After the 1986 explosion at Chernobyl’s Reactor Four, many presumed the land would be biologically dead for generations. ā€œThe pine forests closest to the plant absorbed such intense radiation that their needles turned an orange-red and died, creating what became known as the Red Forest,ā€ author Katie Stacey writes. Today, some truly weird wildlife are getting by, if not thriving. Read more from @sciencefocus:

I joined #mastodon on New Year’s Day, with no idea what to expect

I found somewhere totally different to other social media. No ads, no algorithm, and a massive number of really nice people. Thank you all for making me feel welcome and comfortable in this unique place you call the #fediverse

But the best part is how much you all like cats (because me too)

Here’s Molly, sitting between my knees and staring at me until I give her treats

Sperm whales are among the most social animals on the planet. And until recently, just four births were recorded over a 60-year period. Then in July 2023, scientists who were conducting field work in the Caribbean Sea dropped what they were doing and recorded two sperm whale family groups come together to assist with the birth of a newborn calf. @ScienceAlert has more:

This is not my cat

I often see him sitting on some bins (that's British for dumpsters) as I cycle home

He's usually busy doing important cat things (sitting and staring), but occasionally I'm allowed to approach and say hello

Not for too long though. He's got to get back to cat business. That sitting and staring's not going to do itself

This is Molly - a wild animal that lives in my house and sleeps on my bed

She thinks I’m a master hunter, because I leave home and come back with all kinds of wonderful things to eat

I’m not, of course. Humans are hunter-gatherers, and I’m leaning heavily into the gatherer side of things - by going to the shop and gathering cat food

She repays my successful gathering by being fluffy & adorable

So I got a good deal
