🕷️ A jumping spider that nurses its young with milk — 4x the protein of cow's milk
Female Toxeus magnus spiders secrete a milk-like fluid from their egg-laying opening for nearly 40 days after hatching. Newborns drink nothing else for the first 20 days and die within 11 days if the mother's milk supply is blocked.
Even after spiderlings learn to hunt at day 20, they keep nursing alongside their own kills for another three weeks. Daughters are allowed to return to the nest after reaching adulthood, but adult sons are attacked if they try.
This subverts the long-held assumption that lactation and extended milk-provisioning are exclusive to mammals.

By Katrina BeavanZookeepers had to hand-rear baby Cassie after the chimpanzee was dropped by its mother hours after birth, breaking its leg. After failed reunion attempts the zoo said it's in the primate's best interest to send it elsewhere.

💁🏻♀️ TIL: 🐒🦎 Bearded #capuchins in northeastern #Brazil usually eat fruit, but researchers recorded 446 hunts of #lizards, #snakes and #opossums over 5,000 hours, concentrated when #plant foods ran low. Scientists link this seasonal prey-hunting to a possible stepping stone in early human meat-eating.

#Birdsong and #WhaleSong show patterns similar to #HumanLanguage
by University of Edinburgh
edited by Sadie Harley, reviewed by Robert Egan
"An international team of researchers has uncovered a previously undetected structure in the birdsong of #BengaleseFinches that has the same statistical patterns found in human languages.
"The songbirds—famous for their complex, learned songs—organize their songs using the same mathematical formula found in human speech, a trait that has developed over time and makes complex communication easier to learn and pass from one generation to the next.
"The findings, published in the journal Science Advances, build on the team's previous discovery that #HumpbackWhales also rely on a similar systematic structure.
Language has long been considered a uniquely human trait, with features that mark it as distinct from the communication of all other species.
The findings suggest that some of language's most fundamental building blocks may not be uniquely human after all, but rather a universal feature of learned communication, the researchers say."

💁🏻♀️ ICYMI: 🦐🦘 Roly polies are terrestrial #crustaceans that evolved from marine-dwelling ancestors.
They share a specific trait with #kangaroos because both carry their young in a brood pouch. Female pill bugs carry their #eggs and newly-hatched young in a special pouch called a marsupium.

Mylena Masache and the #frog #species she discovered *while an undergrad* at Pontificia Universidad Católica del #Ecuador in #Quito
She and her colleagues named the frog after Neisi Dajomes, the first Ecuadorian woman to win Olympic gold, at the Tokyo 2020 Games: Nymphargus dajomesae
The species is a glassfrog and is a sign of a much larger #amphibian hotspot in the Cordillera del Cóndor
Mylena is now in grad school at UC Berkeley
