Why Evolution is True is a blog written by Jerry Coyne, centered on evolution and biology but also dealing with diverse topics like politics, culture, and cats.
Reader Joe Dickinson sends us this:
I know Jerry is fond of ducklings, so here is a family of mallards (Anas platyrhynchos) caught on June 23rd and again on the 27th near the mouth of Aptos Creek, CA. The growth (and change in plumage) over just four days is quite noticeable.
Reader (and biologist) Sarah Crews had back surgery yesterday, and came home (the same day!) to find, on the bed, two of her cats in a pose she calls “ridiculousness.” The cats are Professeur Chippeur (“Chippi”), left, and Surprise, Cat! (because he always looks surprised).
This is to wish her a speedy recovery, which is almost guaranteed given that these two funny rescue cats are on hand—and seven other ferals going in and out.
