Imagine all these brehs being 2 feet tall :merchant: :sadcam:

This is actually impossible.

I looked it up once.

Bugs have an exoskeleton -- a skeleton on the outside of their bodies, which encloses their soft organs. If they were giant (or even significantly bigger) their bodies would be crushed under the weight of their own bones.

you don't see the irony in restoring a national park after a civil war?

what is EO wilson supposed to do over there? this is what he does. I'm sure if Mozambique was mad about this idea they would have not issued visas. Also the park is a revenue generating mechanism for the country
