This viral video clip captured by Dean Boshoff of a desert rain frog (Breviceps macrops) highlights one aspect of their behavior: Their terrifying WAR CRY or alarm cry. (sound on) Let's learn a bit more about this African frog that lives along the sandy desert coast along Namibia & South Africa.

Cameron Park Zoo in Waco TX has a new black-footed cat kitten (Felis nigripes). It's exploring grass for the 1st time here. This species is the smallest wild cat in Africa, but with the highest hunting success (~60%). They eat 1/6th their body weight in rodents & birds every night.

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)

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)

Can I interest you in a moist owlette as a timeline cleanse? This is Sassafras the Eastern Screech Owl from the Cincinnati Zoo (@cincinnatizoo.bsky.social, but via their FB) and I love him very much. Eastern Screech Owls (Megascops asio) are native to eastern North America.

Fleas can jump 200 times their height & 150 times their length. The human equivalent would be the ability to jump over the Eiffel Tower. Let's talk about the specialized super-protein behind their leaps: RESILIN. (📷: Gregory Sutton, Univ of Lincoln, UK)

This is Karl the Fly River turtle (Carettochelys insculpta) at the San Antonio Zoo, enjoying his bubbler. Fly River turtles are also known as pig-nosed turtles, or 'Warrajan' in the Kundjeyhmi language of Northern Australia, where they are native. Let's talk about what makes Karl's species unique.

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).

The brown treesnake has no predators, a voracious appetite for birds/eggs & populations exploded to 2 million. Today, there are 10 times as many snakes as people on Guam. Thomas Seibert captured this video of their ability to climb nest boxes designed to be snake-proof, by looping their body.

Big news on energy market reform today. As we deliver the transition to clean, secure, renewable power, it’s vital we build a system that works for households and business, not profiteers. Today’s announcement shows the Government is determined to deliver exactly that ✅

As temperatures climbed above 30°C across parts of Europe over the weekend, even zoo animals sought relief from the late-May heatwave. A video shared by the Berlin Zoo shows its resident tigers taking a cool dip in the water, offering a rare glimpse of the big cats enjoying a refreshing swim.

Ahead of the latest homelessness figures, the Taoiseach again pointed to the proportion of people from outside Ireland living in emergency accommodation. Opposition parties hit back, branding the comments a "disgrace" and arguing they distract from the wider issues. #VMNews

Earlier this year I saw for myself the incredible work which the Hospital at Home team from the John Radcliffe Hospital do. I was shocked to hear that their funding is now being cut and asked the Government how this was compatible with their transition to community care.

#qldpol ...government. Now, had something like this occurred pre-2024 Qld election it would have been reported completely differently. Before we knew anything, the LNP would be in full Labor-blame mode & the media would be broadcasting "youth crime crisis" right across Qld.

I just watched a drone explode over Maidan at 9 a.m.,, debris is raining down over Freedom Square. Flying drones over a city centre is indiscriminate terror. While the rest of the world starts Monday morning getting ready for work, Ukrainians have to head to bomb shelters.
