🐦 If your mental image of a pigeon is a gray bird fighting for half a hot dog, you need to see this. Some pigeons look like royalty. One is the dodo’s closest living relative. Nature went way harder on pigeons than most people realize. (1/10)

🐘 The world’s strongest nose can lift 770 lbs yet still pick up a tortilla chip. An elephant’s trunk is a muscular hydrostat, made of muscle and water. Guided by a special nerve, it helps them eat, drink, smell, trumpet, and touch with delicate precision. Now you nose.

🐾 A ranch dog once brought home a dead animal. It helped save a species. At one point, just 18 black-footed ferrets remained. Today, thousands exist. And with support from the Colossal Species Reintroduction Fund, TESF is releasing more into the wild this year. (1/10)
