Dolly Parton on her Imagination Library program that Republicans defunded:

"[My daddy] was the smartest man I have ever known, but I knew [...] his inability to read probably kept him from seeing all of his dreams come true. Inspiring kids to love to read became my mission."

I am begging the people in the comment section to read an article on this.
These are solitary mining bees, Andrena regularis. These bees do not live in hives and do not produce honey. Dexterto is using a photo of Apis mellifera, the western honey bee, which is not correct.

This is what happens when we prioritize publicity bullshit rescues instead of actually changing the conditions that are killing whales

We "rescued" him after days of struggle into one of the world's busiest shipping corridors of course he died!

how is the axolotl so popular and yet no one cares that it’s effectively very near extinct in the wild

why aren’t we, as a global society, putting more pressure and effort into their conservation considering axolotls merch is *everywhere*

Gonna be so real with you here. Going to the zoo hits much harder when you recognize the animals on a more individual level and understand their individual differences. Take the time to chat with volunteers or keepers they offer a window into the individual lives of the animals.

Pleased to catch up with Lava Gull yesterday. A scarce species, endemic to Galapagos with a total population of less than 400 pairs.

Hello?!?!??!! Possible triplets (and SUCCESSFUL triplets, no less!!) in an obligate marine mammal?!?

[Chancellor! @cds_art_]

so incredibly frustrating that people cant wrap their heads around the importance of preserving deserts/plains/shrublands and not just the "pretty stuff" like forests. These are incredibly sensitive ecosystems

[꧁༒Lara༒꧂ 🇵🇸 in pinned @HimejoshiLover]

the worst thing that can happen to a small mammal is becoming popular enough that it gets sent to pet trade hell

Dear David Attenborough,

Congratulations on reaching your 100th lap around the sun, young man!

Thank you for sharing the wonders of our world with such care and curiosity.

Here’s to many more years, slow and steady wins the race!

With admiration,
Jonathan the Tortoise

It makes me sad that he’s been ringing the alarm of climate disaster for decades and everyone is just like ‘aw what a sweet old national treasure’ and ignoring him

I think one of the most underrated cases of convergent evolution is the Moorish Idol bodyplan.

All species here are completely unrelated from each other.
