Here's a slower version with a compact crocodilian. Note that the limbs are tucked to the body & the leverage comes from the neck and tail working against each other. This is purely instinctual & baby gators can do this from birth. It gets less cute as they grow 😬

They're a gregarious species, forming colonies of thousands in South American coastal range. The mustaches, made of specialized feathers, are found on both sexes, but longer & more luxuriant〰️ in males, a sign that the 'stash is involved in mating displays. (📷: Bronx Zoo)

Alligator teeth aren't especially sharp: they're optimized for high-force BITING, not chewing. There's no serrated edge for cutting/severing. So to get bite-sized pieces from larger prey, they use their 'death roll' behavior to pull off chunks small enough to swallow. Nature's blender goes brrr!🐊

Sassafras just turned 12, and celebrates with a mealworm snack. Eastern Screech Owls in captivity typically live to 20, with Wesley the Screech Owl at the Cornell Raptor program reaching 26. Many more, little buddy! 🦉🎂

It's only when they reach full maturity that egg production begins. We think this is selected for evolutionarily because the large, all-yellow females with their thicker bodies are capable of maximizing egg production that would be difficult in the slender, gracile males.

They're filter-feeders, swimming through freshwater, mouth open like a blue whale, feeding on phytoplankton that get caught in special structures at the back of their expansive mouths called gill rakers. They can grow to enormous size (7 ft, 200 lbs) in their very long lives (30-60 years).

Native to Africa & Middle East, they're in superorder Afrotheria w elephants & manatee. The enlarged incisors are a close analog to elephant tusks & form the basis for their defense: wedge yourself in a rock & call for mama (or wawa?). They can produce 21 distinct vocalizations (all of them loud).

It's World Bee Day! 🐝 This little Mason bee (genus Osmia) demonstrates exceptional strength & fortitude in removing a nail from a brick wall. Mason bees are solitary: the females make nests from mud or, in this case, masonry walls. So, our narrator should say: "good lass." (📷: MrDowner1306, YT)

Toby the African pygmy falcon (Polihierax semitorquatus) is taking a dust bath at the Cincinnati Zoo. Birds secrete oil from a uropygial gland ('preen gland') that is antimicrobial, conditions & adds waterproofing. A dust bath helps remove this oil so a fresh layer can be applied.

The long feather-covered wattle dangling under the neck helps the males to amplify their throaty "hoot" so that it carries through dense cloud forests, but it's mostly for showing off to the ladies. Groups of males gather in a 'lek' & take turns showing off their fluffed-up wattles.
