Ooh, I #FoundThatLizard! Lookit his cute little face!
Something I always wondered as a kid was how is this possible. Species like the green anole are resilient despite habitat loss and the introduction of competition. Can you #FindThatLizard? Let me know with #FoundThatLizard. 📸: @[email protected]

This is incredible. The detail is just UNREAL.

Our article about debris-throwing by wild octopuses is now out, in PLOS ONE.
https://journals.plos.org/plosone/article?id=10.1371/journal.pone.0276482
Close to the http://bioRxiv.org preprint from 2021, though shorter. This version also includes, as SI, videos that show the behavior. One is the basis for this GIF. 1/

In the line of fire: Debris throwing by wild octopuses
Wild Octopus tetricus frequently propel shells, silt, and algae through the water by releasing these materials from their arms while creating a forceful jet from the siphon held under the arm web. These "throws" occur in several contexts at a site in Jervis Bay, Australia, including in interactions with other octopuses. Material thrown in interactive contexts frequently hits other octopuses. Some throws appear to be targeted on other individuals, as suggested by several kinds of evidence: Throws in interactive contexts were more vigorous than others, and more often used silt, rather than shells or algae. High vigor throws were more often accompanied by uniform or dark body patterns than other throws. Some throws were directed differently from beneath the arms and such throws were more likely to hit other octopuses. Throwing at other individuals in the same population, as apparently seen in these octopuses, is a rare form of nonhuman projectile use, previously seen only in some social mammals.
This is just lickably gorgeous.
My finished shot from this morning's total lunar eclipse. This image was captured by using two telescopes, one to capture intricate detail on the lunar surface, and one to capture the rich tones cast by Earth's shadow across the disc. Go ahead, zoom in on it!

As a note to my future self, in this blog post, I use #Rstats to make 3D animations of the adult mouse brain with data from the Allen Brain Atlas @[email protected]
