We present the first evidence of seasonal coat colour changes in cattle, with paler individuals in the wet season and darker ones in the dry season, suggesting plastic phenotypes. The main driver of seasonal coat colour appears to be thermoregulation, supporting the thermal melanism hypothesis.

🌿 Native to tropical coastlines, the Sea Mango (Cerbera manghas) thrives where few plants can tolerate salt, heat, and shifting sands. But beneath its fragrant flowers and mango-like fruit lies a potent danger: cerberin, a toxic cardiac glycoside that has caused fatal poisonings across Asia.

Male fiddler crabs show sexual dimorphism, with one claw much larger than the other. This oversized claw helps attract mates, defend territory, and even cool the crab down by releasing body heat while it's active on hot tidal flats
