Such a cool study with surprise result 🤯 The #bird #retina works under anoxic conditions 👀 🐦 Check out the paper with in @nature.com ⬇️ And watch the supercool video of @sfb1372.bsky.social 🎞
#Birds can see without #oxygen. At least part of their retina does. A new @nature.com study of scientists from @au.dk with #SFB1372 contribution shows that the avian inner #retina functions under chronic anoxia, supported by anaerobic metabolism and the #pecten. 🐔👁️ doi.org/10.1038/s41586-025-09978-w
