Scientists named a new tarantula genus after satyrs, the well-endowed half-goat men of Greek myth. Like their namesake, Satyrex ferox males have huge palps—near the mouth—possibly evolved to mate from a safer distance with aggressive females:

Spiders as robotic grippers? 🕷️ Researchers made a stunning discovery at Rice University. Dead spiders are being used as mechanical grippers. Yes, they use dead spiders as grippers... But how? 👀 It turns out that spiders use hydraulics to move their legs. They extend their legs by contracting their prosoma chamber, which sends fluid into their bodies. Scientists selected wolf spiders that can lift 130% of their weight. Using such a solution could be useful for pick-and-place processes in electronics assembly, for instance. Their discovery might start the field of necrobotics. Given my arachnophobia, I'm not sure how I'd react to such a grip. 🕸️ ~~ ♻️ Join the weekly robotics newsletter, and never miss any news →

Fireflies produce light in their abdomen. The enzyme luciferase acts on luciferin in the presence of magnesium ions, ATP, and oxygen to create light. Fireflies use it to communicate with one another. Males frequently flash a specific pattern to attract females.

Baby howls! The six-week-old Red Wolf pups are starting to find their voices. The litter includes six males and three females, and is the latest success in recovering this critically endangered species. The Red Wolf family will remain behind the scenes at our offsite facility.

If you gave your child a credit card and they kept maxing it out, you wouldn’t blindly raise their limit—you’d help them change their behavior and figure out where to cut back on their spending. The approach to our national debt should be no different.

All this work to remain modest & not draw attention to their physical beauty in public And they still can’t stay away from social media while trying to get the attention of 40.1 million strangers who viewed this video about their appearance Ironic. Females are fascinating

Eagles come out the sky in many different ways but this when they hold their wings outstretched the slow their speed is by far my favorite. It showcases the amazing power in their wings and their ability to control themselves mid flight.

Among the Wodaabe people of the Sahel, beauty is not exclusively associated with women. During Gerewol, a traditional courtship festival, men paint their faces, apply elaborate makeup, dress in ornate clothing, and perform dances to attract the attention of women. Wodaabe men have practiced facial painting and adornment for generations, with ethnographic and photographic records documenting the tradition since at least the mid-20th century.

Madonna was 65 on this tour. I went to this tour. She spent hours performing and did 81 shows of it. People can only fantasize of their favorites being able to do this when they reach 65. Some can’t even do it in their 20s. Oh, and btw…my video from the same tour.

This moment really touches me🥹 Seeing them in different groups now, each one thriving and shining in their own way. It’s incredible to see how far they’ve come, each finding their place and growing into their own. Watching them succeed and find their confidence is such a beautiful thing. I’m just so happy for them, knowing they’re on the path they were always meant to be on. It’s a feeling of pure joy and pride. 🖤

In elephant society, it’s the mothers who raise the babies and everyone, from auties to cousins pitches in. But when young adolescent bulls leave their natal herd, it is patriarchal older bulls who help keep their behaviour in check and pass on their learned wisdom to the brash young bachelors. We see this at our Reintegration Units all the time. Huge wild bulls have played a vital role in socialising with our orphaned males (and sired many a baby among our ex-orphan females too). Now our own orphans are taking on the mantle of mentor. Rapsu- a 23 year-old ex-orphan - is one such male who the younger bulls hero-worship. With good reason too as he will take the younger orphans under his wing and help shepherd them to a wild life.

Cuckoos practice brood parasitism by laying their eggs in the nests of other bird species and leaving the host parents to raise the chick. In this case, a meadow pipit is feeding a nestling she believes is her own, but it is actually a cuckoo
