If you're thinking this seems risky, you're not the only one. These lemurs are pretty reluctant to engage in this cute behavior if terrestrial predators such as domestic dogs, wild cats, and livestock are around.

Did you know that lemurs hug trees to cool down? @endangeredlemur showed that the base of trees are significantly cooler than the air, the ground, or higher up in the trees. Lemurs can spend up to 4 hours doing this! #uconneeb #eebclasses #uconnbehavior

This semester I observed birds @FeederWatchCam to determine how bird mass and beak size influence seed preferences. In line with our hypotheses, our data suggest that seed size and hardness is positively correlated with mass and beak length! #uconneeb #eebclasses #uconnbehavior

I am queer because that’s what I’m doing

I just saw white breasted nuthatches on the ground for the first time and honestly? It took me a hot second to realize what I was looking at #birdclass

Accidentally got caught up in the beauty of life and stared straight into the sun for a while. Now everything I look at has a cool yellow spotlight on it

I think I just saw a light rough legged hawk! I'm on the bus so I only got a quick glimpse of it, but it was standing on the ground in a yard. It was brown and white and had feathered legs. I love car rides because those flash sightings are fun puzzles!

@ElizaGrames Thank you so much! I can't tell you how much I appreciate you giving me your time!

I just saw a hummingbird chasing a house sparrow and I must say I approve

#birdclass, any idea what sp. of cormorant this is? Given the brown, I think this is a juvenile. There was an adult (all black) nearby. They both had a face with yellow that stopped well under the eye and no white at all. I'm super stumped. It was also drying its wings! #tweetID

I just saw a Canada goose at Elizabeth park trying to bathe itself in the pond and it accidentally flipped itself upside down in the water. You know when you're wearing a life jacket and you get turned upside down and can't get back? It was that. Hilarious. #birdclass

Just saw 2 American robins mobbing a squirrel in Bushnell park. The other people waiting for the bus probably just see some crazy woman gazing out into an empty park and laughing. #birdclass

Me trying to go back to sleep at 5:30 AM: That's a mourning dove. That's a house sparrow. That's a cardinal. That's a robin. That's a tufted titmouse. That's a black capped chickadee. That's a--

I have a question for you!

What's your favorite backyard bird species?

Don't call me boring, but I really do love American Robins. There's just something about how they run through the grass prowling that makes me smile ☺️

I just saw a hermaphroditic mallard at Elizabeth park in Hartford! #birdclass

Does anyone know of a good organization to donate money to for climate change, specifically habitat loss (or other ecological related causes)? I'm trying to find a place for birthday donations this year. #birdclass

Does anyone know what species this window strike is? #birdclass

We found a sweet mountain lion mummy today!
