Did you know that mature male orangutans 🦧 develop large cheekpads as well as large bags around the neck? These characteristics associated with dominance make them more attractive to females.

With the arrival of the European autumn begins the rutting season of the red deer. While the stags compete for the chance to mate, the hinds gather with their calves, always more discreet and alert to danger. With some luck, one may observe a group of females and their young. 🧵

The iconic Eurasian Pygmy-owl (Glaucidium passerinum). Despite its diminutive size, this owl is remarkably fierce—fearlessly attacking larger birds and relentlessly hunting smaller birds and rodents.

A nice discussion about whether we need to rename organisms that were named after people we don’t like. (IMHO doing so is a colossal waste of time & cannot change history)
A tiny, unremarkable beetle hiding in the caves of Slovenia has an infamously unfortunate name—one that has sparked heated debates in the scientific world.
A Beetle By Any Other Name
In a limestone cave deep in Central Slovenia, an unremarkable insect lives in complete darkness. This tiny beetle, barely visible to the naked eye, has no eyes and a brownish-yellow coloration—adaptations to a life spent entirely underground. The beetle has survived for approximately two million years in this harsh environment, yet in the past century, it gained notoriety for reasons completely beyond its control: it was named after Adolf Hitler.

On the night of October 10th, the skies of the Northern Hemisphere lit up once again with the magical northern lights, visible at lower latitudes than usual due to a powerful solar flare during the peak of the solar cycle. 🌞🌠

The Long-eared Owl (Asio otus) is found in Europe and North America. Despite its widespread distribution, it is not an easy bird to spot because it is strictly nocturnal and camouflages itself well among the branches and leaves of trees during the day.
