Instead of going in for the kill, this mother orca spins the sea turtle as her calf watches on, but why? Researchers examining this footage from the Gulf of California believe she may be teaching, rather than playing with her food: https://t.co/xr5Az5Vvip

Australia's green tree ants are formidable prey, with a powerful bite and a defense that keeps most predators away. But a newly discovered spider has found a remarkable way to catch them—a hunting behavior scientists have never documented in spiders before. 🔗 https://t.co/TS3ymqbuOk

Over a decade after Homo naledi fossils were discovered in a South African cave system, researchers have uncovered a new clue—they may have all been female. An analysis of proteins in tooth enamel found that all 20 appear to be missing their Y chromosomes: https://t.co/Vp3ZvVn4sr

Each summer, Colorado’s mountain landscapes take on a different look as wildflowers spread across meadows and alpine terrain. The change is especially striking from the road, where long drives become a window into the season's brief but vibrant display. 🔗 https://t.co/l3mgBBxx5H

There's nothing quite like a waterside picnic for these bonobos as they chow down on some mineral-rich lilies to keep them healthy. 🪷

@GhillesA What a mystery!

[National Geographic @NatGeo]

Thousands of mysterious "sky caves" were hand-dug out of the cliffs in Mustang, Nepal, and no one knows exactly why or who made them.

For the first time in more than 900 years, the Bayeux Tapestry has arrived in the U.K. Nat Geo writer Chris Heath and photographer Zed Nelson witnessed its arrival in the early hours of July 10, marking an accomplishment that many considered impossible. https://t.co/P6UArg0Vx2

@hisjohnk Sometimes a nap feels more restful than a full night's sleep 😅

[National Geographic @NatGeo]

"Get eight hours of sleep a night" has been the standard advice for decades, but sleep is a far more complicated process than this simple guidance suggests. New studies reveal that good sleep is highly individualized, and longer doesn't always mean better. 🔗 https://t.co/gp0STvtmwS

@JulianUnlocked There's so much more to it!
