🦇 🐀 Rats filmed snatching bats from air for first time.

Stunning hunting behaviour captured in German cave.

The four-year observational study showed a small colony of 15 rats could hunt ~2,100 bats in one winter.

It showed rats hunting in total darkness, using whiskers to feel air currents from bat wings.

This may be a reason why potentially bat pathogens like coronaviruses and para myxoviruses are spilling over to rodents.

Seznamte se s miocénním nosorožcem druhu Epiaceratherium itjilik, který se proháněl po místech, z nichž je dnes Nunavut v arktické Kanadě! Je to 5. druh rodu Epiaceratherium, mladší a nalezený více na sever, než ostatní, a nabízí zajímavý vhled do nosorožčí evoluce. Severoatlantická úžina zřejmě vydržela déle, než se myslelo, a umožňovala disperzi různých savců, včetně nosorožců.

Meet Epiaceratherium itjilik, a Miocene rhinoceros that roamed what is today Nunavut in Arctic Canada! A fifth species of Epiaceratherium, younger and found further north than all the others, it provides an interesting look into rhino evolution. The North Atlantic Land Bridge probably laster longer than previously thought, allowing dispersion of various mammals, including rhinos.

Botany is the scientific study of plants, including their structure, growth, reproduction, and classification. A degree in Botany opens doors to careers in research, agriculture, environmental. Botany farms also play a key role in cultivating rare and medicinal plants for scientific.

Quiet Exchange

Sleep crosses earth'scurve and caststhe world's return to birth. The eagle folds at last;the moth ascends.The day’s brief hour has passed. The fox’s vigil ends;the owl begins.Each life concedes and lends. No creature names these skins,this older rule,the law beneath their limbs. Sleep keeps the poolwhere futures lie,unformed and cool. All waking must complyand enter night,a wordless lullaby. The world grows slight.The stars revolve in keep;the turning holds the light. And all […]

Realized I've not done any bug posting since I changed servers! Going to be reposting some of my fav pics, this here is a gorgeous beewolf! They're chill herbivores except when the females want to lay eggs they'll paralyse a few honey bees, carry them to a nest and lay the eggs next to them for their larvae to feast on! Once the lil wasps have eaten their fill they'll leave home and then spend the rest of their lives peacefully eating nectar 🥰

Was so pleased to see this cutie, especially as this was taken on the day I made a big stride towards beating my phobia of stinging insects during a walk through lavender fields with my darling @cait 💖

Biomimétisme : le ver révolutionnaire
3 novembre 2025 à 12:45
Article dessiné, par Clément Goutelle et Halfbob.

Franck Zal, chercheur en biologie marine, a découvert une spécificité sanguine présente chez le ver arénicole, suite à des observations menées en 1999. Les applications sont nombreuses et montrent la pertinence de l’observation du vivant et du biomimétisme.
