  2. 🦇🍼 A six year old Livingston fruit #bat recently gave birth while hanging from her thumbs with her pup hanging from just the umbilical cord.

    The 2024 event at the #Northumberland #Zoo marked the first time the birth of this #endangered #animal was caught on camera. With only 1,200 remaining in the wild, these are among the rarest #bats in the world.

  7. 👁️💊 An infant in #Thailand developed bright blue #eyes after taking the antiviral favipiravir for #COVID-19.

    Doctors believe the drug’s fluorescent metabolites accumulated in the corneas. The effect was temporary, with the infant's natural brown eye color returning 5 days after treatment ended, leaving no permanent damage to his vision.

  8. 🦗🔬 University of #Sydney researchers found that house #crickets perform "flexible self-protection" by nursing specific injuries, suggesting they experience pain-like states rather than simple reflexes.

    The directed behavior indicates a level of conscious experience previously underestimated in #invertebrates. The findings could challenge our approach toward #insects, supporting a growing scientific consensus on their complex cognitive capabilities.

  9. Interesting.

    "[A] study […] published in the journal Nature in January 2026 […] showed for the first time that bird retinas don’t have some unusual adaptation for acquiring oxygen — they survive without it entirely. Instead, to bring energy to the tissue, they use a process called anaerobic glycolysis that is significantly less efficient than oxygen-powered metabolism but gets the job done."

  10. UC San Diego: From Molecules to Meaning: A Search Engine for the Chemistry of Life. “An international team led by researchers at University of California San Diego and University of California, Riverside has developed a free, web-based platform designed to make public metabolomics data more accessible.”

    Modern rides follow strict #engineering protocols for #design and testing before they ever open to the public. While the risk of injury is statistically low, #safety relies on rigorous mechanical inspections and riders following height and #health #guidelines.

  16. 🦅🐍 Researchers found that painting #wind turbine blades with patterns inspired by venomous #snakes significantly reduces #bird collisions.

    While standard white blades are often difficult for #birds to perceive, the biomimetic designs trigger a natural avoidance response. The simple visual modification offers a promising way to protect migratory species while expanding sustainable #energy.

  25. 💁🏻‍♀️ ICYMI: ❄️🧊 #Antarctica looks empty from above, but researchers find signs of #history and life hidden deep beneath the #ice.

    Cleo Abram talks with scientists about subglacial #lakes and ice cores that act as a frozen timeline of our #atmosphere. The remote environments could help us understand how life might survive on icy moons like #Jupiter's #Europa.

  30. 🦅🐘 Researchers explain that the #energy required for a giant #bird to take off would exceed the metabolic limits of avian #biology.

    Modern bird #anatomy evolved for efficiency and lightweight strength which creates a hard ceiling on how large a flying #animal can become.
