Platypuses wiggle their heads from side to side while foraging, like a high-speed metal-detector. But instead of metal, their bills detect the tiny electrical impulses given off by their prey's muscle signals (including their hearts). #platypus #Tasmania #WildOz #MammalWatching

I love these ancient muddy bastards. Contentiously, I reckon I've seen them in the Victoria Creek near Williamstown in the Adelaide Hills, and in the Onkaparinga Gorge downstream of Clarendon. Sage locals say I'm nuts - "they're only water rats" - which are here too.

Platypuses' bills can sense the electrical impulses running through the nerves of their prey - they move their bills like metal-detectors to hunt. They are one of the world's only electro-receptive #mammals. #fieldwork #Tasmania #platypus #WildOz #MammalWatching #platypuses

A family pretended to sneak in a bottle of brandy into the hospital so their nana could have a last drink while in hospice. Side note. The family was given permission by her doctor. It was the mischievous part they knew their nana would enjoy. 🥰

It's a scandal that there are tens of thousands of metal frames, signs, cones and sandbags needlessly discarded by National Highways and their unaccountable contractors. Tens of millions of pounds being left, abandoned, by the side of the road... Natasha Leake

Comparison! Watch the videos of how the ambassadors of Afghanistan and Pakistan present their diplomatic credentials, and the difference becomes clear immediately. ▪︎ On one side: humiliation, bowing the head, and abandoning one’s own culture. ▪︎ On the other side: standing by one’s culture, looking eye to eye, and holding the head high. Afghans do not bow their heads.

There was heartbreak for the Three Lions in the World Cup semi-final after losing 2-1 to Argentina, ending their hopes of bringing football home for the first time since 1966. England took the early lead, but two late goals sent the South American side through. Prince William told the team to hold their heads high, but added he was gutted at the result. There was controversy after the game, as several of the Argentina players held up a flag given to them by their supporters that said "The Falklands Islands are Argentinian." #worldcup #football #england

Pope Leo XIV: Integration does not mean erasing the history of the person who arrives, nor demanding that they leave behind everything that forms part of their memory. Neither does it mean creating parallel worlds, closed off from one another, where people live side by side without truly meeting. Integration is a reciprocal journey. The one who arrives learns to inhabit a new land, and the one who receives learns to enlarge their own home without diluting their identity or closing their heart to encounter.

3 people rescued from the frigid waters of Lake Simcoe after venturing onto unsafe ice, resulting in the collapse of their side-by-side through the unstable surface. While #OPPAviation offered aerial support, excellent rescue efforts by Rama Fire allowed for a happy ending.

Unique looking cats that are pure gold! 😂 Did you know: Cats have spines on their tongues tiny, backward-facing hooks made of keratin. They use them like a built-in comb to strip meat off bones and groom their fur… which is also why their licks feel like sandpaper. Your cat’s specialty: zoomie demon, contortionist, or professional side-eye?

Two hearts. One dream. One journey 🇷🇺❤️ Today, we welcomed a beautiful couple who chose to chase their future together in Russia. From securing their admission… to getting their invitation… to finally stamping their visas - we walked this journey side by side with them. Now they’re here, starting a brand new chapter, hand in hand. This is more than travel. This is love, courage, and a shared vision. Moments like this remind us why we do what we do. Your dreams are valid — and you don’t have to chase them alone. Russia is not just a destination… it’s the beginning.

INVEST IN MANAGERS Student managers at high majors are so valuable to the team, not only from a work standpoint but also with the energy they bring. Often times they are the ones rebounding for players and helping them get their extra work in. I feel like the more programs can invest in their managers to grow on the development side… it will help their players maximize their extra work and also build better managers.
