UPDATE 🐸

A woman was stung by a venomous scorpion at Düsseldorf Airport after it secretly travelled from Greece inside her jacket

The 52 year old had returned from the island of Kos when the hidden passenger struck

Firefighters called in a reptile expert to catch and identify the scorpion

The yellow Mediterranean scorpion was taken to a nearby reptile zoo, while the woman was treated at a university hospital

@x0_Alexa_0x It’s crazy to think something that looks so alien is actually a sign of a super healthy ecosystem

UPDATE 🐸

Strange brain-like blobs have appeared underwater in Connecticut’s Candlewood Lake

They look like something from an alien movie, but they’re actually colonies of hundreds of tiny animals called bryozoans

some colonies can grow to more than 2 feet across

The bizarre creatures are harmless to people and may even be a sign of a healthy lake

UPDATE 🐸

Australia has launched the largest wild-bird vaccination effort ever attempted, on penguins

wildlife teams are catching little penguins on Phillip Island and in Melbourne's St Kilda, giving each one two doses of bird flu vaccine three to four weeks apart, then microchipping them before release

> the island's colony of up to 40,000 penguins is the world's biggest, and one bird there became the first confirmed H5N1 death in the species

officials admit it won't stop the virus from spreading, they're hoping it just keeps enough birds alive to save the colony

@fidexcode The evolution diagram tech recruiters didn't want you to see

[frogfeed @frogfeed]

@a_shimanski Having people actually reply and start conversations is the real achievement here

[frogfeed @frogfeed]

@x0_Alexa_0x Absolutely, hoping the conservation efforts work and the colony manages to pull through

[frogfeed @frogfeed]

@x0_Alexa_0x Life is definitely better when you're still collecting firsts, no matter how many candles are on the cake 😊

UPDATE 🐸

the world's oldest person just turned 117 today

Ethel Caterham was born in 1909, five years before World War I started, and is the last living subject of King Edward VII

> her secret to a long life: "never arguing with anyone, I listen, and I do what I like"

she survived Covid at 110, met King Charles last year and reminded him "all the girls were in love with you," and says this past year alone brought her the first time she'd ever stroked a llama
