This disabled parrot has become king by learning to ‘joust’ Despite missing his entire upper beak, Bruce the kea is winning at life

No beak? No problem. Despite his disability, Bruce the parrot beats all of his rivals in combat. He's done it by inventing a fighting style reminiscent of jousting or fencing. “He doesn’t have to open his bill. He’s just got this dagger.” Really fun story by @phiejacobs.bsky.social for @science.org

In Darwin's footsteps Crick scientists are working with ZSL to investigate how the placenta has evolved with incredible variation across mammalian species.

“The zoo fills a huge gap for us...creating a rare opportunity to study life at its most extraordinary"

Read how @crick.ac.uk evolutionary biologist Margarida Cardoso Moreira is working with our experts at ZSL to investigate how the placenta has evolved across species 🧬
