In 1989, a scientist visiting the north of #Madagascar observed a gigantic, wholly black fossa investigating the interior of a tent. This inspired a later study of local knowledge about this animal. What do we know? A new article at Tetrapod Zoology ... tetzoo.com/blog/2025/10...

here's my take: I think humans are really fucking good. inherently. I think we are amazingly kind and giving. and everything about the world we live in is an attempt to stop us from being that. I think our societies step in to stop us from being good. I think our culture punishes us. but we ARE good

In her dissertation, @smunoztobar.bsky.social showed that there was a diverse radiation of Panabachia in high-elevation Andean páramo habitats (doi.org/10.3390/inse...). Now most of these have proper names, with 22 species described in our latest paper, in ZooKeys: doi.org/10.3897/zook...
Plate of 10 dorsal photographs of new Panabachia species, with scale bars showing each to be roughly 1mm in length. They are somewhat typical pselaphine rove beetles, short-bodied, brownish-orange, with short elytra and clubbed antennae. The species are as follows: A. Panabachia pahuma; B. P. pastazae; C. P. romeroi; D. P. salebrosa; E. P. urbana; F. P. carltoni; G. P. patera; H. P. vigilans; I. P. perdita; J. P. ambulans.Male genitalia photos of nine new Panabachia species. Most have a thin and curved median lobe with coiled lateral accessory sclerites. Two on the bottom are more rounded with fimbriate apices, while a third at bottom right is asymmetrical with a coiled lateral plate. The species are as follows: A. Panabachia papallacta; B. P. ananay; C. P. cayambi; D. P. cryptica; E. P. caranqui; F. P. patera; G. P. vigilans; H. P. perdita; I. P. ambulans.

“Because so many aspects of Greek life depended on the sea, a vase in the shape of a lobster claw is not surprising. It is, however, exceptional and may be a variant of the askos—a bag-shaped oil container provided with a vertical mouth and strap handle. The Dionysiac iconography of the lobster claw suggests that it was a novelty item used at symposia (drinking parties).”official museum photo, top down view on grey background

For World Rhinoceros Day, I present this white x black rhinoceros hybrid. Concerns that hybrids would be infertile have been raised. Authors have urged unrestricted access to plenty of conspecific mates where both species exist or, if this is impossible, physically isolating the two species.

Tiliqua rugosa is a species of blue-tongued skink native to Australia that has many names: Shingleback Bobtail 'Sleepy Lizard' & my favorite: Pinecone Lizard. Let's talk about the time a zookeeper's burnt lunch led to a discovery about how the sleepy lizard survives Australian wildfires.
A vaguely pinecone-shaped lizard (skink) with blunt tail and similar head.  Coloration is predominantly black  with yellow banding.  It looks towards the camera with the body in profile.  It's sitting on red sand/dirt with a small tuft of yellow vegetation.
