Our friend the Thick-skinned Harlequin Frog is a critically endangered toad who lives at high altitudes in the Andes mountains of Ecuador and Peru! They are also known as Schmidt's Stubfoot Toad, named after Eduard Oscar Schmidt, who first described them as a species in 1857! (photo by Jasmin Odar)

You call that a Whoosh?
That's not a Whoosh. THIS is a whoosh.

Liverwort Athalamia hyalina, looking like the advance party for a goofy alien invasion. The liverwort structures are about 1cm high. #liverwort #bryophyte #fungifriends

THE VIEW FROM THE FLIGHT DECK: The storm hasn't even started, but auroras are already dancing around the Arctic Circle. Pilot Matt Melnyk saw them Dec. 7th while flying 37,000 feet over Greenland spaceweathergallery2.com/indiv_upload...

Trump's reckless tariffs have been crushing farmers.
He found $40 billion to bail out Argentina.
But only $12 billion to help the farmers hurt by his policies.
You deserve better.
