Let this sink in for a minute...

Of all the mammals on Earth, 96% are livestock and humans.

Only 4% are wild mammals.

Of all birds in the world, 70% are chickens and other poultry, just 30% are wild.

A couple of years ago I recorded a very short, but somewhat intense, rainstorm with hail and thunder. And now I'm sharing it with you. Put on some headphones and relax.

An old folk belief in Ireland held that there are 12 different winds and each has its own colour

Also (from a different source) pigs can see the wind

Tardigrades have survived every mass extinction on Earth since they evolved about a 1/2 billion years ago.There are ~1,300 known species.

And millions of years from now, they won’t even notice we’re gone.

A post I made on FB about my favorite animals led to a whole lot of people realizing that pink fairy armadillos are an actual thing, and it is delightful to watch 😆

I guess I'm now spreading the gospel of the pink fairy armadillo. They are real, y'all.

I didn’t know I needed to watch a cute, chubby field hamster running through a field in slow motion, but here we are.

Wildlife photographer Julian Rad has a nice collection of photos/videos of furry little friends in nature. They’re super cute.

First clip showing Julian holding his camera near the ground in front of the hamster, filming in real time. Second clip showing the footage from the camera in slow motion of the hamster running on the grass with its large jowls and tiny feet.

Im veröffentlichen wir bei "BAM! Bock auf Morgen" 9 Podcastepisoden mit 9 Naturwissenschaftler:innen zu 9 Planetaren Grenzen. Wie wohltuend die ruhige, abwägende wissenschaftliche Rhetorik. Sie unterscheidet sich erfrischend von so manchem lauten Alarmismus.

If you blow on a dandelion seed head in just the right way, you get to meet one of these cuties. Nice.

The leaves of ferns are called fronds and when they are young they are tightly coiled into a tight spiral. This shape, called a ‘koru’ in Māori, is a popular motif in many New Zealand designs.

"The hermit crab is not, in fact, hermetical: they're sociable, often climbing on top of one another to sleep in a great pile. When a crab comes across a new shell that turns out to be too big, it waits nearby until another crab comes to inspect it. If it's too small for a second crab, they hold claws and form a queue until a crab who fits it arrives, then the next crab in line claims the newly-housed crab's shell ... "

PSA for people who love getting out into

Did you know there's an instagram account called "Go Outside For Me" where you can share videos with people who can't often go out due to disability?

The videos are just simple, first-person, without talking & the audience is folks who have and other mobility-limiting conditions.

I have no affiliations with it — I just think it's a great idea.

Using the free Merlin Bird ID app, I was astonished to find there were SIXTEEN different species of birds in my backyard early this morning!
The app identifies a bird by a picture or their chirp. If it's ID'd by chirp, it displays a photo. I learned today that the weird sounding bird I sometimes hear is a Carolina Wren.
