Cropped on shot of this Kingfisher with the new OM system 50-200mm F2.8 PRO IS with an attached 1.4x telecoverter. Do you think OM should concentrate on a new higher megapixel sensor or is 20 enough on the micro four thirds sensor?

The largest animal to have ever lived on Earth!
Even the biggest dinosaurs were smaller than the blue whale
An adult blue whale can reach over 30 metres in length and weigh up to 180 tonnes, yet it feeds almost entirely on tiny krill

Data centres are energy hungry but what if we could use their waste heat to heat our homes?
That's exactly what happens in places like Finland: Cities are tapping the vast amounts of waste heat generated by data centres, and feeding it into district-heating networks.

When it gets really cold bluebirds roost together in a pile using collective body heat to help them survive. They arrange themselves so they don’t smother & alternate positions within the pile.

Meet the Alpine Salamander.
It may look like just another amphibian, but did you know they have one of the longest gestation periods in the animal kingdom?
Their babies take 2-4 YEARS to be born.
Yes, you read that right, up to 4 years of pregnancy.

Meet the Zanzibar Red Colobus. Found nowhere else on Earth except on this island, and there are fewer than 6,000 left in the world.
This primate has declined by over 50% in recent decades due to habitat loss and hunting.

Have you ever heard of the Tomato Frog? 🐸
They are endemic to Madagascar, named for their very vivid red-orange coloration that resembles a ripe tomato.
And when threatened, they can puff up their bodies and even secrete a sticky toxin to deter predators.
