Happy Easter Monday! Just a reminder to squeeze peeps before biting into them to check that they have been fully marshmallified, otherwise they can be a bit crunchy.

Disappointed to see the Broadley’s flat lizard go out in the first round of #2024MMM , transported not only across the continent, but up into an arboreal environment. Drop that gaudy monkey off at the Augrabies falls and we’d see what’s up!

7 years of #overtTCN digitization efforts has produced > 25K datasets from >13K vertebrate specimens. It's been an incredible experience with amazing collaborators. While the project is oVer(t), it's just the beginning of an amazing shift in accessibility of musuem collections.

Delighted to receive my @BizarreBeasts spiny mouse pins. I really love the video they made that talked about the tail osteoderms in these rodents, and am tickled that the armored, Eocene hedgehog thing, Pholidocercus, gets a shout out too!

It's officially #spookyseason 😱 A toad & salamander were the last meal for an eastern hognose snake in this CT image from the #NSFfunded project oVert, which is scanning 20,000 vertebrate specimens from the @FloridaMuseum. 📷: Edward Stanley/David Blackburn/ Florida Museum
Graphic image of an Xray of a snake. Its skeleton is shown with a frog skeleton mostly inside the snake and the legs are sticking out of its mouth. Further down the snake's body is another skeleton with a head and long vertebra trailing after it.
