Madagascar has been isolated for about 88 million years and is home to an abundance of plants and animals found nowhere else on Earth: 90% them are found only there.
It literally looks like another world.

Photographer Daniel Biber from Hilzingen, Germany was trying to capture the murmuration of starlings for 4 days when he finally succeeded.
He just didn't realize the starlings had created a giant bird in the sky until he got home and reviewed the pictures.
One pretty cool geological fun fact is that the Appalachian Mountains, the Atlas Mountains, the Scottish Highlands, the Watkins Range and Scandinavian Mountains were all once part of the same mountain range, the Central Pangean Mountains

The human body is an amazing machine, but don’t forget that nature wants 5 of your 7 children dead. It wants you dead by 40. Everything better than that is brought to you by science.
New discovery alert: I've spotted evidence that Mars had wet-dry cycles that could have led to conditions for microscopic life to form!

@SusanM36031 Thank you for this tip. I have been at it a couple of hours and now I’m even worse off. And bc I can’t get into my account, I can’t get actual help.
@visiblecare I’m locked out of my Visible account. My help chat ended suddenly. I now have two phones without any cell service and no way to get help bc I can’t get the code to verify my account (bc the phones have no cell service). Wtf.
Fundamental keys of “catch play.” Specifically improving your ability to receive the baseball … using good “actions” to catch the ball. It’s the first thing coaches, recruiters and scouts notice while watching you throw. Do you catch the ball “cleanly? Do you dominate the catch?” And do you develop good habits by moving your feet (within reason) to receive the ball inside your shoulders… which allows for a quicker transition to throw. This is especially important for infielders and catchers. And as simple as this next point might seem, do you know when to catch with 2 hands vs 1? All of these keys (baseball IQ) are touched on in this 101 level video.
