@cstross @lauren I'd like to learn more about the fruit fly. Can I vote for the fruit fly to run my country? I presume the manifesto is more fruit. I've looked at the other candidates and I'm really interested. #politics #zoology #AI #GenAI

The North Dakota Bestiary: If you see a flash of reddish-orange followed by a cheerful whistle and sound of a whip crack, you just barely bore witness to the fastest songbird on earth, the Peregrine Robin.

Also known as the Early Bird of Prey, it is the bane of every earthworm in North Dakota, as well as suburbanites with nice landscaping because of the craters they leave in yards from their Mach 1 dives.

An intelligent bird, they have learned not to use their normal hunting habits on sidewalk worms after a heavy rain. Their fledglings are hilariously awkward and surprisingly durable as they learn to fly. If you’ve ever heard a bullet ricochet off a rock, it might’ve actually been a fledgling.

Peregrine Robins are primarily vermivorous, but insects, small rodents and fast food are also hunted with aplomb and a high success rate.

🐒 NEW: Field researchers capture rare #video footage documenting adult #chimpanzees actively transferring tools to their offspring in #Senegal.

Experienced group members demonstrate #termite #fishing and #ant dipping techniques. Youngsters observe the demonstrations, receive the physical tools, and practice the motions until they master complex foraging.

💁🏻‍♀️ TIL: 🐊💥 Researchers have found vocal #communication across all four surviving reptile lineages, challenging the old idea that #reptiles are mostly silent.

For example, male #gharials make #underwater popping #sounds that seem to signal identity, #turtle hatchlings chirp from inside #eggs to coordinate hatching, and some #lizards use distress calls that change with urgency.

❄️👅 From caribou to #Arctic #foxes, surviving the far north requires more than just thick fur.

Scientists are looking at the specialized #biology of the "#tundra tongue," a high-heat-exchange adaptation that keeps vital tissues warm and functional even when licking salt or eating frozen vegetation in sub-zero temperatures.
