It’s either one of the cutest or most annoying things your dog does—depending on how far away you’re standing: the vigorous full-body shake that comes after a dip in a lake or a pool, one that flings off seemingly every last drop of water. It turns out that these “wet-dog shakes” aren’t just an amusing quirk, researchers report; they’re a behavior hardwired in mammals—from bears to mice—all the way from the skin to the brainstem.

This elephant learned to use a hose as a shower. Then her rival sought revenge. The behaviors reveal sophisticated tool use—and possible “pranking”—among pachyderms. Learn more: bit.ly/3Ar6pzH @ScienceVisuals

Scientists studying the deep sea have built an underwater robot that can gently scoop up delicate fish, squid, and even jellyfish, with a folding container inspired by the Japanese art of origami. Learn more on #OrigamiDay. ➡️ bit.ly/3CaBwQe @NewsfromScience
