How do you "see" with electric eyes? How does collective behavior emerge from individual interactions? Nocturnal weakly electric fish evolved to do this, but studying naturalistic social behavior is very hard. Our solution? Virtual 'fish' 🤖🐟⚡ 📄 1/n

This video gives a rare glimpse into the "fishy" proclivities of wolves in our area. The video was taken in spring just a short distance from a creek wolves have fished at for many years. This past spring was the 10th year we have documented wolves hunting and catching fish—a behavior that had not been documented in boreal systems such as ours until our work, in part, because it is a tough behavior to observe. What is particularly fascinating is that this wolf was not only carrying a fish but carrying two of them. This is interesting because when we captured this behavior on video for the first time in 2018, we observed a wolf fishing, drop them on the creek bank, and wade back in to continue fishing. I.e., the wolf was not immediately consuming the fish it caught but rather fishing while the fishing was hot, and then once the fishing cooled down, would consume the fish. And this video seems to provide some additional evidence that it might be a widespread strategy wolves use. Two other interesting tidbits from this video: 1.) The wolf that dropped the fish was a yearling wolf. The wolf that grabbed the fish at the end was a different wolf. More specifically, the breeding female of the Half-Moon Pack and the older sister of the yearling wolf. 2.) Surprisingly, the black bear seemed very perplexed at finding this fish, and just left it alone without even taking a little nibble. We would have expected a bear to readily take a free meal like this but apparently not. We have collected of detailed information on how, when, where, and why wolves hunt fish in our area. You can read all about that in our scientific article (which is freely-available at the link below!): Freund et al. 2023. The ethology of wolves foraging on freshwater fish in a boreal ecosystem.

What do ya suggest we call this behavior? 📸: Erick.Higuera/IG The female argonaut octopus shown here is demonstrating impressive social behavior that you’ve most likely never seen before… 👀 Picture this: a bunch of fearless octo-mothers, who have been working their whole lives to build the perfect egg casing by secreting calcite out of their arms, banding together to protect one another. That’s what we think these female argonauts are doing. Instead of braving the ocean solo, they lock arms and bring the most squishy & exposed parts of their bodies together. 🗣️ Argonaut to Argonaut: “Do you want to form an alliance with me?” “Absolutely I do.” Each female puts herself at risk to safeguard the eggs of her fellow sisters. It’s difficult to watch— but believe it or not, there is NO research on this behavior. Not only is this behavior admirable, but it also suggests that octopuses are capable of complex social behavior that is not yet fully understood. The sense of unity and cooperation in female argonauts’ actions is truly inspiring. These behaviors challenge the common belief that octopuses are solitary animals and show a level of intelligence that is still being researched. If you read this far, comment “argo” and we’ll send you our top blog posts on this species so you can learn even more about em! (How she makes the shell, about the pea sized non-shelled male, and how they ride jellies around) OK ok ok— if you’re still here— This video leaves us with a bunch of questions (maybe you can help?) … 1. Are the actions of argonaut mothers working together to safeguard their young an example of emotional intelligence? (the ability to understand and respond to the emotions of others) or is it something else entirely? 2. With a lifespan of ~1 year— is this simply an instinct or do they recognize each others vulnerabilities? 🏷️ #science #nature #biology #reef #underwater #diving #sea #biodiversity #ocean #animals #fish #octopus #natgeo #nationalgeographic #natgeoyourshot #scuba #scubadiving #myoctopusteacher #love #wildlife

Wake Up NJ Speech from Trenton today in the Assembly Appropriations Committee on Bill A5267 How are you doing members of the committee, My name is Michael from Wake Up New Jersey, Bill A5267 means to procure and incentivize transmission-scale energy storage for "renewables" such as solar and wind How is this being funded? Well through your NJ electric bills! Starting July 1st 2027, a "minimum" of $60M will be collected via the societal benefits charges or SBC Might be asking yourself, what's an SBC? When first digging into why our bills were so high in February this year I had no idea, but They are hidden charges in your electric bills to pay for mostly pet projects The Board of Public Utilities or BPU, recommends the SBC funding level for 2025 to be?......anyone here know? It's over $344M per year in our NJ electric bills Why don't we go over a few these programs, Ever Heard of Charge Up New Jersey? It's a program that gives folks up to $4,250 dollars for buying Electric Vehicles and chargers. This is costing NJ residents over $30 million dollars a year in their electric bills How about 'It Pay$ to Plug In', this program has spent $100M since 2012 on EV chargers in your electric Bill! This program cost ratepayers $27M this year alone as an SBC Per year Electric Vehicle Programs total $82.5M, Clean Energy Equity costs us $16.6M, NJ Wind total $22M and Energy Storage is currently costing the rate payers $29.5M per year, just to stress again this bill your voting on today will jump it up to $60M a year at a minimum! More than double it's current total Why is all this in our New Jersey Electric Bills? Want to know the real problem NJ? Democrats here have been pillaging your pockets, nickel and diming you year after year for pet projects in your electric bills. Now with the rake hikes happening, they are frantically trying to steamroll multiple bills in committees in an effort to deflect from the main issue Since 2017 - 6 power plants have closed totaling over half our power here in NJ, Democrats championed coal and nuclear plants being shut down, betting on Windfarms that never happened, this is a huge reason our electric bills are so high here, we need sensible solutions, not a green agenda storage push that caused this mess New Jersey residents pay over $8,100 more per year than the average American Household on their bills and pay around $700 more per month in overall bills compared to the national average My handle receives so many messages, comments, concerns from citizens that are struggling daily, some working 2 to 3 jobs, this state is becoming more unaffordable each and every day, and bills coming out of this Legislature that add to that burden, are not good for the hardworking people of New Jersey We are already hurting with the worst property and corporate taxes, one of the worst income and gas tax rates, and the absolute worst overall tax burden at over 54% of your lifetime earnings being syphoned from our NJ residents How much more do you want to take from us? How do you justify so much money hidden in our electric bills yearly? This endless spending path is unsustainable, we need more money in our pockets, not less Voting yes for this literally raises our electric bills yet again, is that really what you want to do to the people of NJ? Thank you Any questions? Or comments?
