leave MTM's Jackson Street Roundhouse and return to Duluth, where it had been for much of its time pre-Millenium but post-retirement from BN.
The scene is complete with an illuminated "1st" sign, a popular background feature at many night shoots at SPUD. It's fitting, as GN 400 was the first locomotive to be displayed at Union Depot during the first "Train Days" in 2014 (not to mention the 1st production SD45).
To date, Hustle Muscle has made three appearances at Union Depot Train Days, tied-most with Milwaukee Road 32A, which was also in attendance this year.
A personal thank you to everyone involved to make Union Depot Train Days 2022 happen. Haven't missed a Train Days yet, hoping the streak will continue. Also thanks to Steve Glischinski & Chris Guss for organizing another phenomenal night photo shoot.
Most heroes are brave only until they realize they are the prey, not the hunter. Then the fear in your heart becomes the most dangerous monster of all.

My husband was in the hospital 4-3-06 (Baylor Hospital, Dallas, TX), and the construction going on outside his window (3rd floor) was fascinating. These guys are risk-takers!
Persistence is the fuel that nourishes a strong man, it makes him remain firm in pursuit of his goals and never give up on his dreams and achievements.
Along Mealabost beach there is a rocky escarpment which extends into the sea. At low tide it's fully exposed and amongst the seaweed are piles of broken shells. In one or two places the sea hasn't managed to entirely smash the shells and there's this wide selection of colours, patterns and shapes.
Note, July 2015: I have been back to the same spot many times since this shot was taking and I've never seen this many intact beautiful shells in one area again.
As we filed through the Forbidden City in Beijing, off to one side I notice this business like muscle machine and had to have a photo.
The Pontiac GTO, often considered the first true muscle car, became an instant legend with its powerful V8 engine and bold design. With its iconic “GTO” badge, the car represented a new era of performance and set the stage for the muscle car movement.
Fun Fact: The GTO stands for “Gran Turismo Omologato,” a nod to its heritage as a high-performance homologation model.

DISCLAIMER:
Because of a few current Second Life limitations in the Rendering department, you WILL see some horizontal seams on the Experimental versions due to the material splitting so they'd work with the Alpha HUD. That is why I made 2 versions for each arm. One with and one without alpha divisions.
This issue will be fixed once PBR comes out and the new rendering system is introduced.
The Slim version is made for both those who think the original size is too large and to better fit clothes.
In my day the only AI I knew was "Artificial Insemination"....for cows. Now it stands for bullshit stories.
Now, Strontian’s a quiet enough wee place, tucked between the mountains and the loch, where the mist rolls down like a sigh from the hills. But it wasn’t quiet the weekend Brad the Bull took the huff.
Brad was a grand beast — black as peat, broad as a boat, and with a temper that could curdle cream. He belonged to Maureen MacGuinness, crofter, knitter of questionable jumpers, and wielder of words that could melt the varnish off a church pew. For years, Brad had strutted about Maureen’s croft like he was king of Ardgour itself — and maybe he was, in his own hooved head.
But one spring morning, the livestock inspector came round with a clipboard and a smirk and said,
“Maureen, regulations are regulations. Brad’s not to sire any more calves this season. Something about... lineage management.”
Well, Maureen took it in stride — but Brad didn’t. His great shaggy head drooped, his horns glinted with indignation, and his bellow echoed off the braes like thunder looking for trouble. Before anyone could stop him, he’d turned tail and stomped off into the Ariundle oakwoods, breaking a fence or three just to make a point.
Maureen, standing by the river with her apron flapping in the wind, cupped her hands and shouted up the glen:
“Brad MacBovidae, you stubborn lump of muscle! If you don’t come home by seven o’clock tonight, I’ll turn you to granite and moss, so help me!”
Now, anyone else might’ve thought twice — Maureen was known to dabble in what she called “practical enchantment” (and what others called “odd things with peat ash and moonlight”). But Brad? He just snorted. He was a bull, after all. What did bulls care for witchy words and bedtime threats?
So he wandered deeper into the woods, grumbling to himself about injustice and cows and the general unfairness of human meddling. The oaks closed around him, whispering secrets older than crofting itself. Evening came, the sun bled gold over the loch, and Maureen’s words began to hum in the air like midges at dusk.
At exactly seven o’clock — give or take a moo — the forest went still. A wind rose, strange and low, and Brad froze mid-step, his eyes wide, his breath caught. His hooves rooted into the earth. His hide turned cold and hard. Moss crept over him, soft and green. By dawn, where once stood the proudest bull in Lochaber, there was only a shape of stone — proud, defiant, and staring forever toward the hills he’d never climb.
Locals still point him out on walks through Ariundle, half-hidden among the oaks, his horns like grey crescents in the lichen. Some say if you stand there at sunset, you can still hear him snort — a gust of wind through moss and myth.
And so, when the old wives tell their tales by the fire, they always end with a wink and a warning:
“Mind your manners and your Maureens, or you’ll end up like Brad the Bull — too proud to listen, and too stony to complain. Do you see him, covered in moss on the left?
That's one seriously muscle-bound insect! By comparison, humans have just 629 muscles in a considerably larger body.
The caterpillar's head capsule alone consists of 248 individual muscles, and about 70 muscles control each body segment. Remarkably, each of the 4,000 muscles is innervated by one or two neurons.
Caterpillars have 12 eyes.
On each side of its head, a caterpillar has 6 tiny eyelets, called stemmata, arranged in a semi-circle. One of the 6 eyelets is usually offset a bit, and located closer to the antennae. You would think an insect with 12 eyes would have excellent eyesight, but that's not the case. The stemmata serve merely to help the caterpillar differentiate between light and dark. If you watch a caterpillar, you'll notice it sometimes moves its head from side to side. This most likely helps it judge depths and distances.
