@jeffvandermeer I showed the film of Annihilation in my Human-Animal Relationships class after reading Latour, Descolas, & @davidwengrow's Origin of Monsters. They had a project where they had to imagine a hybrid creature from our campus arboretum. #CrittersClass
CIVET COFFEE! Look at their expressions. #CrittersClass
#CrittersClass #WLCritters This should be illegal. A horrible response; we should be trying to understand this behavior and what they're communicating, not hurt them.
#CrittersClass which I'm tagging even though no one has enrolled in it for the fall!

πππI awoke, here in Guatemala, to the heartbreaking news that our magnificent owl-king, Flaco, has died. 𧡠1/ https://t.co/xluwAL8WOJ
How do animals like Flaco come to mean so much to so many people?
Fly free, wonderful friend. RIP

We are saddened to report that Flaco, the Eurasian eagle owl discovered missing from @centralparkzoo after his exhibit was vandalized just over a year ago, is dead after an apparent collision with a building on West 89th Street in Manhattan. https://t.co/cZGgXpS2mj

Had students build birds with sexually selected traits in class today and their creativity never fails to impress me. Plus they had a good time talking about sexual selection. Win for active learning!
Learning about bat-moth battles at #SICB2024 from @BarberLab
Many moths talk back to bats. Some say, βI taste gross!β
Others jam the sonar of bats, like hawk moths.
The moths hear the bats coming then start making noise.
Sound-making moths also use that sound in mating!
Tonight I ran into 3 of my 12 #CrittersClass students *completely randomly* on 7th Street in DC!! I heard my TA call "Professor --!" and there they were!!
One of my students dressed up as Mothman infected by cordyceps for a #CrittersClass Halloween project and I wish I could share it here bc it was π―π₯π«. #WLCrittersClass
People are always talking about horoscopes but I could care less about that. I want to know what your favorite cryptid is because I'm repping team Mothman HARD!
Horoscopes are overrated, what does your favorite cryptid say about your personality though?
