💁🏻‍♀️ TIL: 🦋📚 Designer Nicholas Rougeux has digitally restored over 1,300 color plates from the #19thcentury "Naturalist’s #Library," making them free to browse online. Originally published as affordable #Victorian-era volumes on global #flora and #fauna, the collection brought naturalist knowledge to a wide public. Rougeux used modern #restoration techniques and #AI tools to rebuild the archive for today’s audiences. 👉 https://www.openculture.com/2026/07/explore-1300-beautiful-wildlife-illustrations-from-the-19th-century.html #nature #vintage #illustration #wildlife #art #science #naturalhistory #history #arthistory #education #books #print #animals

A new study has found #PetCats were #responsible for fewer than 1% of #NativeAnimals taken to #NSW #wildlife carers over an 11-year period. The study, done by #UniversityOfQueensland (UQ) researchers in collaboration with the #AustralianPetWelfareFoundation, has sparked renewed debate about the risk the popular pets pose to threatened wildlife. It analysed NSW wildlife rescue and rehabilitation data on 158 threatened and endangered native species between 2013 and 2024. There were 52,475 threatened animals taken to wildlife carers during that period, with 311 incidents attributed to cat attacks. That amounts to 0.6 per cent of cases. Lead researcher and wildlife ecologist, Kate Dutton-Regester from the UQ #SchoolOfVeterinaryScience, said it was important to make a distinction between domestic and feral animals. #auspol #fauna #cats https://www.abc.net.au/news/2026-07-16/pet-cats-impact-on-threatened-wildlife-uq-study/106912594

Pat's Entourage at the Philadelphia Zoo in 1977. As a grumpy old man, I consider zoos to be concentration camps for animals, and think they should be phased out of existence. #zoos #peta #concentrationcampsforanimals #animalcruelty #animalrights #animalsrights #equalityforanimals #ourplanet #caringforourplanet #fauna #animals #animal #zoo #philadelphia #philadelphiazoo #hersheyzoo #washingtonzoo #cage #caged #encaged #cagedanimals #75dairydine #Advocacy #liberation #protection #crueltyfree

:boost_requested: Please help us save science and research on literally everything in the United States. No, I am not overstating this. TLDR: Grants can be cancelled for any reason at any time at the whims of essentially one person appointed by the federal govt without much or any oversight. This rule will likely cancel about HALF the clinical trials currently in progress, for example. And that's just the tip. Any and all federal funding for any and everything is affected by this rule. ⚠️ TAKE ACTION! 20 days left to comment, can do it through stand up for science here https://fight2win.standupforscience.net/campaign/163675 or direct via federal sites. Either works. The page I linked has some overview to help you write in your dissent. Comments need to be unique to be counted, so please write your own. ⚠️ Also please call / write your congress folk. You can use the same comment you wrote for above.

Zorilla paskowana - jeszcze bardziej śmierdząca od skunksa. Zorille są zwierzętami afrykańskimi. Zamieszkują otwarte tereny trawiaste, jak sawanny, stepy, półpustynie, a nawet pustynie. Są spokrewnione z łasicami i tchórzami i to z nimi tworzą jedną rodzinę, a nie ze skunksami. Najbliższymi krewnymi tych zwierząt są żyjące w Europie perewiaski, spotykane na stepach chociażby Ukrainy czy państw bałkańskich. Jedynymi zwierzętami, którym zdarza się polować na zorille są hieny i to nie wszystkie, bo hieny brunatne, względnie niektóre ptaki drapieżne. #ZorillaPaskowana #przyroda #fauna #ciekawostki https://zielona.interia.pl/wiadomosci/swiat/news-nawet-lwy-sie-jej-boja-smrod-wiekszy-niz-u-skunksa,nId,22615982
