📸 1/4: A marmot eating grass in So'gya Qinghai, China 📸 2/4: Torvi, the lynx 📸 3/4: A blue sheep, which is well-adapted for the steep rocky terrain in India's Himalayas 📸 4/4: A snow leopard at a regular scent-marking site within its range in the Himalayas
A newly discovered snake-tail mantis is turning heads in Sardinia with a courtship dance that mimics the coils and flicks of a snake—an artful move that researchers theorize is used by males to avoid becoming a post-mating snack. This unusual display not only helped scientists recognize the new species but also hints at how much of mantis behavior remains unseen.

It’s the first detailed report of adoption among orangutans—whose unique lifestyle might make it especially hard for an orphaned juvenile to survive: on.natgeo.com/ANIYTC010325
Cloven hooves and horns, they must be Bovids! Members of the Bovidae family can be found worldwide, although some domesticated species lack their bony protrusions. 🦬
