Some #Caturday Science!🧪 This is Miko the Siberian tiger (Panthera tigris tigris) from GarLyn Zoo Wildlife Park (non-AZA accredited, in Michigan's UP). Miko is showing his winter weight, but you're also seeing a PRIMORDIAL POUCH swinging under his tummy. Let's talk about these pendulous paunches.

Downside: The US now has government goon squads, and deploys them to try to intimidate voters into voting the way the president wants. Upside: They don’t have nearly enough goons. Not even close. They’re hoping fear will make up for that big shortfall, but it won’t.

The simplest, most effective help is water that doesn’t freeze. A heated birdbath, or a shallow dish refilled with fresh water every morning High-energy food: black-oil sunflower seed, suet & unsalted peanuts. Shelter: leave nest boxes up over winter. Empty boxes become roosts on freezing nights.

Omigod, this is the most heartwarming story possible! Backpack (bear 89) is the son of the 2019 winner of Fat Bear Week, Holly (bear 435). In 2007, he injured his foot & a practice of riding on momma's Holly's back had a new meaning: he was mobility-restricted while it healed. So Holly moved him.

From DISCVR blog's Facebook page, a momma bear & a yearling cub on her back in the shallow water. I think the background has been swapped out, and I can't rule out some AI use there? God, Facebook has become the social media for AI slop : (

The title of the article, which I link below, is "How Bear 89 earned the name Backpack"

My greatest frustrating has been with policy wonks who persist in thinking we can just keep doing normal policy analysis ("calling balls and strikes") in this situation. The President of the United States is both lawless and out of his mind. That preempts all normal discussion.
