"Coconuts as Mammals" gets Tumblr Started on Animal Classification


Tumblr user says a coconut is a mammal and starts discussion on classifying different animals | just-shower-thoughts Mammals both produce milk and have hair. Ergo coconut is mammal. maliwanhellfires know being facetious, but this is an actual issue with morphology-based phylogeny.

Tumblr discussions have the tendency to rewrite things you felt were pretty well defined, and add some creativity into the mix. With a group of people with so much time on their hands and an interest in animals, you end up with stuff like like this Tumblr thread on how cats became domesticated. For some goofy animal creation jokes, here are funny tweets about god making animals.
