Here’s a 🧵 about the amazing Bluey, which tells a different story about the BBC than the one we usually hear…

A great time at @pintofscience.uk last night watching @dranipermana.bsky.social teach us all about orangutan nest building and then expertly judge our own nests! Turns out I need to spend a bit more time in the forest to get the hang of it.
