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.

When these cosmic ripples pass through Earth, they stretch & squeeze everything, including the laser & detectors on their long tracks. But the movement is incredibly tiny. LIGO must measure a change in its 2.5-mile arms smaller than one-ten-thousandth the width of a single proton.

It's this protein that makes possible what Weis-Fogh called "clap and fling" insect flight: motion at incredible speed with almost perfect recoil, generating almost no heat. It's also at the root of our little flea's jumping super-powers. Humans don't make resilin, but we're trying to fix that...

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.

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.

The Green Broadbill is such a cute little guy, and he does such a convincing impression of brilliant emerald green that I'm willing to just play along. But in my heart of hearts, I know I'm looking at a yellow bird who likes to *pretend* to be Kermit-colored.

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.

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.

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.

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! 🦉🎂
