there's so much bad in the world but there's also people who lift up and carry an elderly bat around every day so he can pretend he's flying again, and that's the part of the world I think is worth fighting for

I'm a 50yr old academic and wrestle my 10yr old for first read of the Donut Squad strips in the Phoenix. Explaining why 'Waiting for Godonut' is so utterly hilarious would've been tricky even if I could have stopped laughing long enough to do it properly. Hang in there and get well soon!

For our recent paper - on naive humans reinventing how to shape early stone tools - we did sth unusual and sth (hopefully) useful:

We included an FAQ section in the supplementary material

New methods may benefit from such FAQ's being included.

Baby tapir getting scritches for their itches.

If you want to scritch your very own tapir & you live outside of Central or South America or SE Asia, you'll need to visit a zoo.

But these little guys are (evolutionarily) from around here, in North America. Let's talk about it.

Marsupials previously thought extinct for millennia discovered in New Guinea The chances of finding one mammal species thought to be lost was β€˜almost zero’ and finding two is β€˜unprecedented’, biologist Tim Flannery says

"Two charismatic marsupial species that had been thought extinct for 6,000 years are alive in rainforest in remote West Papua."

Oh yeah this is super cool as both the pygmy long-fingered possum and ring-tailed glider were previously only known from fossils 🀯πŸ§ͺπŸ€

Chimpanzees Are Really Into Crystals

"The apes responded with great interest, and the researchers ended up needing to trade large amounts of bananas and yogurt to get back the largest crystal. Others were never retrieved.... They seemed to be experiencing 'something beyond curiosity,' Dr. GarcΓ­a-Ruiz said."
