Black-necked Stork, Ephippiorhynchus asiaticus. This amazing bird landed down on the banks of Jardine lagoon in Far north Queensland as I was sitting there watching a Whistling Kite nest. The amazing colours on its head and neck shimmered in the sunlight, as it stalked about in the shallow waters, looking for food. Felt so lucky to be able to experience such a sight. #photography #animals #nature #wildlife #australia #queensland #birds #birding #storks

🕷 NEW: On an Australian #research expedition, marine biologist Jérôme Mallefet tested thousands of deep-sea specimens for light production in a darkroom aboard a research vessel.
Two giant sea #spider species, Colossendeis tasmanica and C. minor, glowed along the undersides of their legs when chemically stimulated. The researchers suspect the trait may be borrowed from #anemones the spiders eat, or used to find #prey.

🐕 NEW: When a #dog’s back leg thumps as you scratch its flank, the movement comes from the pruritic scratch #reflex, a reflex arc where sensory #nerves send a signal straight to the #spinalcord without waiting on the #brain.
The wiring likely evolved as pest control against #fleas, #ticks, and burrs. Veterinarian Nancy Thomas explains that the kick signals irritation rather than pleasure.

🐕 NEW: New genetic #research shows #Chihuahuas carry a small amount of #coyote ancestry, possibly from crossbreeding many generations ago.
The #study validated a new #ancestry method on American #dog breeds, including the #xoloitzcuintli. Chihuahuas also retain roughly 4% pre-contact dog ancestry. Coyote #genes didn't make them small – a mutation in the IGF1 gene explains most small breeds.
