This is some really beautiful graphic/visual/science 🧪 journalism from Katherine Chui and @catrineinhorn.bsky.social. I wrote about this topic recently myself, and I just love how this tells the story in such a different and evocative way: www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

Pigeons on the cover of Science. We're so back

Ever wonder what would happen if you fell into a swimming pool full of daddy longlegs? 🧪 This was such a lovely conversation with @wesa.fm’s Bill O’Driscoll! www.wesa.fm/arts-culture...

I cannot WAIT to introduce my ornithology class to the Pfeilstorch. It lives in the same mental category as bowheads with jade harpoons found in them as "someone's shot wasn't quite on target and we learned something cool AF about nature from it"

It was a pleasure talking with animal behavioral ecologist extraordinaire, Marc Bekoff, about my new book, GRIZZLED: Love Letters to 50 of North America's Least Understood Animals! Enjoy over at @psychologytoday.com! 🧪🐻 www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/anim...

REMINDER: Hantavirus is not new. The CDC has documented ~900 cases in the US since 1993, when tracking began. It is more common in the American West. If you see someone freaking out, they are not someone who knows much about zoonotic diseases, which are diseases spread between animals & humans. 🧪

Careful my child, it’s a slippery slope 😅👍

Gar sighting in the wild! (Please ignore my bad mini time 😭) @solomonrdavid.bsky.social

Nutritionists debate how much protein we "need." Is it 0.6? 0.8? 1.5?! No matter what, though, they all agreed: A protein-packed toaster pastry or latte is NOT the way to get it. www.scientificamerican.com/article/prot...

Neanderthals were definitely tough, but they weren't necessarily dumb. Also, this story by @kionasmith07.bsky.social will make you SQUIRM. 🧪

I'd always heard oranges were the way to get orioles, but I was skeptical until I tried it and -- poof -- an oriole appeared in my backyard for the first time. Here's why the many species of oriole love the sweet stuff! Feat @audubon.org 🧪 #birds www.nationalgeographic.com/animals/arti...

I know it's Tuesday, but it occurs to me this could make a good new Garfield/Mondays meme.

Find your safe space. @panic.gay this seems up your, um, alley.

Bday gift ideas :)

"Cloacal diving" thank you @bittelmethis.bsky.social www.nytimes.com/2026/05/11/s...

But seriously though I have seen a lot of crazy images in my career, representing a lot of crazy animal behaviors. This is the one that made me yelp the loudest when I first saw it.

🎵 when a fish needs a ride in a manta ray's backside, that's remora!!! 🎵

So, uh. Sometimes, when a remora gets scared... It hides inside a manta ray's butt. Science 🧪 by @emilyyeager9.bsky.social @drcatmac.bsky.social, with a healthy HT to @whysharksmatter.bsky.social! www.nytimes.com/2026/05/11/s...

Assuming they're still alive, this armadillo has three perfect clones of itself wandering around out there, too.

Canadaspis perfecta gathering to mate and moult in the Cambrian-age Burgess Shale. In layer -350 of the Walcott Quarry (Phyllopod Bed), Canadaspis gathered in such great concentrations that one slab of shale, roughly 1 square metre in area, was covered in over 700 individuals.

Cannot believe that those of us from Hakai are going through this again. This industry is brutal, man.

It really is such a good book.

Salticid anatomy design I've been whittling away at too long - started as an idea for a t-shirt but may be too feature-bloated now... Tear it apart! I need criticism/corrections! What don't you like? What doesn't read well? Anything misleading/mislabeled? Fonts/labels/pointers can all be changed...

F€#*!

Once I figure out how to inflate my throat sac it's over for you hoes

Great, now I’m suffering from FOMOOE (fear of missing out on eels)

Chameleon conservation is criminally under-covered. Thanks to @johnrplatt.bsky.social for trying to change that! 🧪 therevelator.org/chameleons-c...

I think you could use some singing mice today. 🧪 Thanks, @jakebuehler.bsky.social! www.sciencenews.org/article/sing...

YUP. Also it's wild if you get to hold one. When the bears are super young they can't control their body temp and need to be kept warm in your jacket while the wildlife guys work on the mother (oh darn, my life is HARD). And so you're holding what feels like a 25 lb toddler, with GIANT CLAWS.

Baby black bears climb almost as well as they can walk, thanks to long, sharp, curved claws. Mom actually likes when they climb because she’s knows they’re safe up there and she doesn’t have to worry about them. Cool sighting!!

It is Wednesday, my dudes.

My copy just arrived!!! 🧪

What can we learn about caring from an animal that resembles a toothed snack cake? Thanks to @mcsweeneys.net for publishing this excerpt from my book (out today!!): www.mcsweeneys.net/articles/an-... 🧪

A thing I think about often is how red wolf reintroduction failed in the Great Smoky Mtns NP, in part because of hybridization with coyotes. "You can make a species extinct by hybridization just as well as you can by killing them off," one of the managers told me way back when.

Spotted on campus. No idea what it means, but I am here for it.

So many emails. Every day. And I just got a new one/kind! This one wants to sell me a plaque of the media coverage my book has gotten.
