I can't believe you caught this on a camera trap, and front stage centre! 🤯 Absolutely incredible, well done @thomasluypaert.bsky.social and co-authors!

Ever wondered what a jaguar’s love life looks like? Neither had we — until we captured the first-ever video of jaguar mating in the wild, featuring a rare black jaguar. 🐆😍🐈⬛ 🧪🌏🌐🍁. Check out the full video here: onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/...

‼️ Dear MARMAM community,
We, at the DEI Committee of the Society for Marine Mammalogy, are beginning the process of establishing an Indigenous Representation Subcommittee, the idea of which came out of an ad hoc meeting held at the SMM conference in Boorloo (Perth) in the Whajuk region of WA (1/n)

I would really like to see @marinemammalogy.bsky.social add its name to this list, particularly given how critical federal bodies like the NSF and NOAA are to marine mammal research and conservation.
Today, a broad coalition of scientific professional societies who represent over 92,000 scientists are speaking out against the politicization and demonization of Federally funded science and government scientist jobs.
It was an honor to help the Union of Concerned Scientists with this! 🧪🌎
