I agree?
I think they’re meant to express surprise or bewilderment here, which works imo
Hey! Ranking the species by distance is really unfair!
That makes the slugs even more impressive
I think slugs got tricked into thinking it was an endless surface and kept exploring it.
Well now we need the Möbius snail-exercise wheel to make this a reality
I think slugs will follow a slime trail, so maybe they are just following the infinite slime trail.
I need to put some wheels in my garden
Here is an article about it: https://www.zmescience.com/ecology/animals-ecology/hamster-wheel-running-nature-repubz/
Thanks, the picture was way too far into the Jpeg realm
Free Wheely!
Animals have Free Wheel
Getting in shape for mating season
Think of the energy that could be generated this way
I’m imagining a Bjenny Montero cartoon, where the cartoon frog character is running on the wheel and the cartoon slug character standing next to it says “Hey! Quit hogging the wheel! I want a go.”
Have you ever seen a human size wheel? They are pretty fun so I totally get it
slug enters the wheel
training montage music starts
Wait until corporations find out there are animals that want to do free labor and you don't have to feed them.
I have gerbils. Some of them love it and some couldn't care less. For one it took over 6 months of watching her sister and just sitting in it to figure out how it works. Once she did, there was no end to it.
Aww, no turtles? Come on, turtles, you're so much faster than slugs and snails, go have a walk and demolish those distance figures! 🐢
It would be really surprising to see turtles on the wheel, considering there are no wild turtles in the Netherlands.
Sure, there aren't wild turtles in the Netherlands. But this call was aimed at the turtles in general, worldwide! Turtles will be able to get to the Netherlands from the nearest location. Eventually. We believe in them!
I admire your positive outlook and confidence in turtles
Something
Hermit crabs love them too!
