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.

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)

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.

Fleas can jump 200 times their height & 150 times their length. The human equivalent would be the ability to jump over the Eiffel Tower. Let's talk about the specialized super-protein behind their leaps: RESILIN. (📷: Gregory Sutton, Univ of Lincoln, UK)

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.

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.

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.

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...

Here's a weird fact: the average temperature of all the water in the ocean is about 3.7°C (38.6°F), just a bit above freezing. Although SURFACE WATER temps average 20°C (68°F), including depths down to 200 meters, this is only 10% of total water. The other 90% of ocean water is DEEP & COLD.

During this phase, the collective organism starts acting as one & is able to respond (collectively) to its environment via chemotactic signals. And that's the part you're seeing as dog vomit, or pink toothpaste or wolf's milk.🤢 These are the brief periods when a bunch of amoebae join forces.

On average, cars are standing still over 90% of the time. And even when they are supposed to be driving, they are standing still a lot. So, done with standing still? Take the bike instead!

The myth of Christian genocide is so classic and so false. This is the classic example of using culture wars to incite real wars to increase popularity and military funding. Do not be fooled.

You’re not confused. You’re hooked. When attention shows up unpredictably, your brain stays engaged trying to figure out when it’s coming back.  It can feel intense, but that doesn’t mean it’s meaningful. Try slowing your response and paying attention to what’s consistent. #relationshipadvice

You are 100% right! As a society we must learn to listen without judgment. Match others' energy and only give back what they are willing to give you. We all must freely use our voice without restraint or limitation. What we have to say is important and due the respect it deserves. SPEAK UP!
