  1. 💁🏻‍♀️ TIL: 🦔🍼 A short beaked #echidna at the #SanDiegoZoo Safari Park gave birth to two #puggles in one season, a rarity for #monotremes.

    One puggle is raised naturally while the other, which struggled to gain weight, is hand reared by veterinarians with #ultrasound monitoring. Echidna #puggles start life weighing about 350 mg – that's less than half a mini-marshmallow!

  2. A cool bit of #SciFiScience, on the biological side, is generating gametes, which is something we can't quite do yet. But we can get very close and conceive stem cells to a precursor form.
