Do you know anything about the Faroe Islands? I might have the opportunity to go there in June.
I know roughly where they are, that it’s a good hiking destination and that there are puffins there! Also that they have an international football team, even if they are not strictly speaking a ‘country’.
There’s pretty horrific AI art of chimera like creatures that seem to mix parts from different animals and/or have their heads and tails on random sections of their bodies. This 3D art [video](https://youtu.be/KBzlkPS7ZUw?si=Xlb99PJslSHEvMhM) of a early chordate from the Cambrian period also kind of gives me the strange feeling that something about this animal is not right. The lack of eyes and a tadpole like tail that’s attached in a odd way gives off vibe that something is other worldly about this creature. They are a stem group that branched off our lineage (early fish like [this](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Haikouichthys) creature look like eels if you’re curious) before the skull developed.
