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...

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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)

There are a million better reasons to loathe Kristi Noem, but I'm petty enough to add the insertion of the term "bimbofication" into my mental lexicon. (The fetish itself neither arouses or repulses me, TBH.) But damn, you don't have to kink shame to find the heterosexual lifestyle freaky AF.
