How snakes defy gravity to stand tall Limbless tree snakes can lift most of their body into the air without toppling. They manage this by focusing all their bending forces at their base.

Women use a higher-pitched voice when speaking to unfamiliar dogs When speaking to a strange dog, female owners instinctively raise their vocal pitch to signal friendly intentions. A recent study reveals how familiarity, dog size, and social context shift human speech and facial expressions.

Photo borrowed from Dreamtime. A closeup of a face of Arctictis Binturong. They are tree dwellers in SE Asia on the island of Borneo and other islands there. Eye pupil is vertical on dark copper eyes. Lovely agouti banding on coat hairs with what we called on cats a ‘ticked tabby” look.

Today I caught sight of a Binturong photo.They seem to have vertical slit pupils which surprised me. That’s usually the pupil of ambush hunters, like cats & fox. The ends of the pupil seem to be rounded tho. Is this a nocturnal tree dweller thing? #binturong #zoology #eyes #pupilshape
