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 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)

This is Karl the Fly River turtle (Carettochelys insculpta) at the San Antonio Zoo, enjoying his bubbler. Fly River turtles are also known as pig-nosed turtles, or 'Warrajan' in the Kundjeyhmi language of Northern Australia, where they are native. Let's talk about what makes Karl's species unique.

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 😬

During this phase, the collective organism starts acting as one & is able to respond (collectively) to its environment via chemotactic signals. And that's the part you're seeing as dog vomit, or pink toothpaste or wolf's milk.🤢 These are the brief periods when a bunch of amoebae join forces.

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).

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.

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.

False dichotomy.

Fleas can jump 200 times their height & 150 times their length. The human equivalent would be the ability to jump over the Eiffel Tower. Let's talk about the specialized super-protein behind their leaps: RESILIN. (📷: Gregory Sutton, Univ of Lincoln, UK)

U.S. Army veteran Jon Gundersen on Trump's Arc: "It's a little ironic that somebody who avoided service with daddy's rich help talks about honoring veterans. If you honor veterans, you do it the right way…It's got to go through the congress."

Happy to see @aprildryan.bsky.social on Bluesky (I haven’t seen her for the last couple years) and this new interview w/ @governor.ca.gov @gavinnewsom.bsky.social is really good. I’ve said all along that if KDH decides to run in 2028, he likely will not.

The FAU defense is bending, but not breaking. Awesome play by DB Justin Weatherall to jump the route and secure the INT, continuing a great spring for him. #FAU #CFB

Big corporations have way too much power in America today, and the President has doubled down on it by filling up their coffers and giving them a seat at the table in decisions of war and peace. This is an outrage, and in Congress I’m working to bring the power back where it belongs: We the People.

💔 In Kyiv, a mother lost her leg while trying to reach shelter with her children during Russia’s attack. Her 3-year-old son was wounded. Her 4-year-old survived with bruises. These are not military targets. These are families trying to survive the night.

Everything here is so impressive. Focusing on the subtle details. Simple, but coming behind Teaira McCowan to give her an outlet to start it. Snaking around McCowan, filthy tween cross to get by an agressive DeWanna Bonner. Continuing to snake, and finding McCowan's rim run.
