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! 🦉🎂

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'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)

This surprising strategy could be a consequence of their incredible reproductive rate: A dozen offspring can be produced about every 16 days, females are fertile at 3 weeks old. Real-world tribbles! When colony sizes get large, the group will split & mass migrate, sometimes across bodies of water.

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.

Sassafras enjoys head scritches. To maintain silent flight, owls sacrifice standard waterproofing. Instead of using waterproof preening oil, they rely on specialized "powder down" feathers that crumble into a fine, water-repellent, and dirt-absorbing dust.

You're looking at an "Upside Down Jellyfish" (genus Cassiopea) & I think you can guess how they got their name. This is them most of the time: Not only tentacles up, but on the sea floor. But that's not the interesting thing. The interesting thing is they have no brain, but still can sleep.

Without alloparenting, the burden of raising the next generation to full independence would be heavy. Many hands, or *trunks* in this case, make light work. Elephants are highly empathetic: they engage in mutual play together, imitate each other's behavior. They even comfort each other in grief.

Van Weel: er zit een politiek motief achter de aanslag. “Je gooit wat bij een politieke partij naar binnen, dat doe je bewust en niet omdat je toevallig een cobra in je hand hebt. Het lijkt me heel sterk dat er wat anders achter zit dan een gerichte aanval op @d66.nl
