Tardigrades (water bears) are also called “moss piglets” by some. Cool. I guess I can see that 🤔
Also, my son just told me that they are in the clade “panarthropoda, which includes arthropods, tardigrades, and velvet worms,”and their little mouths are called “stylets.”
I learn something new every day. 🎉
After just 5 weeks at our shelter, Paule was allowed to move to his new home. Nobody at the shelter where he had been before was interested in him because of his past. With us, he proved to be a completely unproblematic dog. So long, Paule! I really enjoyed our walks. You are a great dog!

Animal of the day (164)
Although declared extinct in the wild in 2019, not all hope is lost for the Spix's Macaw. This gorgeous bird once inhabited the drainage basin of the São Francisco River, in Brazil. It had a very restricted natural habitat due to its dependence on a particular tree species. The 2011 animated movie Rio actually portrayed the story of the supposed last pair of Spix's macaws. Thankfully, the species is now maintained through captive breeding programs, and efforts are being made to restore its natural habitat and reintroduce it to the wild. Mating for life, a pair typically also enjoys sharing food and mutual grooming.

Indigenous leaders want to protect whales by granting them legal personhood
"What we're trying to achieve here is to provide whales with certain rights," Takoko told Morning Edition. "Those rights include the right to freedom of movement, natural behavior, development, cultural expression – which includes language – to a healthy environment, healthy oceans, and indeed the restoration of their populations."
