Love seeing work like this 👏

This is simply an extraordinary study. Researchers gave $7,500 (CAD) to homeless people in Vancouver. The result? The program *saved* money. It helped many of them to move into housing faster, which saved the shelter system $8,277 per person. 🧵👇

Bats deliver ecosystem services valued in the billions of dollars. The ecological illiteracy of those that govern us is beyond belief.

Armadillos collect leaf litter which they use to build nests inside their burrows

Their unique structure makes carrying things a challenge, which they overcome by positioning leaves against their abdomen and hopping backward towards their nests.

New paper alert @MPI_animalbehav @michiganstateu @MaraHyenas: After inheriting social status from mom, hyenas decline in rank over their lives📉—not by being overtaken, but because of the combination of demographic turnover + rank inheritance (1/6) https://t.co/bbjSpxmWH5

Touching this bird will result in numbness & tingling in extremities.

Prolonged contact or ingestion can result in paralysis or death.

Let's talk about the #birds that can kill you with a touch.

If you live in the US, use the #PlantsForBirds database to find which plants are native to your ZIP code.

It’ll even tell you which bird species each plant supports, where to obtain them, and if there’s a local Audubon chapter/center that can advise you. https://t.co/QikFhnrYUE

If he:

-Changes his entire look for you
-Travels 1,900 miles upstream to chase you
-Procreates and dies
-Replenishes an entire ecosystem with his carcass

He's not your valentine, he's a Chinook salmon
