Do pandas’ gut microbiome process bamboo into alcohol? Animal Superpowers Anonymous wants to know.

It’s more of a Thanksgiving (in the US) cactus than a Christmas one. Maybe we should call them holiday cactuses. 😂

If you’re calling these animals a “sea flap flap,” your taxonomy is out of date and you really need to get with the times.
Rays have been called “charismatic pancakes of wonder” for many years now.
