The collections at @nhm-london.bsky.social are full of glorious specimens esp the Flies. But they also come with lots of extra information

Fracking exploration wells are likely to proceed in the Kimberley. Given how much more we know about the risks of fracking, this seems dangerous.

It still surprises me how Powerful Owls can dilate their pupils independently. I suppose its very useful if you spend a lot of time in dappled light.

Fantastic footage !! Go the #platypus
Thanks @jackdashby.bsky.social for sharing
A #platypus waddles her way upstream, constantly foraging. As well as using touch to find food, platypus bills can detect the electrical impulses given off by their prey's muscular contractions.
