PENEMUAN SPESIES KETAM BAHARU DI SARAWAK! ๐ฆ
Berita baik untuk biodiversiti negara! Satu spesies ketam separuh darat (semiterrestrial) baharu daripada kumpulan ketam 'vampire', iaitu ๐ฎ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐, telah berjaya direkodkan dan didokumentasikan sebagai spesies baharu.
๐ Lokasi Penemuan: Spesies ini ditemui di hutan pergunungan di Gunung Penrissen, Barat Daya Sarawak, pada ketinggian sekitar 1,040 meter dari aras laut. Ia lazimnya ditemui di celah-celah lapisan daun gugur atau tumbuh-tumbuhan berhampiran aliran air dan formasi batuan.
Ciri-ciri Unik:
โ Spesies ini dinamakan ๐ฎ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐ sempena lokasi penemuannya, iaitu Gunung Penrissen.
โ Ia mempunyai cangkerang yang berbentuk hampir segi empat sama.
โ Mempunyai variasi warna dari coklat kemerahan gelap (bagi ketam dewasa) hingga warna coklat gelap dengan sedikit kilauan.
โ Mempunyai bintik-bintik kecil berwarna biru atau putih pada cangkerang dan apendajnya (terutamanya pada ketam muda), manakala matanya berwarna hitam berbanding berwarna kuning berkilauan dan boleh memantulkan cahaya dalam tona yang berbeza seperti spesies Geosesarma yang lain.
โ Signifikan Penemuan: Ini merupakan spesies genus ketam Geosesarma yang ketiga yang diketahui mendiami kawasan hutan pergunungan di kepulauan Borneo (selain G. larsi dan G. aurantium).
๐ Tahniah diucapkan kepada barisan penyelidik, iaitu Dr. Jongkar Grinang dari UNIMAS, Sarawak, Dr. Paul Y. C. Ng, dan Dr. Peter K. L. Ng dari Singapura atas penerbitan hasil kajian ini di dalam Raffles Bulletin of Zoology (2026).
Sebagai rakyat Malaysia, marilah kita bersama-sama menyokong usaha pemuliharaan alam sekitar agar habitat pergunungan yang menjadi rumah kepada pelbagai spesies endemik yang unik seperti ketam ini terus terpelihara dan kekal dara.

Imagine growing up in absolute dirt poverty in east Tennessee, daughter of a tobacco farmer, going to school wearing rags your mother stitched into a coat, and when you die the British royal family has its military band play your up-the-workers country-pop anthem in tribute.
Dolly Parton is a reminder that people are good. Sheโs a reminder that it is not ethical to be a billionaire, and is a reminder that your fav celebrity can use their money for multiple good causes. Iโm so upset
Interesting, because Amazon would have me believing that in order to digitize a book you have to destroy the rare first edition version of it for your AI.
(thank you Internet Archive for archiving our internet and media <3, you are an invaluable resource)
โdolly called me and said she wants to rest in a beautiful bed of plush cotton, because after a life wearing heavy rhinestones, she finally deserves to be comfortable and have some restโ ๐ฅบ
The Imagination Library sends a book to a kid every month from the time theyโre born until theyโre 5 years old. These messages are from the first and last books sent. Itโs hard to overstate what Dolly Parton did to not only improve the lives and educations of so many kids, but the impact she had on southern Appalachia as a whole. The land once known for uneducated, backwards hillbillies would not be known as the forests of rolling wonder and communities built on kindness and folklore without her. My friendโs son was heartbroken today, thinking Dolly herself was sending his monthly books by hand, and she might as well have been. Iโve grown up, and my daughter will grow up, in a land made better because of her and there isnโt a way to say โthank youโ enough for that. These mountains are something special, made by God, and worth remembering for every story in them and every story they inspire. Dolly never forgot that, and her legacy will be the same as the hills she came from.
A Jeju police officer was arrested today for deliberately shutting down missing-person cases โ not one or two, but roughly 298 of them. He told families their loved ones were safe, then quietly deleted the cases from the missing-persons system.
The case cracked open because of Jang Mi-ran's disappearance, which turned out to expose a far larger cover-up.
Jang Mi-ran, 37, went missing on May 12.
Her boyfriend reported it, and the officer assigned to the case told him he'd reached her, that she was safe, and that she didn't want her location shared โ then closed the file that same night. It later emerged there was no record police had ever actually contacted her.
Once the officer was identified and implicated, investigators went back through his past cases. Between August 22 and 24, they found four bodies of people who had been reported missing โ Jang Mi-ran among them, found 104 days after she disappeared, just a few minutes' walk from where she'd been staying. The other three were men, two in their 60s and one in his 70s.
Since prosecutors' authority to conduct supplementary investigation was abolished, public anxiety has been mounting over how a single officer could kill hundreds of cases with almost no way for anyone to catch it.
Video: the family, enraged, confronts the officer. (Chanel A News)
love these behind the scenes videos that look like they were filmed by a random civilian in universe like this is actor the type of shit youโd see posted online about batman if he were real lmao
