The answer from yesterday. When the ambient hit 10.2c, out came Mushu for a bask! I’ve included info at the end to explain this. The thermal gradient of the surface is important for ectotherms,from 11c in the shade to 31c in full sun, enabling thermal energy exchange #WildOz 🐍☀️

⭐ Happy #WorldNumbatDay! Numbats (Myrmecobius fasciatus) feed on termites. 🐜 With a sticky tongue that can grow up to 11cm, they don't drink water 💧 as they get all nutrients from the >20,000 termites that they consume daily! 🤯 💻 | spr.ly/6014ucuBg 📸 | L. Burnett

Stunner. The high variability in morph is but another reason why this genus of snakes is my favourite. – at Canberra, Australian Capital Territory

Would you still love me if I was a worm? ❤️ We can't speak for everybody, but we ❤️ the speckled flatworm (Anisorhynchodemus guttatus). These worms feed on other invertebrates using sticky mucus to trap their prey. 🍽 📸 | TimL via @NatureMapr 💻 | spr.ly/6011uDW6P
