“Ice Cold: An Exhibition of Hip-Hop Jewelry” American Museum of Natural History preview was pretty icy. I realize how much work it can be to get all these pieces (and their artists) together for something special like this. Congrats Vikki Tobak ! 💎💫

Meet the Indo-Pacific violet blanket octopus! Females grow up to 6 ft (2 m) long—and are more than 10,000x larger than males. They also sport massive “blankets,” or webs of skin connecting their dorsal arms, that they can detach to distract predators.

Our star, the Sun, is just one of hundreds of billions of stars swirling within the enormous Milky Way Galaxy. Even if you could travel at the speed of light—186,000 mi (300,000 km) per second—it would take ~25,000 years to reach the middle of the Milky Way.

It’s Trilobite Tuesday! Every trilobite fossil tells a story about life in the Paleozoic seas ~500 million years ago. This specimen—a rare 1.5-in- (3.8-cm-) long Achatella carleyi from Kentucky's Ordovician Fairview Formation—is preserved amid a field of crinoid stems.

Meet the bone crushing Bearded Vulture! This bird drops bones from the sky to reach the marrow inside & to break its food into bite-sized pieces. Bones comprise an impressive 85% of its diet & its gastric fluids are so strong that it can digest bone in about 24 hours!

Hippity hoppity, have you ever seen the lesser Egyptian jerboa? 🤔 Found in parts of Asia & Africa, this tiny desert-dweller hops like a kangaroo across the sand, traveling long distances by night. It can journey ~6.2 mi (10 km) away from home in search of food.

Watch an exclusive clip from #PorcelainWar , one of our Sundance favorites making its New York premiere this Saturday at the 2024 Margaret Mead Film Festival at American Museum of Natural History.

Is that a giant rabbit? 👀 Nope, it’s the Patagonian mara! Weighing ~35 lbs (15.9 kg), this long-legged rodent can outrun an Olympic sprinter—reaching speeds of ~45 mi (72 km) per hour! It inhabits open grasslands where it spends time basking in the Sun and foraging for food.

Do you ever feel like a plastic bag drifting through the sea? You might relate to the glass octopus. Inhabiting depths of around 3,000 ft (914 m) where sunlight doesn’t penetrate, scientists think its transparent skin protects it from predators & hides it from prey.

Happy Caturday! Meet the fishing cat. Found in parts of Southeast Asia, this critter prefers to inhabit areas near bodies of water, like mangroves, marshes, & swamps. It's a specialized fish-hunter, sometimes dunking its head below the surface to catch food in its mouth.
