I can't always recommend the blog What's in John's Freezer because I know some people are squeamish about necropsy (an autopsy on an animal) photos but this post is just x-rays. Not gross, instead they are FANTASTIC images of an ostrich (and who doesn't love Ostriches? If you raised your hand go sit in a corner till you've changed your mind. Ostriches are COOL).

Elephants show empathy. Great work by Josh Plotnik and Frans de Waal. I worked with Josh on his elephant research in Thailand, they are absolutely amazing animals when you get to know them!

We have had five Mass Extinction events in Earth's history - events where at least 70% of all species on Earth go extinct in a relatively short time period. We know that a meteor caused the extinction that killed off the non-avian dinosaurs but we don't know what caused the others.
New evidence has come out about the biggest extinction event in our history - where over 90% of all species went extinct. It happened fast, in less than 100,000 years, and we still aren't sure what caused it, but we're getting closer.

Here's an animal I've never heard of before. (This is not a common occurrence.) Say hello to the Sea Sapphire.

WOW. First every photos of a snow leopard kill (not graphic). One thing that amazes me is how hard it is to see the snow leopard against the rocks. I guess their coloration is good camouflage even without snow.
