Axolotls are still popping up. Scientists in Mexico just named a new fossil species. 🦎
Then there is the Borneo jungle. Someone found a parasite that parasitizes other parasites. It hunts those “zombie fungi” that puppet ants around. Nature really does hate itself sometimes.
And for those wondering if the Mediterranean is getting a little too crowded with teeth — yes. We have video of a Great White there. Now. 🦈
Video doesn’t just make for cool thumbnails. It actually helps conservationists plan where to look, what to protect, and how to save the species.
Shaking Ground
Venezuela got hit. Twice. Not just two quakes, but a “seismic doublet.” One quake transfers stress to the other part of the fault, snapping it moments later. Devastating. Satellite imagery shows exactly how much went down. 🛰️ Rescue teams are using those maps. They’re looking for people.
On a lighter note — barely — Norway scores at the World Cup? The ground literally shakes in Bergen. The university seismometers picked up the cheers. 🇳🇴
Moons and Politicians
Uranus is quiet, but its moons might be hiding secrets. New sims suggest these satellites hold traces of giant planets we never saw. Maybe missing ones? Who knows.
Meanwhile, Ivanka and Jared Kushner’s Albanian island project is causing a constitutional crisis. They built a $1.4B resort. Locals started a “flamingo revolution” in protest. It grew. The Prime Minister might get ousted because of two American names and too much concrete.
Bureaucracy and Bugs
Here is a mess. Colossal, the DNA company, and the US government are building an Endangered Species “BioVault.” Irony? The same administration wants to gut the laws meant to save those animals in the first place.
Speaking of things going wrong: Flesh-eating screwworm larvae are in the US. Confirmed by the USDA. Eradicated in the ’60s, right? Back. 🪰
The fix involves releasing even more flies. Sterilized ones. You bomb them to crash the local population. Only problem — we don’t have the factories built yet. We can’t make enough sterile flies to save ourselves.
Static in the Air
Researchers found the source of some mysterious repeating radio signals from deep space. Call it a cosmic Rosetta stone? Sure. Why not. 📡
Does any of this matter? Everything matters. Nothing changes.
