💁🏻‍♀️ TIL: 🦊🐋 #Indohyus was a #fox-sized, semi-aquatic mammal that lived in and around the coast of an island #India 49 to 45 million years ago.

#Fossil evidence, including a #skull accidentally broken in the lab in 2007, showed whale-like inner-ear #bones that placed it as the closest non-whale relative of all modern #whales. It gave rise to #Pakicetus and a chain of increasingly aquatic ancestors leading to today’s toothed and #baleen whales.

The fact that all mammals on this planet, including ourselves, have their origin in a tiny primate or pre-primate that weighed less than 20 grams, makes me very humble.

It lived during the early Paleocene, ~66 Million years ago, probably on trees. It had appeared pretty "soon" after the big bang. This alone is a miracle.

A Rat (genus Rattus) spotted at Bidadari Park, Singapore on 16 Sept 2025. This one was bold enough to stop in the open near the walking path and take its time eating.

💁🏻‍♀️ TIL: 🐻🐻‍❄️ On August 3, cameras caught a rare silver-furred brown bear cub yawning in the grass at #Katmai National Park in #Alaska.

Park ranger Sarah Bruce and biologist Michael Saxon explain the coloring comes from natural genetic variation, not a #polarbear hybrid. The six-month-old cub faces steep odds, since rangers estimate 33-50% of spring #cubs do not survive to their first year.

💁🏻‍♀️ TIL: 🏔️🐭 Researchers collected 167 Andean leaf-eared #mice from sea level to the #volcano summits of the central #Andes, over 6,700 meters up, then exposed them to simulated thin air in the lab.

The highland mice turned out to use #oxygen more efficiently in their skeletal #muscle and generate more body heat than their lowland relatives. Genome sequencing also showed adaptations for detoxifying toxins in the very #plants they eat.

A Long-tailed Macaque (Macaca fascicularis) spotted at Thomson Nature Park, Singapore on 2 Aug 2026. It climbed down a tree and then went up on to the post to, in Singlish, "Lepak". :-)

(Lepak is a local slang term for relaxing.)

🧵 The world's highest-dwelling mammal isn't a mountain goat or a yak -- it's the Andean leaf-eared mouse (Phyllotis vaccarum), a tiny rodent living atop volcanoes at 22,000+ feet. These mice survive conditions that kill most mammals: oxygen at just 44% of sea level, temperatures as low as -60C, and toxic volcanic plants. A new study in Science reveals their secrets: they burn fat for heat instead of carbs, pack their muscles with mitochondria, and evolved genes to detoxify poisonous plants. The most surprising part? High-elevation mice still interbreed with sea-level populations, yet natural selection maintains the adaptations. This challenges assumptions about what mammals can endure, and suggests feeding ecology matters as much as oxygen in extreme environments. https://www.science.org/doi/10.1126/science.aec8347 #Science #Mammals #Andes

Biologically, the closeness between humans and #animals is undisputed. Many animal species share a large part of their DNA with us, and especially among higher #mammals the kinship is obvious. This does not automatically entail full legal equality, but it certainly provides a strong ethical argument: anyone who acknowledges the capacity to suffer cannot treat animals as if they were dead objects.
