@EnvEccentric @NiamhEsmonde Thanks - I suspected mange but it's great to hear and get other opinions and experiences in the matter!

Hii #academictwitter and fellow biologists - can anyone tell me what's up with this zebra foals muzzle? Is it parasitic? Genetic?

@NiamhEsmonde Thanks! It definitely looks like mange and fits the crusty looking skin around the area. Awful to have it on an individual so young already though.
I had some people suggest it could be from suckling from the mum, but that just didn't add up. Thanks!

[Selina B. @Selbetts]

@Silverwriter No it's the colour of the muzzle

🦅 Soaring across the sky, vultures have long inspired human societies, however these iconic birds are some of the world's most threatened.

🌎 On #VultureAwarenessDay, we celebrate the global efforts to change the fortunes of these majestic #birds.

@Charlotteah_98 Ohh yes I bookmarked that 2 years ago haha! I'll see if it's still available. Thanks 🙏

[Selina B. @Selbetts]

Help? I want to do my MSc on African carnivores (wild dogs/hyena/mesocarnivores top choice) MRes preferred but I want to learn stats. But im feeling overwhelmed by the decision of choice..Ive researched a few unis but I want the right research topic first... Any help or tips? 🤷‍♀️

[Selina B. @Selbetts]

@Charlotteah_98 Thanks! I'm looking at universities in either the UK🇬🇧 or South Africa that offer MRes. Ideally I want to work remote & have a stats module attached to it. Definitely will look into some other lab options too. 🙏

[Selina B. @Selbetts]

oh, snap.

Our new study shows that data availability statements are not very useful; 1670 (93%) authors who indicated that data are available on request either did not respond or declined to share their data with us. Journal of Clinical Epidemiology: https://t.co/4IT2Dgphl4

Was there nothing better to do with 44 billion dollars?

#didyouknow that vulture beaks vary based on their diet? Meaning, they all have a different role to play at the site of a carcass.

🎨I re-did my original #vultures #infographic from a few yrs ago. Also check out my art insta for more #scicomm
