The brown howler monkey can hit ~140 dB, making it one of the loudest land animals on Earth. Louder than motorcycles, ambulance sirens, and most rock concerts. After nearly 200 years of silence, those howls are returning to Rio's Tijuca National Park.

Blue is the world's favorite color. It's also one of nature's rarest. Evolution had to invent chemistry tricks, diet hacks, and microscopic light-bending just to create it. Now we're working to bring the bluebuck, and a little more blue, back to Africa. 😎

The perfect jump really relies on four key phases:
Approach: See log. Activate brain.
Takeoff: Throw entire wolf at log.
Flight: Briefly become the greatest athlete alive.
Landing: Experience a profound sense of personal glory.

Between yellow fever, failed tracking equipment, & challenging socialization, the brown howler monkey has had a tough time.
So we're working with @projeto_refauna to introduce some new genetic diversity into the population at Tijuca National Park. Give them a follow.

Very nice video about the Ultima games by @RichardGarriott - it's a tale of a lot of mindblowing stuff and a good look into what the Ultima-series broke ground on.

Found a digital copy of “Family Computing” magazine, July 1985, with “An Interview with Lord British”, which reveals how he got his nickname, that he designs on an Apple computer, and that he is about to release “Autoduel”.

The oldest DNA we’ve found is around 1.5 million years old. Most of the DNA we work with is hundreds of thousands of years old. Dinosaurs disappeared around 65M years ago. So yeah, cloning one is extremely unlikely at this point. But we’re not saying never. Science stays weird🤘
