How can you even know when a jellyfish is sleeping? Is there snoring involved? Pajamas? Let's define sleep using three criteria: 1. Behavioral quiescence 2. Reduced response to stimuli 3. Active maintenance of this quiescent state Quiescence here meaning "quiet, at rest".

Think of space-time as a giant fabric. Gravity waves are ripples in that fabric caused by violent, high-energy events billions of light-years away. We're talking about colliding black holes, merging neutron stars, or massive exploding stars warping space itself.

Screech owls fully replace their feathers every year, usually in late summer & are known for "catastrophic" molting where they lose non-flight feathers in big patches all at once. So Sassafras here gets to go through an 'awkward haircut' phase for a few weeks every year.

This bird probably speaks French. It has strong opinions about the work of Salvador Dalí. Let's meet the Inca tern (Larosterna inca), so-named because their native range matches the area of the Inca Empire. We're going to HAVE to talk about that mustache first... (📷: San Diego Zoo & Safari Park)

Here's a juvenile of the same species, showing their initial dark coloration. They're technically within the moray eel family (Muraenidae) & can be called 'leaf-nosed morays'. They're all born male. Hormonal switches cause gonads to develop to first male then female also change skin color.

They emptied the jungles of native birds, including this handsome Guam kingfisher, called 'sihek' in the CHamoru language of the Mariana Islands. In 1988, it was declared 'Extinct in the Wild', but 29 surviving animals in zoos were enough to begin a conservation breeding program.

Specifically, they're employing 'aposematism' (threat display), rare in such a small animal. They also use their bold colors & loud noises to advertise THREAT & their response to larger animals is to run /towards/them. If cornered, they will attack with a surprising ferocity.

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).

To bounce back from the brink of extinction caused by the accidental introduction of invasive species required the cooperative efforts of zoos, conservationists & the indigenous people of Guam, the Chamorro, for whom the sihek has special cultural significance.

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)
