π𧬠Researchers analyzed the genomes of over 1000 #squamate species to understand the rapid diversification of #snakes.
The findings suggest that snakes evolved up to 3 times faster than #lizards to develop their unique sensory systems and flexible bodies. The shift allowed them to survuve in diverse environments after the loss of their limbs over 100 million years ago.

Wait, wall lizards (Podarcis) also have a rock-paper-scissors situation in color morphs? I thought this was only in side-blotched lizards in the US. Pretty crazy, they aren't even in the same family.
"These larger, more aggressive lizards, recognized by their striking appearance, have spread rapidly. As they expand into new areas, the yellow and orange throat variants are disappearing. In many places, only the white morph remains."

mein aktuellstes FroschFoto ist von vor 2 wochen
einGrasfrosch
Rana temporaria
https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/GrasfroschfrΓΆsche sind weit schwerer vor die linse zu bekommen als krabbeltierchen, meist von vornherein weiter weg, hauen sie zudem schneller ab und sind hervorragend getarnt, zumindest wenn sie dann stillhalten. was wieder von vorteil ist

CW: Bitey snake in a bucket!
I have some new neighbors across the street, from the Pacific Northwest. We've chatted a few times and yesterday I gave them a whole bunch of cuttings off of my cactus here to help them landscape their yard. I was talking about all the lizards and snakes that live here and how I had to catch and relocate a rattlesnake from under the crawlspace in my house. I suggested to them that they look into rattlesnake aversion training for their dog.
I also said that if they found a rattlesnake in the yard, I'd be happy to come get it and relocate it. Jinx, I guess, because she walked over this evening and said that there was rattler in their yard. A western diamondback, like the one that was under my house. Absolutely beautiful snake with 14 rattles! It's much bigger than it looks like curled up in the photos in the bucket.
Alt text in first pic has info about distinguishing western diamondbacks from Mojave rattlesnakes.

Last night after I posted the picture of the Sonoran Desert toad, it came back to the water dish for a little more toadly spa time.
What it is probably doing is "drinking", which they do by osmosis through a membrane on their lower abdomens.
