  • I have not thought that I may be the only one to notice intentional human made instances of forgotten beauty, though it is an interesting idea. I do often think the beauty of certain aspects of nature is frequently overlooked, though… not your basic flowers or classically beautiful things, but the beauty of death and resilience and futility.













  • There are types of freshwater river dolphins in the Yangtze (well, one of these species probably is extinct there as of recently but still) and the Amazon, for example. Sea dolphins can survive in freshwater for awhile but their skin isn’t adapted to it, and it will get damaged eventually. That and the difference in buoyancy in sea water vs freshwater leads to the sea dolphins eventually getting exhausted in freshwater.
