Here are two of my death feigning beetles doing, well, you know, feigning death! They are little drama queens.

This beaver was orphaned and rescued as a newborn,

Watch the incredible instinct to build a dam, even though it’s never seen it’s parents build one.

@courseofhistory @historyinmemes He doesn’t look mangy. His coat looks thick and uniform.

@ThomasShahan Thanks for capturing and sharing their tiny world. They are amazing looking.

@JackPosobiec @zerosum24 If Israel has universal military conscription, and all young adults serve in the military, where are their guns to protect their homes? Since they all received firearms/military training, you’d think they could make a stronger stand defending their homes, no? They seem unarmed.

Why are skunk stripes variable in some places but uniform in others? Our new paper in Evolution used 749 museum skins to examine several hypotheses for why an aposematic (warning) signal like stripes should be variable when having consistent stripes helps preds make fewer errors!

@warblerchips We saved one yesterday. After it flew into a building through an open window, we were able to gently release it outdoors.

This beetle grows a termite-looking puppet on its back to trick termites into feeding it. Truth is stranger than fiction. I 💚 Science!

Maybe we shouldn’t hang our bat houses on the sunny side of a structure because bats can overheat?
