Female Darwins Frogs deposit eggs on the damp forest floor; males fertilize the eggs and remain nearby. Just after the eggs hatch, the male takes the tadpoles into his mouth and manipulates them through a hole below his tongue and into his vocal sac.

Sarcosuchus imperator weighed around 5 metric tons, we wanted to create a sleek, elegant and aggressive specimen for Instinction and damn did the art, rigging and animation team deliver, massive appreciation for their skills!

You don't want to be caught anywhere near this creature on land and especially in the water!

Caulkicephalus glides over a pool of goniopholidid crocodylomorphs as it moves away from the wildfire on the far bank. Wish I could have finished this one for Halloween, but didn't have time unfortunately. Still kept the tapetum lucidum spooky vibes regardless!

In the US, milk is pasteurized via High Temperature Short Time pasteurization.

Milk is rapidly heated to 161°F for 15 seconds, then rapidly cooled.

This kills pathogens: E. coli, Salmonella, and Listeria, inactivates influenza viruses, herpesviruses, parvoviruses, & others.

Just completed this commission of a montage of Papuan skinks and their habitat. I've been privileged to take part on an expedition to Papua New Guinea 10 years ago. The lowest Papuascincus species was discovered during this expedition, and I had chance to make sketches of it.

Do more complex models of sequence evolution resolve the discordance found in tetrapod mitochondrial gene trees? Spoiler alert: No! Check out our new paper from the first chapter of my dissertation with Bob Thomson and @jembrown, out now in @systbiol ! https://t.co/BZP6Lf7U9c

#OTD in 1858, a Malay teenager called Ali collected this bird-of-paradise & gave it to Alfred Russel Wallace. It led to the species' first scientific description. I wrote about how a far greater diversity of people deserve credit in the history of science:
