(sound on for full effect) Chapman State Park near Clarendon, PA is home to Chapman Lake, which is home to a group of energetic North American river otters (Lontra canadensis) that like to host a midnight rave / leaf frolic. Not sure where they plug the speakers in.

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."

The filmmakers of 1958 Disney documentary "White Wilderness" imported lemmings to a location in Canada & forced them over a cliff, creating an enduring myth of lemmings driven to suicide. But the Norway lemming (Lemmus lemmus) has a new take on that myth: They go Viking BESERKER.

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.

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 😬

Here's what that looks like in motion. Green indicates the original trajectory. The profound finding here is that 'self-propelled, wave-like biological locomotion can be understood through the physical wave-equation frameworks', which has implications for robotic locomotion design.

Here's a weird fact: the average temperature of all the water in the ocean is about 3.7°C (38.6°F), just a bit above freezing. Although SURFACE WATER temps average 20°C (68°F), including depths down to 200 meters, this is only 10% of total water. The other 90% of ocean water is DEEP & COLD.

You might be asking: Why does this Dramatic Groundhog have FANGS? Because it's a rock hyrax (Procavia capensis) and those aren't fangs, they're TUSKS, because this furry potato at the San Antonio Zoo is one of the closest living relatives of elephants. Let's learn about them.

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)

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.

The Iranian people are showing extraordinary courage as they stand up to a brutal and determined regime. They are living the Live Free or Die spirit that I see in NH every day. But if the President decides to use military force and put lives at risk, he must come to the Congress first.

An anti-Christ isn’t just against Christ — it’s against His message of mercy over vengeance, humility over might, love over pride, and peace over power. It claims Christ yet mocks His Sermon on the Mount. It isn’t just about denying Jesus — it’s about denying what He taught on that hillside.
