Took the animals for a walk in @nuigalway yesterday, met lots of lovely people! Great footage guys! x.com/nuigalway/status/99894…
The Reptiles from @EcoExplorersNUI are certainly enjoying the beautiful weather on campus today. Filmed using some helpful tips from @mojofestival, looking forward to MojoFest 2018 here at NUI Galway, 29th-31st May.

Beetles are the most successful animals on the planet, approximately 25% of animals are beetles!
They spend most of their life as a larva, typically up to 3 years then they develop into an adult which usually only lives for around 3 months!

Carpet pythons have heat pits on their lips (you can see a row of them on the bottom jaw quite clearly here) which they use to detect warm-bodied prey but also to find good spots to thermoregulate, finding cool spots when it's too warm and warmer spots when they need to heat up

Love babysitting @John_Kavanagh 's spider BEAST. As big as a hand in body alone. A creature from prehistory.... Stunning Goliath Birdeater.
