🪱 NEW: Researchers in #Vienna found that the jaws of the ragworm 'Perinereis cultrifera' are made of #proteins bonded with metal ions including #zinc, producing a #material hard like metal yet elastic like #polymer.
Other bristle #worms swim backwards without turning, see in #ultraviolet, and detach rear ends that swim to the surface to spawn.

“Paul Kammerer was a renowned zoologist - ‘Darwin’s Inheritor’ - with a history of dramatic love affairs and a reputation for self-promotion, who died by suicide in Vienna just a few weeks after he was accused of academic fraud on a paper.
A century after his death, his ideas deserve a fresh look, writes evolutionary biologist Max Telford.”

The North Dakota Bestiary: Thanks to its unique clime, North Dakota is home to a variety of ground squirrel found nowhere else. Once thought to be a hybrid of the native 13-lined ground squirrel and the invasive banded ground squirrel, the plaid ground squirrel is now considered a separate species with a stabilized population in the western part of the state.
It’s omnivorous and opportunistic, but takes a special delight in devouring as many pumpkin-spice grasshoppers as it can find at the end of summer and early fall in preparation for winter. It spends its long hibernation deep in its cozy burrow decorated with at least one “Chai. Chirp. Ciao.” framed sign or throw pillow.

The North Dakota Bestiary: As any North Dakotan can tell you, fictional depictions of buffalo wings are a bit off. True buffalo wings are not like those of a feathered bird or run-of-the-mill pegasus; rather, they have long and strong modified bones that support a leathery skin membrane used for flying. In other words, it’s a mammal.
Remarkably, the majestic North Dakota bat-winged bison retains the four legs of a quadrupedal animal, similar to a European/western dragon. This is an example of convergent evolution, so while they aren’t able to breathe fire like a dragon, these ruminants do share rudimentary echolocation abilities with their bat cousins. (Note: the jury is still out on whether or not regular bison use echolocation.)
So the next time you hear something big crashing through the roof of your home or office, don’t worry! It’s just a BWB.
PS: Yes, we know the difference between a buffalo and a bison, but we have chosen as a state to not get worked up about it. Relax.

The North Dakota Bestiary: One of our state’s better-known critters is the North Dakota horned bullhead, a large, feisty, slightly venomous and highly slimy fish used mainly for rodeo events and wedding night pranks. Edible if marinated in ranch dressing for 54 hours before grilling.

💁🏻♀️ 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."

💁🏻♀️ TIL: 🐌🥬 Banana #slugs (genus Ariolimax) move only 16.5 cm per minute across their slime, yet serve as important #forest decomposers in California’s #Redwood National Park and #GoldenGate National Recreation Area.
A close-up #video shows one munching greens using its radula, a tongue-like part armed with roughly 25,000 tiny teeth. The #PacificNorthwest #mollusks are also hermaphrodites and #California’s official state slug.

🐋🪞 In a new study, two #beluga #whales at a #NewYork #aquarium showed possible self-recognition in a mirror – one even pressing a mark behind her ear against the reflective surface.
The results place belugas alongside #chimpanzees, #dolphins, #elephants, and maybe #magpies on a short list of species that pass. But scientists disagree on what the test actually proves, and the debate itself raises deeper questions about animal #consciousness.

For people who like #zoology and #zoos and #AnimalConservation there are several series from #NationalGeographic called "Secrets of the Zoo" on Disney plus. I don't watch much TV so I'm still working through the "Zoo Down Under" about #TarongaZoo in Sydney Australia.
It's very cool. Lots of segments about veterinary, diet, conservation and training/enrichment work at the zoo. Also many cool animals up close. -
