The team also found evidence of metabolic cell stress in Yuka's muscle tissue, which seems to support being attacked by large predators, but how Yuka died is still unknown. 🦣

Yuka--named for the people who discovered it from the village of Yukagir--produced the best results. Remarkably, their research contradicts what its physical attributes suggests: male genetics, but possible female morphology.

There were six blue jays outside my window at work at times throughout the day. I couldn't get a picture of all of them (they moved too fast, hopping across the ground, leaping from branch to branch and feeder and then to the ground again). 🪶
