#Chimpanzees in open savannahs still spend plenty of time in trees—and often hang below branches to forage. New research suggests early humans may have done the same, reshaping how we think about walking upright. 🔗 doi.org/10.3389/fevo.2… 📸 Rhianna C. Drummond-Clarke/GMERC

After nearly 20 years unspotted, the world’s smallest #snake—the Barbados #threadsnake—has been rediscovered in Barbados. Only ~10 cm long, blind, and burrowing, this tiny wonder survived despite its elusiveness. 🐍🌿 phys.org/news/2025-07-w…

#Clownfish, made famous by Finding Nemo, are shrinking during marine heatwaves—losing millimeters in weeks to cope with heat stress. It’s not evolution, it’s survival. 🐠🌡️
