The unken reflex is a posture that toxic amphibians will take to show off their bright colors. It’s their way of saying “stay back! I’m dangerous!”

I once almost got hit by a car at night because I was trying to follow a juvenile opossum.

Naturalists have got to be one of the groups of people most susceptible to being tricked by the fae.

An unidentifiable bird call

A butterfly that's slightly off-color

An opossum with its head stuck in a yogurt tub

A really big woodpecker
