Claude the albino alligator is dead
My story with @aidinvaziri.bsky.social
Lots of cool facts from biologists I've interviewed. Claude knew his name & briefly had a pit-mate named "Bonnie." Most common question from guests: "Is he real?"
RIP to an SF icon

Noticed the flag was flying at half-staff today on the U.S. Mint in San Francisco. Wondered at first if it was at half-staff to commemorate the death of pennies. 😅

I was on the seawall, watching them form this banner. Was amazing.
WOW! Protesters created a HUGE human sign on San Francisco’s Ocean Beach reading “No Kings YES on 50” to support California’s Prop 50 and stand up against Donald Trump’s fascist regime

From her lifetime of pioneering work with chimpanzees to her
tireless advocacy for the environment...
Jane Goodall was a one-of-a-kind treasure to the world!
I was lucky enough to be able to thank her personally when our paths crossed not long ago.
Thanks again, Ms. Goodall. You will be missed. ♥️

Primatologist and ethologist Jane Goodall has died at age 91
The work carried out in Tanzania by the British researcher revolutionized the way we look at chimpanzees, and consequently, at humans. A pioneer of modern ethology, she became an ambassador for the protection of wildlife. She died on October 1 in Los Angeles at the age of 91.
