Herons are kind of ridiculous. Those are body:neck proportions comparable to a giraffe.

"Cerebral Cortextra", an ode to synesthesia, an original artwork dedicated to that moment when the music hits your brain so good your inner demons become a personal marching band and you start seeing visions.

Which animal on Earth has the biggest claw? It's not a tiger, a bear, or an eagle, not anything remotely like that ... thewildepisode.com/2025/06/16/g...

Gave up on trying to get this accurate, cos life's too short and who can remember all these places, but I've definitely *seen* the UK. So my conviction that Scotland is the easily the best must be entirely objective, right? smstone0.github.io#/uk-map

OK, this is wild. In September 2023, geophysicists across the world started monitoring a very odd signal coming from the ground under them. It was picked up in the Arctic. And Antarctica. It was detected everywhere, every 90 seconds, as regular as a metronome, for *nine days*. What the HELL? 1/

A new photo post at The Wild Episode Substack about some predators that hunt predators - flies that hunt, amongst other things, bees, wasps, damselflies and even dragonflies. But why are they called Hanging Thieves?: thewildepisode.substack.com/p/hanging-th... #nature #wildlife #insects #zoology

Hanging Thieves (not a policy suggestion, just some amazing predators!)

Have some amazing photos to start your week

Most 'personal' of the stuff I've written, in the sense it's all about my hometown and based on its very real and kind of mad history ... part horror, yes, but maybe more like a weird historical thriller?

The rhinos we have and the ones we lost. In the late Pleistocene, about two thirds of the worlds terrestrial megafauna went extinct. Rhinos fared better than average, but still, all the temperate and cold climate species are gone. Those that remain are endangered and in dire need of protection.

Time to slowly test the bluesky waters? Maybe. Baby steps and all that.
