#WorldSnakeDay !?!?
Let's celebrate with a big beautiful Natrix natrix from the Cilento, Vallo di Diano & Alburni National Park (Southern Italy).
Non-venomous, good swimmer, bit testy, cool...

We began planting trees in Madagascar several years ago... and now the results can be seen from space! 😱

An exceptional Brazilian fossil reveals a new dinosaur species that walked on one toe like a horse—and tore into meat with knife-like claws https://t.co/tT5013OewB

Yes! :)

We are relieved our captain is free! ❤️🚀 There were no grounds to keep her arrested, as here only 'wrongdoing' was to enforce human rights on the Mediterranean and to take responsibility where none of the European governments did. #FreeCarola #FreeCarolaRackete #CarolaRackete

We stand by our captain #CarolaRackete. She was placed under house arrest in #Lampedusa, after having brought 40 people safely into port with the #SeaWatch3.

All she kept asking: could the people leave the ship?
All we are asking: #FreeCarola!

Having used phalangeal #skeletochronology to estimate age & growth in the endemic for #Madagascar riparian frog <Mantidactylus grandidieri>, scientists defined it as a medium-long-lived species.

If our captain Carola follows the law of the sea, that asks her to bring the rescued people on the #SeaWatch3 to a safe port, she might face heavy sentences in Italy.

"I will die if you kill my land."

Brazil's indigenous community wants the gov't to protect the land with deforestation increasing 54% in the first month of Bolsonaro's presidency.

A walk in the field today and here is my first picture of Chioglossa lusitanica in the wild! Really cool endemic salamander from Iberian Peninsula.
