The jumping guabine is considered pretty common in its home of Trinidad, but it's secretly been pulling off one of nature's greatest expeditions using its tail to breathe. Check out the amazing sequence from #TheSecretLivesOfAnimals @IFLScience @AppleTV https://t.co/OI1FbBfxw1

When you see one chasing a human, the closest living relative of T. rex does kind of make sense #Paleontology @IFLScience https://t.co/1TiN3Jc1oT

Ever heard of the squirting cucumber? It's high time you got uncomfortably familiar with the mechanism that allows it to spew seeds 10m in a way that might be unique in the plant kingdom @IFLScience https://t.co/7IueSFKBMf

Do #chimpanzees have culture? Yes, and what's more it appears to be cumulative and can spread across generations. Fascinating work from @cassandraguna et al that could reveal how far back the evolutionary history of cumulative culture goes @IFLScience https://t.co/M938VhjFmh

If you loved #JurassicPark III then you'll love this new research trying to work out what #dinosaurs sounded like with Parasaurolophus pipes, aka, the linophone @IFLScience https://t.co/Xa71lZKGVx

In a discovery that's being described “like winning a million-dollar jackpot," scientists have retrieved 145-year-old seeds from a shipwreck in Michigan, and now they're going to make it into whiskey @IFLScience https://t.co/htOOMcCrof

Some geese are poisonous, that's just a fact you have to roll with & we dive into more weird #science with @JackBaddams and Roddy Shaw, incredible hosts of @HowManyGeesePod - catch the full episode of #WeHaveQuestions now @IFLScience https://t.co/Wl7n3f8oVl

There’s a whole world out there that glows, we just don’t have the eyes to see it. #Biofluorescence is being reported in more and more species with a new preprint adding another 15, and you can help find more with 1 piece of kit @IFLScience https://t.co/KiBQYegWTw

Something big has been lurking in the Solomon Islands, sitting unseen 12m below the surface for 300 years. This is a lovely tale of hope, and really, really big coral. @IFLScience https://t.co/v375QY8rZl

A really cool discovery that the skull of a tiny dino-era “opposite bird,” an extinct group that diverged from modern birds 130 million years ago, shows perfect midway brain evolution between bird-like dinosaurs & the clever crows we see today @IFLScience https://t.co/IGe9rivGnH

You ever seen a brittle star swimming 1000m up off the seafloor and up in the midwater? Well, you still haven't, cus this one came flying off the ROV on the way up. That's a long float back down, little buddy. Good luck! @SchmidtOcean dive 751 #ChileMargin2024 https://t.co/CkZaqwF1ma

Some big news from the deep sea yesterday as @MBARI_News finally unmasked the "mystery mollusk" that's been perplexing scientists for 20 years, revealing a sea slug "unlike all other nudibranchs" @iflscience https://t.co/rlg6n5f7R1
