My current job as a biologist is to follow a geriatric bat around and record when it poops. He fell asleep while chewing food. My heart 😭❤️

In an attempt to become a better ecologist I learned about figs today and honestly, they are mind-boggling... (1/x) First of all they aren't so much fruit as a collection of flowers growing inside a fleshy bulb. (2/x)

Plastic always finds a way.

We removed this plastic ring from around the skink's neck in the middle of a forest in Madagascar, 1h walking distance to the nearest human settlement.

I don't think most people realise the extent of #PlasticPollution across the globe. Over the past years I've been to a handful of places without any system of garbage disposal. There you literally 'take the trash outside'.

This is a common sight in Mutsamudu, #Comoros. All of it is plastic, whether single-use bags or microwave parts.
