Today I discovered there is a bird known as Standard-Winged Nightjar. The male has wing ornaments called "standards" that grow out of the middle of its wings during mating season.

Thread: #ScienceSpotlight: The article highlights how climate change may inhibit the ability of species to cope with extreme climates, reducing the number of cooperatively breeding species like African wild dogs to a point where the population might collapse. @MpalaWildDogs

The giant pouched rat (genus Cricetomys) are capable of being trained to rescue people from disaster areas. They are also been known to find landmines that need disarming, sniff out tuberculosis, and have even been recruited in the fight against wildlife poaching.

Wake up! LET'S ROAR! It's #WorldLionDay.

Happy #WorldLionDay2023!!!

A few decades ago, there were more than 250,000 wild lions roaming the African plains... This is not the beginning of a fairy-tale, this is how the world was 50 years ago.

It's World Lion Day! Let's celebrate the kings and queens of the jungle with a ROAR of excitement.

Did you know lions are usually polygamous and breed all year-round?
What other facts do you know about lions?

One communication method used by elephants is seismic vibrations. This is the generation & response to mini-earthquakes that transfer info via “rumbles”. Mpala researchers investigate the biological role of these signals. To learn more, visit this link! https://t.co/bsRmRxR86u

(1/2) We have a new correspondence piece entitled “Field studies: list local contributors as authors” now published in @Nature. @OxfordBiology @Sam_Kiuna @OduorSandy

(2/2) In this article, we highlight three key points that need to be considered by project PIs and scientific journals so that field study contributions by researchers from low or middle income countries are acknowledged appropriately.

Those supporting the SHAMBA SYSTEM outside the EXECUTIVE are out to please those in power. For the past 60 years, Kenyans have DESTROYED our FORESTS, POLLUTED water and turned large swaths of land into ARID areas. Let us PROTECT the forests. Don't destroy the little left.

Men,

Being a man is hard,

Don't be cheated that it is easy.

A man's life is not "Picky, Picky, Ponky."

A man's life is fragile. Once broken, it takes years to rebuild it.

Don't waste your life running after useless things.

Value your time and life.
