The discovery of giant early Pleistocene Orcinus remains in the North Sea- 3 out of 4 analyzed individuals estimated at over 7 m!- would suggest they were bigger on average than modern orca. Just how big did an exceptionally huge male of this early species or subspecies get?

โ€˜Parceling outโ€™ tropical rainforest in 2026. Instead of companies paying to protect it theyโ€™re purchasing it to destroy it for profit. ๐Ÿ˜ค Birds of Paradise, Tree Kangaroos and thousands more species just disappearing for quick cash. Sickening.
tahun 2025, aktivis lingkungan pernah ngomong kalo lahan di papua udah dipetak dan dibagi-bagi izinnya, namun deforestasi belum keliatan. tahun 2026, semuanya beneran terbukti, lahan di papua udah dibakar abis-abisan. berdasarkan data satelit VIIRS dari NASA FIRMS, hotspot tercatat hingga 235.084 di merauke, boven digoel, mappi, dan asmat. hutan dan lahan dirusak semua sama pemerintah, giliran untungnya cuma buat individu/korporasi tertentu. sementara rakyat yang seluruh hidupnya menopang pada hutan, dapet sengsaranya aja. pemerintah emang juara satu kalo soal jahat.

I took these two pictures over two years apart. (It's the same American Oystercatcher, seen in the same general area - Aug '24 and Nov '26) #birds
