🐝 🤖 Researchers from our school are developing robotic beehive frames that help locate honey stores inside of beehives over time, without relying on cameras. The aim is to develop new observation tools to study honeybee behavior that better fit the bees’ natural way to occupy space compared to current methods.

🚨 Calling all researchers in animal behavior & cognition!
The ManyDogs Project is launching its next big collaborative study: ManyDogs 2 — and we want YOU to join us!
🔍🐕‍🦺What do we want know? We're investigating overimitation in dogs: Do dogs copy irrelevant actions just because their favorite human does them?
If you're ready to collaborate globally, contribute to reproducible science, and have fun doing it, email us at manydogsproject2@gmail.com.

Killer whales bringing us fish is basically the ocean equivalent of "I made you a mixtape." Scientists documented 34 cases of orcas gifting seafood to humans across four continents - and the whales lingered expectantly when we declined their offerings.

Apparently even apex predators experience gift-giving anxiety! 🐋

science.slashdot.orgWhy Do Killer Whales Keep Handing Us Fish? Scientists Unpack the Mystery - Slashdot Science Daily reports: Wild orcas across four continents have repeatedly floated fish and other prey to astonished swimmers and boaters, hinting that the ocean's top predator likes to make friends. Researchers cataloged 34 such gifts over 20 years, noting the whales often lingered expectantly ...

TECC :archlinux:

A #leopard stands next to a young #gazelle or deer, not hunting, not attacking. When #hyenas approach, it does the unthinkable: grabs the fawn by the neck and climbs a tree, protecting it.

This isn’t fiction. Rare moments like this have been observed in the wild. Sometimes, big cats show what looks like compassion, or confusion. A lost maternal instinct? Curiosity? Or something deeper?

#Nature isn’t always predictable. Predators don’t always kill. Even in the wild, the lines between #instinct, #emotion, and choice can blur in ways we still don’t fully understand.

A reminder: the animal world is full of mystery, and not everything wild is cruel.

New review: Uncovering Dinosaur Behavior is a concise, well-structured, and beautifully illustrated book that transcends being "merely" good popular science by also addressing professional palaeontologists.

Hello, #FediVerse! I am new here and I am looking for my people so that I can follow them and maybe even have conversations. Are you my people?

I’m migrating from Instagram, where I did more lurking than posting. It’s taking me some time to find my way around over here.

I’m particularly interested in finding #Horse people, and people who are into #ClickerTraining, #PositiveReinforcement, and #AnimalBehavior. I worked in #AnimalRescue for five years, but man is that a hard, draining career. I am currently recovering from pretty severe burnout. But I still love my local #AnimalShelter.

All of my horses are #Adopted because hey, I was in a position to provide them a home when they needed it. No shame if that’s not how you got your horse(s) - I just find that if I think too hard about looking for another herd member, the universe provides. So I try not to think that too hard, because the ones I have now are plenty! :P

My #horses are varied in size from a tall #Percheron to a chonky little #Haflinger, and all in their mid-twenties. They live with me at a rural #HousingCooperative and kindly allow themselves to be petted and played with by local community members in an outreach program that I started this winter. It’s still a pretty small endeavor. We’ll see where it goes. I’ll probably post about that sometimes.

I hope this reaches you, #HorseLovers and #ClickerTrainers! Also, anyone else who wants to say hi! There is a long list of other topics I may post about in my bio, so I won’t list everything in this already rather long post. Thanks for reading if you made it this far.

Abner the Haflinger horse strides toward the camera across a snowy meadow. He's wearing a stylish purple halter and blue lead rope. The rope is just draped over his back because he's a very good boy and comes back when I let him out to go exploring. There are trees in the background and a grey sky above.
