“Climate scientists appalled by politicians' refusal to accept responsibility as heatwave hits France… They say that years of warnings issued from scientists about the consequences of global warming have not been taken seriously.” #France #ClimateCrisis #UrbanHeat

The authors of this study seem to have no idea how (not) available carrion is as a resource. Also, why the hell would projectile points be used on carcasses?

“We can’t distinguish between hunted and scavenged mammoths (oh and isotope values could just be from maggots), so we can’t say the Clovis routinely hunted proboscideans” I think you should see the issue with this by replacing “Clovis” with “Homotherium”.

A person has to ask themselves Am I going to an ICE jail today, forever? Or Do I choose to to not be kidnapped by domestic terrorists posing as law enforcement? We the people have to ask ourselves How much more am I going to take? Before I say NO! We’re Human Beings God Damn It!

Found out they are working in my area. They are busy picking up dangerous folks like nuns on the way to mass.

One wonders if it's all a practice run to be an eventual gestapo style round-up of the opposition.

They’re going full-bore Nazi, and it’s not going to stop.

Warning ⚠️ ICE has reportedly detained more than 10,000 people in the past five days as part of a nationwide enforcement surge.

The problem for the US is that no one from the outside world is crazy enough to attack a fascist US…it will be up to Americans to sort this out.

🚨SCREENSHOTS FROM THE FIRST TRAILER OF #EvolutionWithChrisPackham , coming 13 JULY! METASPRIGGINA, NUMIDOTHERIUM AND OTHER CREATURES NEVER SEEN ON-SCREEN BEFORE WILL BE FEATURED!

Anyone who watched Morning Live on BBC One this morning will have caught a first showing of the trailer for my most recent programme, Evolution with Chris Packham! I suspect it'll be online at some point soon - will share when it is!

I have now personally witnessed a bird dying of heat stress while I was refilling our bird baths. I fear I’m not far behind.

Well Belgium, hope didnt need your arms you goddamn colonialists. Nobody like you.

A massive Georgia data center drained nearly 30 million gallons of water, sparking outrage among local residents asked to conserve water during a drought. Residents of Fayetteville, Georgia, first noticed something was wrong when their home water pressure mysteriously plummeted.

Who knew?

A major win! A federal judge has blocked the U.S. Postal Service from moving forward with changes to how it handles mail-in ballots. The ruling found that recent policies directed by the Trump administration violated legal commitments the Postal Service agreed to more than four years ago to

What's wrong with there being more crocodiles (and this isn't one)?

Disturbing? How the hell is this disturbing?

> absolutely STUNNING pics of male parental care in gharials "Omg disturbing, like parental care in XY other animals I don't know shit about"

Ohmygodz, the ridiculously thin-snouted reptile that exclusively eats fish and other small animals that's restricted to scattered pockets in South Asia! So disturbing...😬😬

Feast your eyes on DOMINO! Potentially the world's first warty frogfish (Antennarius maculatus) successfully reared in human care 📍Shedd Aquarium

I still have no idea why a predator whose biggest known prey were only around the size of a bison needed jaws and teeth approaching that of elephant-sized megatheropods that killed elephant-sized or even larger animals...

Forgot to post this one a while ago- Mystriosuchus!, any resemblance to crocodilians is purely convergent evolution Btw, phytosaur taxonomy is a mess, many names don't mean anything, and we're in dire need of someone to clean up almost two centuries of taxonomic salad history😅

Democrats are so good at rigging elections they elected republicans to control all 3 branches and the SCOTUS, so no one would ever suspect them… Yeah, that’s exactly how fucking stupid they actually sound, isn’t it?!

🪄PRESTO!🪄 Skeletals of several Prestosuchus specimens or well... "Prestosuchus", as there are definitely multiple taxa in here distinct from the holotype, its a bit of a brazilian loricatan waste-basket... (some really large!) one-by-one down on replies!

Smok wawelski.... a big paleontology enigma...? NO, THIS THING WAS OBJECTIVELY NEVER A DINOSAUR!!!! anyways here are its funky proportions :3, couldnt pass the chance once i found good pics and scans of the thing

Also note that many of these show the whale killing the shark....which is based entirely on pop culture myths about shark vs. cetacean interactions, not reality. (The "brain beats brawn" narrative doesn't hold up, it's physical size that matters most in this matchup)

And here it is! The finalized art piece I commissioned my friend Riamus, which we call "Deadliest Duo". Many thanks to him, but also thanks to Tyler Greenfield, Cetology Hub, and Evoincarnate (on Twitter) for acting as consultants for animal body shape. What exactly is this? Thread below 🧵

It seems the USA's 'manifest destiny' is to elect the very worst people among them and destroy the democracy they swore to defend.

Oh no! He couldn't do his one song! #TrumpFyreFestival variety.com/2026/music/n...

I suspect size (mass) is probably the biggest factor. Most other extant varanids are <20kg on average (and more realistically <15kg), which tends to be below the threshold for macropredation.

That poor mystecete…

Imagine being outdone by Animal Armageddon of all things.

A criticism I've seen of Surviving Earth is that most of the events happened over a long period of time, which is not conveyed well in the series. I think an improvement would've been to regularly show how much time elapsed since the start of each event like in Animal Armageddon.

Jared Kushner wants Albania's protected wetlands. The government obliged. Protesters said no. 29 days later, they're still saying no — with flamingo cutouts and flags, in the streets, every single night. Europe is watching. Is anyone else?

Keep telling yourself THAT...

A long time ago one of my friends was arguing theropod predation with a few other people, and the other side brought up how most varanids do not regularly prey on large prey like the KD. This finding here was like a decade-late explanation/counter to that lol

I give it a decade before Grus americana goes back to being almost extinct, if not outright extinct.

STUDY SEZ DEAD CROCO-BIRD THINGY SHOULD BE CALLED SOMETHING ELSE ...Oh, and the president ended protections for an endangered species.
