I learned today that (1) you don't need any mangroves around to get mangrove crabs, and that (2) like many animals they go nuts for bread (I didn't bait it; someone must have dropped a scrap of bread on the pier). Every time I turned around, it raced back for another bite.

What's your Briggs-Meyers personality type?
I'm an INFP
I always thought I was an INFJ but I re-did the test and in all honesty, I feel like this result is the true me.

The Allende meteorite is a 4.5-billion-year-old time capsule. How do we read this ancient history? Join Museum Curator Denton Ebel as he reveals the key: chemical thermodynamics. It’s the same science that explains why it takes longer to boil pasta on a mountaintop than at sea level. Watch.👇

We had some solid colugo (a.k.a., "flying lemur"... it's not actually a lemur) sightings in Borneo, including a few that were alert and curious during daytime hours.
Borneo is the land of odd flying critters: we saw colugos, flying squirrels, flying frogs, flying lizards, and even a flying snake.

Hi, Fern!
We’re excited to welcome a new bat-eared fox to Zoo Boise! Fern, a six-month-old female, joins male Fletcher in their African Plains home.

Hi, Fern!
Made it through the dentist.
Now I'm tired AF because of all the anxious energy I expended.
Rewarded myself with a sugar free Frosted Gingerbread Latte from Dutch Bros. OMG it's so good!

Ugh. Off to the dentist. I'd really rather go anywhere else. They really need to start employing therapy dogs for this shit.

The Red-headed Woodpecker is such a sharp looking bird. Love the steel blue edging to their black feathers.

IMPORTANT: NASA map shows temperatures of up to 160 degrees on Phoenix streets & sidewalks. All that unrelenting concrete and asphalt for cars. Not nearly enough trees. They start with ridiculous heat that’s only getting worse with the #ClimateCrisis, and then make it much worse with bad design.

Data from June 19, when the daily high was 106 degrees, shows asphalt across the city that day was between 120 and 160 degrees.

My experience with Ruffed Grouse is that unlike their “heart attack bird” cousins, the Sharp-tailed Grouse, they just walk around like they own the place (which they do) #birds 🌿
