EEEEEEEE EEEEEEEEE EEEEEEE
That's right! It's International Bat Appreciation Day! We share our planet with over 1400 species of bat, making the second most abundant mammal order, and they perform a wide variety of ecological roles, from dispersing seeds to pollinating flowers to eating thousands of insects in a single night! Over 200 bat species are listed as Threatened by the International Union for the Conservation of Nature--that is over 14 percent of all bats!
YOU can help endangered bats today by donating to Pennsylvania Bat Rescue at this link. This PA-based organization rehabilitates sick or injured bats and helps educate people like you and me in how we can create more bat-friendly environments.
If you want to learn about particularly-cool bat species native to New Zealand, check out this Consider Nature article on the Pekapeka, the bat that walks:
For the rest of the day, Consider Nature will be bat-bombing Tumblr with some of our favorite bat species to share them with the world!

To a friend I never met
I know this might seem like a place of death
And maybe it’s true
Shelves lined with remnants of a time
Not just forgotten, but before memory
There is sadness here too
Every fossil is a miracle and a tragedy in one
But how can this place hold only sadness when you are here with me?
Your form is scattered
Tumbled by the tides of the earth
I will find its parts
Your hands are bare
Stripped of strength and power
I will hold them gently
Your bones are brittle
Broken by unthinkable age
I will make them whole
Your story is hidden
Stifled by rock and clay
I will make it seen
I could not be there
To love you in your time
I will love you in mine

Reblogs = sample size etc etc
I'm aiming for informative, not funny - any context on how long is too long to bother watching would be nice as well so feel free to share in the tags
#youtube#twitch#scicomm#videos#video essays#my art#science#(context: im thinking about making a youtube channel again since all the informative videos about hiveminds are less than 5 minutes long)#(you cant even get into the drivers of eusociality in 5 minutes cmon)#but also i know i like my videos much longer than anyone else i know sooo

When night falls, shit on the reef gets weird.
Parrotfish, a decidedly diurnal fish, gotta shut it all down, but they don't want predators to sniff em while they're snoozing. So what do they do? They cover themselves in a big ol' ball of snot so they're harder to sniff out.
P.S. I'm teaching a class starting April 30th about nocturnal animals, it's 4 weeks and just for fun and we're definitely going to talk about parrotfish snot bubbles, and bats who babysit for each other, and bats who have best friends, and how some fungi lasso nematodes and all sorts of stuff. Check it out

It’s Fossil Friday! Take a bite out of the weekend with Dilophosaurus wetherilli, a carnivorous dinosaur that lived some 194 million years ago during the Early Jurassic. This dino acquired its name, which means “double-crested reptile,” from the paired crests on its skull. They were possibly used for display. This specimen was found in 1942 at the Kayenta Formation in Tuba City, Arizona. You can see it in the Museum’s Hall of Saurischian Dinosaurs!

Mimicking Plant Movement
Many plants control the curvature of their leaves by selectively pumping water into cells that line the outer surface. This swelling triggers bending. Engineers created their own version of this structure. (Image credit: T. Gao et al.; via GoSM)
