This is Karl the Fly River turtle (Carettochelys insculpta) at the San Antonio Zoo, enjoying his bubbler. Fly River turtles are also known as pig-nosed turtles, or 'Warrajan' in the Kundjeyhmi language of Northern Australia, where they are native. Let's talk about what makes Karl's species unique.

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)

Toby the African pygmy falcon (Polihierax semitorquatus) is taking a dust bath at the Cincinnati Zoo. Birds secrete oil from a uropygial gland ('preen gland') that is antimicrobial, conditions & adds waterproofing. A dust bath helps remove this oil so a fresh layer can be applied.

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.

You might be asking: Why does this Dramatic Groundhog have FANGS? Because it's a rock hyrax (Procavia capensis) and those aren't fangs, they're TUSKS, because this furry potato at the San Antonio Zoo is one of the closest living relatives of elephants. Let's learn about them.

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.

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...

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)

Alligator teeth aren't especially sharp: they're optimized for high-force BITING, not chewing. There's no serrated edge for cutting/severing. So to get bite-sized pieces from larger prey, they use their 'death roll' behavior to pull off chunks small enough to swallow. Nature's blender goes brrr!🐊

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.

Part 3 of the Planning Bill weakens protections for nature and hands power to developers. I signed 38 Tory amendments to stop it — and they still backed down. That’s not opposition. That’s cowardice. #ProtectNature #DontTrusttheTories

Ukraine: Hostage rescue operation led by a drone successfully eliminated Russian fascists and freed two Ukrainian soldiers. Russians panicked upon hearing the drone and fled, abandoning their prisoners. Russians were eliminated in quick order and Ukrainian soldiers were rescued.

"Dark horses" and "timing." Cute. The real leadership race nobody's running? Crown costs £138m. Child poverty tripled. Farage's £5m lie. That's the dark horse. And no one's mentioning it. 🎭👑

"Plug-in solar can be a cheap, quick, effective way of reducing your electricity bills," businessman and clean energy expert Chris Goodall told Times Radio. The government will relax rules on the self-installed panels, which can save up to £110 off consumer bills according to officials.

Most industries are commoditized. Being “good” isn’t enough. The way out is a clear niche and a proprietary approach that only you offer. That’s what makes you stand out and win.

Remembering Amy Winehouse: August 8, 2007, she overdosed on a mix of alcohol, heroin, cocaine, ecstasy, and ketamine after a London pub crawl, leading to the cancellation of her first U.S. tour. Her struggles and refusal to enter rehab inspired her iconic song "Rehab." #AmyWinehouse #Legend

@thefrankaccount.bsky.social 1 Q: Why does the #PrivacyNarrative about #Harry & #Meghan persist? A: #Presstitudes in the #TBM use a non-existent request for PRIVACY as a cudgel to criticize H&M by accusing them of hypocrisy which implies DISHONESTY. The #TBM sets itself up as truth tellers vs H&M.
