Out in the CNMI here, where I currently am, the best answer I know of is the local Golden Huntsman, Olios sp. Relatively abundant among the spiders here, but undescribed regardless.

How does the alvinellid worm Paralvinella hessleri survive the toxic extremes of deep-sea #HydrothermalVents? A new study shows that it detoxifies its environment by forming orpiment minerals inside cells; this unique #biomineralization is a novel adaptation to toxic environments.🧪

🤔 Have you heard of the African black plum?
This versatile fruit can be used for jams & drinks, while its roasted seeds make a coffee-like beverage! ☕
It's time to rediscover Africa's #ForgottenCrops & their potential to transform agrifood systems

In a letter drawn from a posthumous collection of correspondence, published in 2019, the neurologist Oliver Sacks argued that society had no immunity to the seductions of digital life. “What we are seeing—and bringing on ourselves—resembles a neurological catastrophe on a gigantic scale,” he wrote.

Due to the forced diagonal-down perspective in Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door, a trick is employed whereby Mario actually walks faster towards/away from the camera than alongside the camera to create the illusion of smooth movement from that angle in particular.

"'We must not look at goblin men,

Hobbling down the glen.

You should not peep at Goblin men."

one of the rarest moments to witness when monitoring bird nests is the moment a chick fledges from its nest - it's all over before you know it, and you gotta be super lucky to record it.
