Marcus Gheeraerts had a line in pregnancy portraits, to serve as a model of virtue for the kids if mum died in childbirth. Cheerful! This unknown woman chose white-on-white for hers in 1595. Hope she survived….

Thanks to you, orphaned elephants always have a home.
For the youngest, that means a Keeper beside them through the night – sleeping above them, waking for feeds, offering comfort when they need it most.

‘Compulsory participation in sex’ has another name you know
Rep. Mike Turner: "If we're talking about Greenland, this is not art of the deal, this is more of a dating. game. We need to be more on how we would be a partner, not more how we could be compulsory."

Dogs leap the hatch, and all are fled."

Hopefully you all know how I love the mixture of archaeology and art. Today I visited the @wiltshiremuseum.bsky.social & saw the spellbinding collection of Rose Ferraby work. Of so many things precious to me - landscapes, sites, artefacts. One week left - go and see it! #archaeology #art #wiltshire

The Keepers call Korbessa "our little frog" – she loves sitting with her legs splayed out.
Rescued from a well near Meru in 2023, she arrived tiny but full of character and became Kaluku's undisputed mini-matriarch.

A ponderosa pinecone’s bracts form a beautiful symmetrical pattern of 13 counterclockwise & 8 clockwise spirals. It’s no coincidence they’re both Fibonacci numbers. As the bracts grow they form at an angle from each other that optimizes sunlight exposure; an irrational value (φ) guarantees it.

Sloe Gin - a warming, winter tipple first became popular in 19th century Britain; pungent and unpalatable unlicenced home brewed gin was made more appealing by adding sloes - growing in abundance on blackthorn hedges planted as part of widespread land enclosure.
