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.

Look again! That's a common baron caterpillar (Euthalia aconthea) sitting on its favorite food source, a mango leaf. This little guy, native to India & Sri Lanka, has perfect camouflage so long as it stays perfectly centered on the leaf's midrib. (📷: SatyamRajput004)

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".

The Long-wattled Umbrellabird (Cephalopterus penduliger) are the weirdest birds, from pompadour/mohawk to long fleshy neck-tie shaped wattle that converts to a feather duster on command. Native to the Pacific coasts of Ecuador & Colombia, these extraordinary accessories are mostly found in males.

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.

This is a video of a ribbon eel (Rhinomuraena quaesita) captured by Tjeerd Schone in waters near Padangbai, Bali in 2025. Every ribbon eel is born male, with jet black skin & transitions first to this colorful male, then to female - only when they've reached their max size. Let's talk about it.

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.

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.

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.

'Allo' from Greek for "other." The other 'mothers' can be female siblings, aunts, or even unrelated females. They protect & tend to the baby, comfort it, teach it life skills, even nurse it in some cases. And baby elephant calves seem to be constantly in peril.

This is actually remarkably in character for Ruby. (@Raichana.bsky.social owns Ariel!)
