Leaked audio of Ken Paxton: Q: Do you think Trump is a bit of a drag? Paxton: To be honest with you, when we did that midterm convention, it dropped our numbers. Everybody’s numbers dropped. Yeah. Not good.

Extraordinary videos have captured orcas making sunfish explode by ramming them at high speed. The behaviour may help juvenile orcas feed by breaking the prey into many small pieces, but it also appears that the orcas may enjoy playing with their food.⁠ Read more www.newscientist.com/article/2580...

Interesting self-hugging technique there 🐙📷Wayne and Pam Osborn (www.inaturalist.ca/observations...)
A Day Octopus (Octopus cyanea) sitting in a reef. Its mantle is hanging down behind it, and its arms are being held close to it. In fact, two of its arms are wrapping around and clinging to it. One arm is going right under its eyes. It sort of looks like it is try to hug itself. The octopus is a beige and light brown with the ends of the arms being orange and dark brown with white spots. The octopus is on a largish rock and you can see the ground below in the background. The background is dark.
