Folks on the Science Feed 🧪 probably remember #UnScienceAnAnimal. Anyone got an oldie to share? Or a new one ready to be deployed on #DarwinDay?
two english bulldogs wearing blue drake university sweaters. the photo of them is labeled with red text and arrows pointing to their various body parts that say things like noise flap, optimal skritching zone, popcorn finder, fang for striking fear into the hearts of opponents, and drake relays mobilization units.
Happy #DarwinDay 2026! In the spirit of evolution, natural selection, and artificial selection, I brought back an old meme from the late teens called #UnScienceAnAnimal. Featured today are Griff III (Gus) on the left and Griff II (George) on the right.
An unscientifically but humorously labelled pallas cat
An unscientifically-labeled Canada lynx
A river otter, here called a “stubby clawed water floof,” labeled unscientifically
Six years ago today, folks were finding solace on that other site in #UnscienceAnAnimal. We needed it then and we need it now. Here are some choice ones I saved. Please add more.
Any chance we could rejuvenate #unscienceananimal on here? I miss that so much
I loved doing Unscience an Animal infographics. I loved making them. These two are my potential favorites I made, largely because they pair together. Short-eared #Owl and Long-eared #Owl. #UnscienceAnAnimal
I was just reminded of my #UnscienceAnAnimal post from a LOOOONG time ago.
So here's my unscienced #Eosinopteryx!

#UnScienceAnAnimal is my the best science twitter hashtag game in a long time. I wrote about it for @AmSciMag @SigmaXiSociety , featuring interviews with @orcoastaquarium @sharkespearean and a photo by @GeorgeProbst ! #SciComm...
Hopefully it's not too late for #UnscienceAnAnimal, but in the lead up to #NSWBeachBirds Photo Caption Competition we thought we had to share our #BeachNestingBirds expertise!

Late to the game, but here's my very important very scientific contribution to #UnscienceAnAnimal
I mean, when there's a meme trend for nature it'd be a waste to ignore it. #UnscienceAnAnimal #Beaver #Rewilding

I like how zoos aquaria museums and gardens are getting on #UnScienceAnAnimal. Cmon @FieldMuseum and @MortonArboretum @botanic @dbgphx @NTBG
How could I resist being a cheeky on this amazing hashtag? #UnscienceAnAnimal #UnscienceAnAlga
Important gull facts! #UnscienceAnAnimal #ILoveGulls
Oh! I love #UnscienceAnAnimal!
Here’s my take!
Apparently a lot of naturalists are snowed in today- follow #UnScienceAnAnimal
#SciComm biology twitter friends, who started #UnscienceAnAnimal?

Been enjoying #UnScienceAnAnimal. But I’m not sure plants offer the same rich tapestry. #iamabotanist
