Deep currents can move this cold water without mixing with the warm surface ocean, producing 'thermohaline circulation' The Antarctic Circumpolar Current (ACC) moves 100 times as much water as all the rivers on Earth at a speed of 2 knots, extending from the surface to the deepest water.

The 'global winter' produced by airborne ash & smoke would have been particularly devastating for animals already hungry & planning for a summer of bountiful foraging, probably magnifying the extinctions caused. And the paddlefish, at least those not buried in ash in North Dakota, kept on swimming.

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)

To bounce back from the brink of extinction caused by the accidental introduction of invasive species required the cooperative efforts of zoos, conservationists & the indigenous people of Guam, the Chamorro, for whom the sihek has special cultural significance.

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! 🦉🎂

The long feather-covered wattle dangling under the neck helps the males to amplify their throaty "hoot" so that it carries through dense cloud forests, but it's mostly for showing off to the ladies. Groups of males gather in a 'lek' & take turns showing off their fluffed-up wattles.

It's World Bee Day! 🐝 This little Mason bee (genus Osmia) demonstrates exceptional strength & fortitude in removing a nail from a brick wall. Mason bees are solitary: the females make nests from mud or, in this case, masonry walls. So, our narrator should say: "good lass." (📷: MrDowner1306, YT)

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.

This little guy is being hand-raised by zoo staff after being rejected by his mother, but he's already got the hang of the hunt. 🐯 Adults weigh only 3-5 lbs, can travel 20 miles in a single night, can leap 5 ft in the air. You can check him out if you happen to be in Waco: www.cameronparkzoo.com

Under polarized light, as in this video by ​Chloé Savard (Tardibabe, IG), raphides show "birefringent properties", meaning they split the light into component colors, like a crystalline prism, which is essentially what they are. And you're putting THIS on your pizza, folks. 😞

A US Army unit asked to bulk up medical support weeks before the fatal Iranian strike on their command post in Kuwait, but they were ignored‼️ Pete Hegseth is entirely unfit to lead‼️

Tim, thank you for saying what needed to be said. Every word was true. Keep speaking up. This man wraps himself in religion while practicing none of its values, and his audacity in attacking the Pope, after demanding that religious leaders be left alone, exposes exactly the kind of hypocrite he is.
