For your Friday afternoon enjoyment, this behind-the-scenes clip from The Nature of Things miniseries "The Secret World of Sound" features a selection of the surprisingly delightful songs of treehoppers, who vibrate their back ends against plant stems to communicate with each other: http://www.cbc.ca/player/play/2303353411916

Eastern Cottontail rabbit skull.

Rabbits and other lagomorphs have an ID feature on their skulls that helps separate them from rodents - "rostral fenestration". This refers to the area of skull in front of the eye socket that looks like latticework.

This skull is one of the many objects on display inside the Centre for Urban Ecology.
