squirrel: *points gun*
me: what do you want me to do?
squirrel: *gestures at sign*

squirrel: *makes hurry-up motion*
me: NOT A SQUIRREL!

Sign on a library book drop sign requesting people to yell "NOT A SQUIRREL" to confirm they are human and not a squirrel trying to steal Keith's lunch.

While the range of physical diversity dogs show is often thought to be the result of intense breeding over the last 200 years, a new Science study suggests domestic dogs began developing their distinctive forms thousands of years before humans started shaping modern breeds. https://scim.ag/4nVRhNq
The emergence and diversification of dog morphology
Dogs exhibit an exceptional range of morphological diversity as a result of their long-term association with humans. Attempts to identify when dog morphological variation began to expand have been con...

A giant tsunamigenic rock avalanche (1 km²) that traveled ~16 km (partly onto ice) has just been dated to 10.9 ka in south Greenland! 😲
Impressive case and paper! 👏

Contemporary to the one we just dated in Ecrins massif! ⏱️

Such events are expected to be more frequent due to climate change! 🔥

I just finished a meeting about archaeology and the First Lego League with students from a school in Missouri and... what a fantastic experience!

Thanks to @skypeascientist.bsky.social for this initiative connecting scientists with schools! Best of luck to this amazing group of students!

Some of the stray dogs living near Chernobyl have recently turned blue. This confused scientists for weeks, until they realized they had simply been rolling around in chemicals from a nearby set of portable toilets. 14/10 for all
a stray dog stands in a bushy area. the dog is blue with golden eyes. he looks majestic as he stares off into the distance. a group of 4 dogs rest together in a bushy area. two of the dogs are tan, one is black, and the last is blue with long, scruffy fur. a blue dog is mid-step as he walks through brush.

Airborne laser scanning reveals stone walls stretching several kilometers across Europe's Karst Plateau, on the border between Slovenia and Italy, likely built over 4,000 years ago to herd and corral red deer—a legacy of coordinated hunting. In PNAS: https://ow.ly/urYx50Xir5z

Jane Goodall has passed… What a big loss for the conservation of nature, and awareness of respect and love for animals. Very sad news.

Great shots! I set up a hummingbird feeder and fountain station on my back deck and I try to get some pics when I can. This little guy was having a blast in the fountain on a hot day. #photography #hummingbirds #BirdOfTheDay #PNW
