An albino nilgai is frequently being sighted now inside the JNU campus for the last several months now. Experts say the rare specimen, a female adult believed to be between 4-5 years, is likely the only such nilgai in Delhi and perhaps all of NCR too.

Replying to @TM9380
one of the most striking examples of variety in modern crocs to me is this video of a Cuban cohabited with a couple of caimans, note just how different they move compared to each other

Ok, lets have a look at this: Over the last few days a new paper in Science has led to MANY discussions in the paleo community and it appears to have breached containment into the wider world, judging by headlines and google results.

I am really quite sad about this news... I sadly also never managed to meet with Hans-Dieter in person, but from our online interactions I can absolutely confirm that he was a really nice guy.
I just heard paleontologist Dr. Hans Sues passed away suddenly! What an incredible loss. I never got to meet him in person but my online interactions were always pleasant. A giant in the field. My thoughts are with his family, friends, and colleagues.

In November 2024, environmental police in Rochedo, Brazil, stumbled on an unexpected sight: thousands of orange-and-black bumblebee catfish scaling the slippery rocks behind waterfalls on the Aquidauana River. A week later, a team of Brazilian scientists arrived to document the unprecedented event, detailing their findings. These videos provide rare insight into the lives and migrations of these little-studied catfish, the authors said. This genus of small South American fish, which inhabits the rocky bottoms of fast-flowing streams, only became known to science in 2017. Learn more: scim.ag/46tmVfA

New paper just dropped finally describing a complete specimen of Dakosaurus maximus and what a beauty it is. Some highlights, in addition to this being a long time coming, is the presence of bitemarks on the face and chondrichthyan material in the stomach doi.org/10.26879/1577
