Eat, Slay, Wear Blood Of 📸by @kritiwaliaphotography Drenched in the sanguine fluid of her latest kill, this lioness wears the evidence of her brutal trade like a grisly badge of honor. Per 100ml, just the blood obtained from a fresh kill contains 15-20g of hemoglobin, which translates to roughly 15-20g of protein, primarily amino acids for muscle repair and growth. Blood is about 80-90% water, making it highly hydrating for a predator hunting in arid regions where water is scarce. This hydration, combined with nutrients like iron (about 0.5mg per 100ml), sodium, potassium, and traces of vitamin B12, can sustain a predator when prey is their only source of irrigation. A liter of animal blood yields 80-100 kcal, offering quick energy. For predators, consuming blood from a fresh kill can be a lifeline, delivering critical hydration, protein and micronutrients to keep them going until they can quench themselves with a proper drink. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Nature Is Metal is powered by you!

哈勃太空望远镜

📍 NGC 1385 This Hubble view shows a gorgeous galaxy about 30 million light-years away. Hubble holds a range of filters – several of which were used to build this image. These highly specialized filters are pieces of physical hardware that allow a range of wavelengths or very specific wavelengths of light to enter the telescope, helping astronomers learn what elements are present, the temperature, and more. For more information, check out the link in our bio! Image description: A spiral galaxy. It has several arms that appear mixed together, yet it has an overall oval shape. The center of the galaxy glows brightly. There are bright pink patches and filaments of dark red dust spread across the galaxy’s center. Image credit: ESA/Hubble & NASA, R. Chandar, J.
