Dragonflies and Damselflies have been around for 300 Million years, they live up to 6 months & feed on mosquitos & other insects, keeping numbers in check. They are a good species to have around as they require clean water, indicating a good ecosystem & they do not bite or sting contrary to rumour.

Raccoon (Procyon lotor): A mother Raccoon takes care of her young, these mammals are native to North America and have a body length of 70cm (28in). Its greyish coat mostly consists of dense underfur which insulates it against cold weather. Photo taken by Casey Willis in Sebago, Maine, USA 🦝 #raccoon

Humans have many unusual traditions. But did you know animals’ strange behaviors can become culture too? Out now in Current Biology (doi.org/10.1016/j.cu...) we show the rise and spread of a surprising tradition: interspecies infant abduction. Interactive timeline (www.ab.mpg.de/671374) 🧵 (1/12)

Quokka (Setonix brachyurus): 56cm (21in). This Australian mammal is a small macropod about the size of a domestic cat. Like other marsupials in the macropod family (such as kangaroos and wallabies), the quokka is herbivorous and mainly nocturnal. #quokka #marsupial #macropod #nature #australia
