slumbermancer:
basically, i think the general rule of thumb is: if someone REALLY wants the blood that’s inside of your body, and they’re like… a vampire, or a dracula, or some sort of mansquito, then that’s probably okay. a dracula and a mansquito are made for removing things like blood and swords from inside your body. that’s basically fine.
if something wants to get at your blood, and they’re, say, some kind of murdersaurus, or maybe a really big frog, that’s where the problems start to arise. a really frog is not made for removing blood, and your blood knows this, which is why it is so vehement about wanting to stay IN your body instead of coming out.
unfortunately this will not deter a really big frog, because a really big frog is full of things like prizes, and value, and quite a lot of hatred, and it would REALLY rather like to replace any and all of those things with your blood, and basically by any means possible.
These words scan with a fantastic degree of confidence considering that together they make no sense at all

Guys they reintroduced Galapagos tortoises to espanola island and they’ve essentially terraformed their environment, knocking over invasive plants so that endangered albatrosses (who need space to take off using the ground as a runway) have returned and established nests!
Galapagos giant tortoises are restoring their own ecosystem
A decades-long project to reintroduce Galapagos giant tortoises is changing the face of the island of Española.
Popular Science
https://www.popsci.com/environment/galapagos-giant-tortoises-ecosystem-conservation/
Some key details from the articles:
In the 1960’s, the tortoise population on this particular island–Española–was down to 14 tortoises.
Those individuals–two males and twelve females–were taken to a sanctuary on the nearby island of Santa Cruz, where they were encouraged to be fruitful and multiply.
Another male tortoise living in a zoo was identified as being from this island, and joined the group at the sanctuary, increasing the diversity of the gene pool.
Because Galapagos tortoises live so long–over a century–the reintroduction involved not only the offspring born at the sanctuary, but also the original 14 tortoises, and the guy from the zoo. After half a century, they took their children and grandchildren home.
Also,
“Galapagos giant tortoises spend about 16 hours per day resting and the remaining hours snacking on grasses, fruits and cactus pads.” Mood.
The reintroduction project for Española is now in its end stage, with all the tortoises back on their home island, free-roaming and reproducing on the their own. (The total population is about 3,000). However, the sanctuary continues to work with tortoises from other islands (because of their isolation, each island’s population is its own subspecies).

Academy Award Winners for Best Cinematography:
2004 — Russell Boyd, ACS, ASC
Master and Commander: The Far Side of the World (2003)
Directed by Peter Weir
Aspect Ratio: 2.39 : 1
“Master and Commander — gee, that was a hard film to make. There is no easy film, of course, but Master was very demanding physically — because of the water, even though a lot of it was shot in the tank in Mexico that had been built for Titanic. Peter Weir once said to me — and I’ll never forget it — he said, ‘Come on and do a film of mine, and I’ll take you on an adventure.’ And he does!”
— Russell Boyd for The American Society of Cinematographers, February 2018
