One of my pet woodlice. Very nice brown colour. It’s also one of my biggest. This one’s usually hiding so I rarely see it. #zoology #InverteFest

Was selbst ihr Nerds vielleicht noch nicht über Bärtierchen wusstet. (Plus eine etwas überlange Einleitung über die halbe Evolutionsgeschichte, aber speichert dieses Wissen, solange es noch verfügbar ist.)
A dinosaur mural hidden away on the side of the Chemistry building of Glasgow University where it faces the Zoology building across a narrow, dead-end lane. I've often wondered if the Chernistry Department even knows it's there!
By the way, before anyone points it out, I know the one with the sail on its back isn't really a dinosaur, but another type of ancient giant reptile!
Warum Termiten so erfolgreich sind (aber nicht in kühleren Breiten):

"Once considered simple and 'primitive', the 'reptilian brain is now recognized to govern complex behaviours', write De Meester and Baeckens. They argue that reptiles show 'immense potential' as model species for research into the 'mechanisms, the development, and evolution of animal cognition'.”

I, for one, welcome our new reptilian overlords : P

Where can I find feral or wild humans? I seem to be surrounded by domesticated humans.

For all the Big Bird lovers and all the scientists here, a talk coming out of a zoologist's dissertation research: "What, if Anything, Is Big Bird?"
Zoologist Mike Dickison talks about the PhD research he's been doing on a flightless bird -- the "Big Bird" of the title.

This is a beautiful little detail on the door of Glasgow University's Graham Kerr Building. Designed by J.J.Burnet and built in the 1920s, it was originally constructed as the Zoology Building.

How #elephants plan their journeys: New study reveals energy-saving strategies

EurekAlert!How elephants plan their journeys: New study reveals energy-saving strategiesA new study has revealed that African Elephants have an extraordinary ability to meet their colossal food requirements as efficiently as possible. Data from over 150 elephants demonstrated that these giants plan their journeys based on energy costs and resource availability. The findings – published today (26 March) in the Journal of Animal Ecology– could provide crucial information to help protect these iconic animals and their habitats.

#Zoology Question :
Has the global ecological impact of the domestic cat (felis catus) ever been evaluated ?
Their impact on wildlife and urban environment is documented, but some aspects seem less documented : Domestic wastes may be possible to assess, but no trace anywhere of their impact on global warming (strictly carnivorous regime, cat pictures on the internet, cat bots on social media...etc.)
They are family, no question about that, but it could just be huge and made me curious.
Wild animals possess medical knowledge we can use. Monarch butterflies, chimps, and many other species use medicines derived from plants. #botany #chemistry #zoology #science #medicine https://www.newscientist.com/article/mg26535350-700-what-the-extraordinary-medical-know-how-of-wild-animals-can-teach-us/
