Can you identify this critter? 🤣
I took this photo in Southeast Texas 5 years ago and it still makes me laugh.

Rob’s theme for #BirdOfTheDay left me spoiled for choice to my surprise. But I went for #Mr&Mrs blue tit in the end. 🪶

The #BirdOfTheDay theme is #Mr&Mrs so here is a pair of bald eagles, always majestic.

African buffalo are one of the most dangerous animals in Africa. They can way 900 kg and are apparently considered grumpy.
I’d be grumpy too if I had to carry a bunch of yelling red-billed oxpeckers around all the time!

My first ever great horned owl photo. Mama and baby.
I did not have the camera I have now but I still love that photo. Spring 2018.

The #BirdOfTheDay is the bird you have photographed the least often. For me, the #Potoo.
Saw one once very far away, hidden by branches, still got an okay shot, highly cropped.
Costa Rica, April 2023.

The platypus’s bill has 40000 electroreceptors and 60000 mechanoreceptors. It senses tiny electric fields and water movements from prey. Sweeping its bill side to side, the platypus finds hidden food underwater, hunting well even in the dark or cloudy water. ⚡🌊

While a new, broad-spectrum 'nanobody' antivenom performed impressively in preclinical trials, the real significance is “showing this is possible,” @andreaslaustsen.bsky.social told me. That and more of the best from @science.org and science in #ScienceAdviser: www.science.org/content/arti... 🧪
