The Nairobi National Museum is crammed with ancient specimens, from giant crocodile skulls to the bones of human ancestors. Scientists worry the collection won’t last much longer. on.wsj.com/3U7Vm4M">on.wsj.com/3U7Vm4M on.wsj.com/3U7Vm4M">on.wsj.com/3U7Vm4M

If all of the #GBF’s 23 targets are actually implemented by governments, by the 2030 deadline, writes WCS's @sslieberman, nature will indeed be in better shape than it is today. That's where 🇨🇴 #COP16Colombia comes in. pbs.org/wnet/nature/bl…

Mysis shrimp, anyone? These small crustaceans are a favorite food item for our northern seahorses. Seahorses eat almost constantly since they have a rudimentary digestive system that lacks a stomach. They will consume thousands of crustaceans in a single day!

True to its name, our #BirdOfTheWeek thrives in boulder-strewn slopes, canyons, & cliffs. They nest in cracks and crevices out of sight, but it’s still easy to locate a breeding pair. 👀 What distinctive feature marks a Rock Wren nest site? 🪨 Find out: bit.ly/3U1cKs0.

While leaf litter may be unsightly to some, the leaves strewn across your lawn are a cornucopia of food, shelter, and habitat for a variety of species. In addition, decomposing leaves supply yards with critical nutrients. Consider leaving the leaves for wildlife this fall.

Happy came over to see me when I stopped by this afternoon to visit.


Here’s another look at Happy seen from the monorail ⁦@BronxZoo


Someone posted a pic of Happy lying down & stated she was in distress. She is not. A pic from another angle shows why she is lying down. We put a big mound of fresh sand in the exhibit & she goes straight for it!

On this day in 1936, the last known thylacine—a wolf-like marsupial known as the Tasmanian tiger—died at the Hobart Zoo in Tasmania. The animal’s passing marked the extinction of its species, and underscores the current need to protect our planet’s wildlife before it’s too late.
