An amateur wildlife photographer off the coast of Seattle captured the dramatic moment when a seal narrowly escaped a pod of killer whales by hitching a ride on her boat.

Certain species of bats can glow under UV light. Scientists donโ€™t know why | CNN Six species of North American bats glow under ultraviolet lighting, according to a new study. Researchers donโ€™t know why certain mammals exhibit this odd trait.

Glowing bats may sound like Halloween decor, but researchers in Georgia have discovered certain species of North American bats that are capable of the unusual trick.

Two humorous social media posts about cats believing their owners can control nature, like rain and sunlight.

Transcribed Text:

Feline_Tales

My cats have this meow that means โ€œplease come with me to fix thisโ€ after which theyโ€™ll lead me to the problem in question, usually a empty (or โ€˜emptyโ€™) food bowl or a closed door they want open. They look at the โ€˜problemโ€™, they look back at me, clear message.

What fascinates me is how this illustrates what they percieve as being in the realm of my โ€˜power.โ€™ I control the food, I control the door, sure, but my cats love to sit on the balcony in the sun, and it has happened plenty of times that on a rainy day they come get me, go to the balcony and show me... the rain. โ€œPlease fix thisโ€ they say. โ€œPlease get rid of the wetโ€

โ€œSilly kitty,โ€ I say, โ€œI canโ€™t control the rain.โ€ I then walk into the shower and turn on the rain.

purrfect_logic

I hope this is a universal cat owner experience. Every single night he begs me to turn the sun back on so he can watch birds on the balcony. I tell him no, I cannot do that.

But I can turn lights on and off in the house and heโ€™s fairly certain Iโ€™m just not applying myself properly here.

The mist-shrouded morning at Point Reyes National Seashore, hiking with @sallyfisherprice.bsky.social, felt not just haunted or ethereal, but otherworldly. The zenith of that sensation came when a huge bull elk appeared out of the landscape as if a ghost from another land entirely.

Exploring Gender and Trans Identity in the Worlds of C.J. Cherryh - Reactor The Chanur series poses key questions about gender roles, expression, and identity.

In the '80s and '90s, CJ Cherryh questioned and critiqued our assumptions about how gender is expressed and understood, creating science fiction narratives that reflect trans identity and experience. It's time for a retrospective.
