  1. Weighing An Octopus Starts With a Laundry Basket 

    Image: Robin Riggs Just like nurses ask patients to step on the scale at their annual checkup, weight is an important metric in animal healthcare. Measuring some animals’ weight, however, isn’t as straightforward as it is for human patients. The team at the Aquarium of the Pacific in Long Beach, California, has devised a great approach for their Giant pacific octopus (Enteroctopus dofleini) named Glinda.......Continue reading...

  9. The Urban Standardization of Wild Behavior

    Why are city animals becoming more aggressive and bold? A May 2026 study explains how urban living changes the behavior of 133 different animal species.

  10. A new study of 133 species shows city animals are now bolder and more aggressive than those in the wild. This is a major shift in how animals adapt to human cities.

  11. Terminology Shift: "Wild Dogs" Largely Are Dingoes, DNA Shows

    New DNA tests show most "wild dogs" in Australia are actually dingoes. This changes how we see and manage these animals.

  12. DNA tests reveal that up to 98% of animals called "wild dogs" in Australia are pure dingoes or have dingo DNA. This is much higher than previously thought.

  31. 🐱 A recent study has shown that cats can associate specific human words with images! Researchers found that when exposed to different word-image pairings, cats responded to changes with curiosity—some even had pupil dilation, a sign of focus and confusion. 😮

    What are your thoughts? Would you try a word-association test with your cat?

  33. Cave diving is one of the riskiest sports in the world. So why does Jill Heinerth still do it?
    By Sophie Kesteven

    Diving through narrow crevices underwater on limited amounts of air may not appeal to everyone, but cave diver Jill Heinerth wants more people to tap into their inner explorer.

  35. Boudica, finally did a poo.

    And it was a very good poo.

    Still not out of the woods yet, but it has released one of the strangling vines, wrapped around my heart.

  37. Beyond Vision: Hummingbird Study Reveals Tactile Role in Feeding

    New research suggests touch, not just vision, aids hummingbirds' precise hovering during feeding, particularly in wind. This expands our understanding of their remarkable aerial agility. #AnimalScience #Hummingbirds (488 characters)

  38. Meet the 'echidnapus': Fossils discovered in museum draw may point to Australian ‘age of monotremes’
    By Peter de Kruijff

    The 'echidnapus' is one of newly described ancient monotremes from a fossil hotspot in NSW that could give us more clues about an era when egg-laying mammals diversified.

  39. There is no use hiding. It’s Monday.

    Good news is it’s #MarsupialMonday!

    Today we have the always adorable but mysterious & shy Tasmanian devil (Sarcophilus harrisii).

    From the Dasyuridae family (who are largely insectivores), they are unique being the largest carnivorous marsupial.
