🚨 Triste nouvelle. À Tahiti, une baleine juvénile nommée "Sweet Girl" (gentille fille) est morte noyée, violemment percutée par un gros navire. Les deux tiers de sa mâchoire ont été arrachés. Elle était très curieuse et n’a jamais fait de mal à aucun plongeur.

Voici de magnifiques clichés de Sweet Girl et de son regard profond, pris par Rachel Moore, la plongeuse et photographe sous-marine qui la suivait. 🐳

Qu’elle repose en paix. 🕊️

"A lot of snakes and lizards were thought to be 'mute' or 'deaf' ,..turns out they could potentially be comm via vibrational signals using this sensory pathway instead, which really changes the way scientists have thought about animal perception overall."https://t.co/cyitsmNoZq

ICYMI: We’re de-horrifying sharks! 🦈

Sharks aren’t bloodthirsty killing machines, they’re just misunderstood. Don’t let Hollywood convince you otherwise.

A must read.
"If animals deserved the same consideration as humans, then we would find ourselves in a world in which billions of persons were living awful, almost unimaginably horrible lives. In which case, we might have to do something about it"

New research is showing that farm animals may be capable of much more than we think. The findings could offer insights into how domestication shaped their brains and could even change how we house and treat them.

Something I discovered just now: most mammals do not menstruate in the sense of bleeding when the lining of the uterus is shed. Instead, the lining of the uterus is reabsorbed.

@cedricsueur Je travaille sur une série documentaire consacrée à la culture animale, pourrions-nous échanger à ce sujet ?
