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.

It's only when they reach full maturity that egg production begins. We think this is selected for evolutionarily because the large, all-yellow females with their thicker bodies are capable of maximizing egg production that would be difficult in the slender, gracile males.

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. 😞

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".

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)

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.

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."

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)

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.

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.

De opvoeding zodanig inrichten dat er geen tijd meer is voor de ouders om hun kinderen te indoctrineren, een staatsopvoeding, wordt onontkoombaar.

Dave Min: "Pam Bondi claimed documents related to any decisions to prosecute or not were being withheld. There's a reason we don't have the smoking guns, the videos, the witness interviews, because they're claiming that's all privileged. It's a sham. They're not answering any questions."
