  1. 🦖☄️ 66 million years ago, an #asteroid wiped out 75% of #Earth’s species. The survivors – small #birds, #mammals, #turtles, and #fish – shared key traits: a small body size, the ability to burrow or shelter in #water, and flexible diets. Researchers explain how size, diet, and luck determined who lived and who didn’t.

  14. 🐨🍼 Scientists at the University of the #SunshineCoast in #Queensland, #Australia, are milking #koalas to analyze their milk.

    They found the liquid contains unique proteins that kill harmful #bacteria and #fungi. The #research helps explain how joeys survive in their mothers’ pouches and offers clues for better koala #conservation.

  19. today's wiki-rabbit-hole led me to this fascinating tidbit:

    "The mammalian pseudo-penis appears to be simply for display, though the spotted hyena is an exception: the female spotted hyena urinates, copulates, and gives birth through her pseudo-penis. This prevents males from mating without the full co-operation of females, which means that mating preferences of the female are predominant."

  20. 🐬🇧🇷 Biologist Vera da Silva and researchers at #Brazil’s Mamirauá Institute study the pink #boto, a #freshwater #dolphin that swims backward and upside down.

    These 2.5-meter-long #mammals use #echolocation to hunt #fish among submerged tree roots. While biologically successful for millennia, they now face threats from #hunting and #pollution.

  25. I was out driving through the neighbourhood this afternoon and found this #kangaroo out eating the front grass of this place.

    Unusual to see one out in the suburb while the sun was still up.
