Today's Wow did I just see that?

She didn’t think was near as funny as he did…

 

Hught, I bet you could paddle a boat with a plow line.

They are brilliant aren't they. When me and the wife first married she worked in a pet store that was next to an old pinball arcade. We inherited an African Grey and a Macaw that no one would buy. We put them both in the living room and at night you would think there was pinball machines in the living room.

We currently have a 20 year old Quaker Parrot that initially stayed in our bed room until he nailed my wife's snoring, and this really did it, imitated her zipping up her jeans. He now lives in the living room and when he sees us working on our computers he asks "Whatch you doing?"

 

Ouch!

Boa probably wishes it hadn't constricted that porcupine
According to the guy who shot this with a Brazilian potato-cam, the boa constrictor attacked a porcupine, which managed to escape after leaving a few hundred spines in its attacker. (more…)

Science of the Day: Hubble Spotted Something Massive Coming Out of Uranus



Yeah, the article title is like a 5th grader’s dream joke come true… see also “gas from Uranus” or “Uranus lit its own fart.” I bet the article writers had a field day with this story. Bottom line though is that the Hubble Space Telescope actually has caught something on Uranus for the first time – massive auroras resulting from a sudden, powerful blast of solar wind. Streams of charged particles enter the powerful magnetic fields of the planet, and release spectacular bursts of light. We’ve been able to study in quite a bit of detail auroras on Jupiter and Saturn, but this is apparently the clearest shot we’ve ever caught of the spectacle on Uranus. Astronomers tracking interplanetary shocks caused by two powerful bursts of solar wind from the sun ended up catching the most intense auroras ever seen there. And watching the phenomenon over time, they were able to gain the first ever evidence that auroras actually rotate with the planet, rather than sticking to the point the charged particles entered the atmosphere.

 

Meanwhile, in Mayberry…

 

Giving a lecture Sunday on Earth Day, but I think this says it all . . .

I live in the country and am a little concerned about how hard it was for me to find it.

Can you spot the snake in this photo?
Tuesday, April 25, 2017
Florida snake biologist Helen aka @SssnakeySci shares this photo she received, which features a Copperhead snake lurking around in the woods. Can you see it?
Received this from a fellow HERper this morning. No caption needed, the task was implied: "can you spot the snake?"
@SssnakeySci

For the ones who can't, Helen was kind enough to leave a hint.

 

Yes but I had to cheat and make the photo bigger. I had also seen it a while back. Pretty cool.COPPER HEAD?

 

Yep!
