The Picasso Moth is misnamed. This is clearly the work of Mondrian.

I have too many photos of sloths and all are too cute to sort out and delete. Also, I can't remember which sloth (2-toed or 3-toed) has long hair vs short hair, brown vs grey, smiley face vs piggy face). I heard the explanation so many times but it simply wouldn't stick, I'll just have to google it.
Arenal volcano, Costa Rica.

We’re still discovering ancient species...
Millions of years before dinosaurs evolved, the saber-toothed Inostrancevia africana was “kind of the T.rex of their time.”
Incidentally, this apex predator was wiped out due to global warming during the Permian-Triassic Extinction. https://www.nytimes.com/2023/05/22/science/saber-tooth-fossil-south-africa.html?smid=nytcore-ios-share&referringSource=articleShare #science #nature #evolution
A Saber-Toothed Permian Predator From Long Before Evolution Came Up With Cats
As an extinction crisis wiped out species at the end of the Permian Period, a predatory species emerged that dominated Southern Africa’s domain.Jeanne Timmons (The New York Times)

Quite specific, but a very interesting article about #ants and their early evolution. The authors propose a 3 step scenario based on fossils and their interpretation. Really fascinating !

Weighing almost 40lbs (18kg) with a wingspan up to ~10ft (3m), they likely feasted on the gigantic moa birds I described in an earlier post. Maori oral tradition also suggests they may have attacked human children.
So what happened to this fierce apex predator? Once the moa disappeared due to excess hunting after the arrival of people, Haast’s eagle followed around 1400. https://nzbirdsonline.org.nz/species/haasts-eagle. #SharedPlanet #science #nature
