An old “Zaïre” (DR Congo) postage stamp with two okapi in a forest. There’s a WWF logo in the lower right corner.
Taking a moment to remember the #2023MMM #AltAdvances Champion, the #HappyOkapi, who made it to the @mmmletsgo.bsky.social finals and was never defeated. #2025MMM

Grasshopper Mouse prefer insects as long as they are available, but they are coming from the central US, where, in March, there are no bugs around (Bailey & Sperry 1929). So now they crave meat https://naldc.nal.usda.gov/download/CAT86200139/PDF #2023MMM

Still crunching on its prize, the Ningaui continues its "foraging walk" (Bos 2001), sniffing for more food as it weaves in & out of clumps of vegetation. Unaware that something is stalking it from the shadows. #2023MMM

Like other marsupials, female Southern Ningaui have a pouch in which to carry their babies, which are born in November & December. Ningaui was a #16-seed that ran away from #1-seed Pygmy Hog in the first round of Tiny Terrors in 2020.#2023MMM

While Southern Ningaui only get up to 5.7cm long, they are known for going after prey that is double their size, attacking in a "lunge-bite-retreat" style (Bos 2001) https://www.publish.csiro.au/AM/AM01059 #2023MMM

Deciding not to try anything new, the python slithers down the trunk of the tree, heading towards the baby Dik Dik. Though small, this delectable morsel would keep her satiated for quite a while #2023MMM

Above all of their heads, a Central African Rock Python glides down a branch, flickering tongue sensing several potential mammalian targets. The python pauses & lifts her head to evaluate the distant but familiar scent of the Dik Dik vs a closer but unfamiliar smell. #2023MMM

The nocturnal Colo Colo is rudely awakened by sunlight pouring onto the acacia tree she's in. She wraps her engorged but still prehensile tail around a branch & wonders if her soon-to-be-weaned offspring are keeping warm back in their nest (Muñoz-Pedreros et al 2005) #2023MMM
