Sassafras enjoys head scritches. To maintain silent flight, owls sacrifice standard waterproofing. Instead of using waterproof preening oil, they rely on specialized "powder down" feathers that crumble into a fine, water-repellent, and dirt-absorbing dust.

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.

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.

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)

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.

This is a video of a ribbon eel (Rhinomuraena quaesita) captured by Tjeerd Schone in waters near Padangbai, Bali in 2025. Every ribbon eel is born male, with jet black skin & transitions first to this colorful male, then to female - only when they've reached their max size. Let's talk about it.

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. 😞

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.

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.
