The colder autumn nights in Germany coaxes this magnificent eagle, Oropherion, to spend his nights in his heated indoor winter aviary. This is an African Martial Eagle (Polemaetus bellicosus), the largest eagle species native to Africa. (Cr @birdsofprey_nathalie_denolf) #birds #eagle

🚨🚨Emergency protest🚨🚨 The Drexel board will be at the constitution center in Old City (525 Arch St, Philadelphia, PA 19106) from 5-6. We're asking Drexel to disaffiliate from the Academy of Nat Sci to allow them to negotiate what's best for them w/o Drexel interference. Be there.

The headlines have hope, you know? I think that matters. Drexel wants us to think it's over, and the city of Philadelphia is calling bullshit. It's something we're good at. www.nbcphiladelphia.com/news/local/a...

Academy of Natural Sciences closes its doors, but it may not be gone forever

Visitors lined up for what could be their final trip to the Academy as supporters urged Drexel to accept a funding offer.

The press coverage of the Academy of Natural Sciences has gone from "Oh how sad" to sounding like a hostage negotiation. Which maybe sounds bad, but elected leaders, the press, the people online, all saying "You don't have to do this, man" is better than mourning. share.inquirer.com/YTQg0s

Philadelphia shouldn’t give up on the Academy of Natural Sciences’ historic museum | Editorial

The Academy's 150-year-old building faces roughly $150 million in deferred maintenance costs. While that may seem daunting, it is not insurmountable.

Nothing helps me design wildlife for my fantasy book quite like consulting the fossil record. Yeah deer and wolves and bears are cool but... wholly rhinos and terror birds are right there.

If you care about keeping the Academy of Natural Sciences open to the public in Philadelphia, I need you to read and share this thread. Trish Wellenbach was sent from the mayor's office to oversee the Academy of Natural sciences situation. She needs to hear from us. Here comes the action item:

Drexel University is choosing to shut down the country’s oldest natural history museum, The Academy of Natural Sciences, for “funding” reasons (even though it costs .6% of their annual budget and they spent WAY more on ai nobody wants this year!) Go to save-the-academy.org to help.

Drexel justified it's move with rather flimsy financial reasons and no plan is given for the building or collections, which include countless, priceless specimens like the the holotype of Hadrosaurus, the animal you see here.

At the beginning of the month Drexel University made public that they want to close the Academy of Natural Sciences at the end of the month. The academy is the oldest natural history museum in the Americas and this would end more than 200 years of research and outreach.
