The @britishlibrary #Animals exhibition is a natural wonder. From medieval bestiaries to immortal jellyfish! Truly enjoyable.

A gorilla showing its baby to people proves animals can sense human feelings and compare them with their own mental state. Kind interactions bring out the best. 🙏🪄

Still in good shape. I'm proud of all my poetry books but this one is special. @Lizpoet @SueHardyDawson @HannahTheEditor

A glimpse of two manes in the darkness.

Lions do most of their hunting at night as their eyes have adapted to the dark and this gives them a huge advantage over their prey. They also hunt more during storms as the noise and wind make it harder for prey to see and hear them.

The poet Khalil Gibran said “Trees are poems that the earth writes upon the sky.” I love the idea of trees as poetry. Look at this magnificent, sublime tree in the Great Dismal Swamp. I wonder what wisdom lies within it? (photo by John Henley)

Even surrounded by thick vegetation, gorillas are very selective feeders! Gorillas use their hands and teeth to quickly separate out the tastiest parts of each plant and discard the rest!

Yes please

What a coincidence, I purchased this yesterday at W_stonesThanet from Liam the bookseller.

[Susie Bassett @SusanBassettUK]

I agree. I found this immensely helpful too

[Children's Fantasy Writer @BevRigden]

Gorillas at number one. Love it!

As far as I’m concerned, this list is still accurate

[Sheldrick Wildlife Trust @SheldrickTrust]

For orphan baby rhinos, nothing is as magical as a mattress – not to sleep on, but to sleep under! Adored by Apollo in his youth, and by little Raha now, these mattress forts offer a feeling of security, perhaps reminiscent of sleeping beneath their mother's belly in the wild.
