This definitely forbidden gummy is in fact a moth larva of genus Olona (possibly Olona zolotuhini). It's *normal* to want to know what flavor it is, but the answer, unfortunately is "pain". Most species in this family are covered in tiny stinging spines connected to poison glands. (📷: Janice Ang)

(sound on for full effect) Chapman State Park near Clarendon, PA is home to Chapman Lake, which is home to a group of energetic North American river otters (Lontra canadensis) that like to host a midnight rave / leaf frolic. Not sure where they plug the speakers in.

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)

Karl's shell is also well-adapted to the Life Aquatic, with softer leathery skin like a freshwater softshell turtle, but with the high dome characteristic of ocean dwellers. But it's this last detail that I find most intriguing, and I'll let David Attenborough demonstrate it...

Native to Africa & Middle East, they're in superorder Afrotheria w elephants & manatee. The enlarged incisors are a close analog to elephant tusks & form the basis for their defense: wedge yourself in a rock & call for mama (or wawa?). They can produce 21 distinct vocalizations (all of them loud).

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.

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.

Here's a juvenile of the same species, showing their initial dark coloration. They're technically within the moray eel family (Muraenidae) & can be called 'leaf-nosed morays'. They're all born male. Hormonal switches cause gonads to develop to first male then female also change skin color.

Any parent knows "It takes a whole village to raise a child" is true because kids have TERRIBLE survival instincts & are constantly at risk of death. Elephant calves doubly so. So elephants have adopted a practice called ALLOPARENTING or allomothering. The entire herd takes responsibility.

You're looking at a Rainbow Tripod Fish (genus Bathypterois) observed on a blackwater dive near Cozumel, MX. This species demonstrates "ontogenetic vertical migration": young of this species mimic jellyfish near the surface, but descend in depth as they age. (📷: Frida Yolotzin, Blackwater Cozumel)
