Macro of a Julia Butterfly family (Dryas iulia). They engage in lachryphagy where they drink the tears of caimans and turtles. The tears contain minerals they need and can't get from flowers. #butterfly #nature #ecology #wildlife

Jacques-Cartier National Park features has a distinct microclimate. The high plateaus host the cold, coniferous Boreal Forest, while the sheltered valley floor provides warmth for deciduous trees - sugar maple and yellow birch, creating a rare overlap of two major forest ecosystems. #nature #photo

Your brain is like a muscle it only gets stronger when you challenge it 🧠 Going on "autopilot" stops growth, but learning new skills creates "good discomfort" that builds new connections. Science proves your brain can change and level up at any age #science #aging
Your brain can be trained, much like your muscles – a neurologist explains how to boost your brain health
Challenging the brain by exposing it to new situations, tasks and skills can improve its efficiency, much like strength training does for our muscles. But maximum efficiency requires optimal rest.

Ancient giant kangaroos could have hopped despite their huge size
Long thought to have walked bipedally, like us, Australia’s extinct giant kangaroos have features that indicate they could also have bounced

The Rufous-tailed Hummingbird (Amazilia tzacatl) ranges from Mexico through Central & S. America. By aggressively defending its turf, it forces rivals to fly further for nectar, accidentally spreading pollen across vast distances and boosting plant genetic diversity. #birds #nature #photo #wildlife
