The Green Broadbill is such a cute little guy, and he does such a convincing impression of brilliant emerald green that I'm willing to just play along. But in my heart of hearts, I know I'm looking at a yellow bird who likes to *pretend* to be Kermit-colored.

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.

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).

Shag carpeting was an experimentally-easier analog for the sand of the snake's home. Soft, bendable pegs simulate a barrier. The snake's eyes are temporarily covered. Snakes move on a path that intercepts the barrier & the result is "reminiscent of matter-wave diffraction of subatomic particles."

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.

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.

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.

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)

When these cosmic ripples pass through Earth, they stretch & squeeze everything, including the laser & detectors on their long tracks. But the movement is incredibly tiny. LIGO must measure a change in its 2.5-mile arms smaller than one-ten-thousandth the width of a single proton.

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 😬

“In 2025, these data center protests successfully stalled over $100 billion worth of these facilities,” says journalist @karenhao.bsky.social. Hao adds that so many communities are able to mobilize because the issue “really does cut across political lines.”

Washington HITS Iran, then acts OFFENDED when Iran touches the leverage Washington forced it to use. The US wants Iran to absorb attacks, bury its dead, lose its leaders — and still keep the Strait of Hormuz open like nothing happened. You don’t get to light the fire and complain about the smoke.
