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.

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)

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.

You're looking at an "Upside Down Jellyfish" (genus Cassiopea) & I think you can guess how they got their name. This is them most of the time: Not only tentacles up, but on the sea floor. But that's not the interesting thing. The interesting thing is they have no brain, but still can sleep.

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)

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.

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.

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".

“They are disruptors… that is what they do” Geoff Aberdein looks back at Reform UK Scotland’s campaign for Holyrood and concludes that they have done a good job at breaking the system, even if they are not aiming for government quite yet.

“Conscientização não é aparecer depois da tragédia para surfar a primeira narrativa que aparece; é tentar evitar que a tragédia aconteça e ter paciência para esperar a verdade quando ela chega.” Rodrigo Goes foi perfeito nessa frase, e isso não vale só para a morte do Ganley, mas sim para tudo.
