The Tasselled Wobbegong is a master of disguise that can eat a fish almost as big as itself in one gulp. It's classified as a shark, but when it lays on the sea floor it looks like a harmless rug if you manage to see it. But with powerful jaws and sharp teeth they are no fish to mess with.

Alright birdsky, strap in, let me show you how my morning went. 🪶
Since it's getting dark before 5pm I'm trying to move my daily walks to the morning, I went down to the local wetlands to chase the most friendly belted kingfisher on Earth. I got distracted by buffleheads! bsky.app/profile/dptb...

Sesame (Street) Workshop has a heap of resources for grown ups and kids experiencing traumatic or difficult events - displacement, grief, disasters, violence, foster care, divorce, and parents in jail/or struggling with addictions. They've got nice printables you can use with kids or (yourself).
What's a resource that you can get for free that you think more people should know about?
