"Nature always finds a way—to be an anteater"

Myrmecophagous - shalln't say it - is a new word to me meaning ant- and termite-eating mammals. Anteaters are so weird and one of my all time faves and it seems evolution's, too ...

Lovely read 🐜➡️ bit.ly/3UAEp2N

An anteater lounges in the grass against a tree, its long snout and fur catching the light. One clawed arm is draped across its body, and a wooden wall is behind. A giant anteater sits upright on a sunny day, on the grass. In front of a wooden fence, its long head and nose is tilted up with a very long thin tongue dangling down.

The planets have been conspiring! A very rare line-up has been forming, for our eyes only...

From Friday, a New Moon and (in England) clear skies, collaborate to show Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, Uranus, Saturn & Neptune, all in a neat row.
