@TetZoo Some cichlids are very trainable and can recognize their keeper/feeder. I’ve even trained a few African clawed frogs to come sit in my hand before I feed them. Just like humans some individuals are much more amenable to training and interaction than others.
#AnimalFigureOfTheDay is allosauroid # 25, another Acrocanthosaurus... this time the 2001 @SafariLtd Carnegie Collection one. It's pretty good, but made before good info on the look of Acro's head became widely available. Also probably too lightweight. #toydinosaurs #dinosaurs
The Tetrapod Zoology article on #dinosaur brains, neuron counts and intelligence already has 21 comments. Thanks to those who've contributed. tetzoo.com/blog/2024/4/22… Some brief follow-up thoughts... [pics Andrew S. Minniear / Caspar et al. 2024 / Apple TV Prehistoric Planet]
A good summary(again, summary, not the whole detailed paper) was posted by one of the authors, @TetZoo, which I’m linking. It includes other links and reference to Reiner 2023, the other paper that ended up complimenting theirs… tetzoo.com/blog/2024/4/22…
This may be one of the biggest papers I ever have the privilege to be part of. Out now in @ScienceMagazine, we ask: Are nature conservation interventions working? The answer is YES. We now need to fund MORE to reverse global biodiversity declines. science.org/doi/10.1126/sc… 🧵
New from @PrincetonUPress, by Richard Webb and Jeff Blincow, A Field Guide to the Larger Mammals of South America. 488 pp, covering 420 species. Over 550 photos, tons of new artwork too. Looks amazing, I can't wait to dig in properly. #books #naturalhistorybooks #mammals
Oh man, #TetZooCon 2024 is going to be something else. We have about 9 speakers confirmed now, plus a panel event, a coach tour, and much more. WANT to have things announced asap but, as ever, we're waiting for confirmation on the venue. Here are pics from 2023...

Regardless of intelligence, I still hold that bipedal dinosaur tool use would be a lot higher than we've learned to expect from animals with reptile-like brains. That sheer amount of animals with their hands free in an ecosystem isn't something we have an intuitive framework for.

.... again, do things we've more traditionally considered restricted to animals like mammals: e.g., tool use. Yes I have read Jonathan Balcombe's What A Fish Knows :)
I was too busy to open it until the end of the day, but Yiran the PNSO Lufengosaurus arrived today. I also got a rare shot of one with an Alamosaurus, presumably via time travel.
Hello! In just under TWO WEEKS, my expansive journey through the history of animals, told through the lens of the humble egg, is out. It was a mega-project, both creatively and in terms of research, and I am so proud of it. Lil thread...
Finally, one student wrote about their prof's behaviour: - Dr. Mennill’s “walk with me” during the lab birding trip was a full storm-chaser run. Thanks for a great semester, students of Ornithology. It has been a pleasure to walk with you and learn about birds together. [🦚5/5]
Some students gave field-based answers: - That Windsor has so many bird species. - Learning to identify birds by their songs - Seeing a Peregrine Falcon during our lab outing. - How aggressive chickadees are. - I can identify birds in my yard now. [🦚4/5]
Some students wrote about finer points: - That birds eat their nestlings’ fecal sacs. - That ducks have penises. - Hoatzin and their crazy little claws. - That females have a single ovary. - The diversity of bird tongues. [🦚3/5]
Some students wrote about core topics: - That feathers serve so many functions. - That birds use stars and magnetic fields to navigate. - The complexity of birdsong. - The avian respiratory system. - The avian eye. [🦚2/5]
This semester I taught Ornithology to 65 students. The last question on my final exam was: "What was the most interesting thing you learned in this course?” The students gave diverse answers... [🦚1/5]
@TetZoo So weather Trex & other dinosaurs were either intelligent like reptiles or birds (not a little smart like mammals), they still highly likely show parental care, are highly social (herding+pack hunting), e.t.c., right!?👍
This may be one of the biggest papers I ever have the privilege to be part of. Out now in @ScienceMagazine, we ask: Are nature conservation interventions working? The answer is YES. We now need to fund MORE to reverse global biodiversity declines. science.org/doi/10.1126/sc… 🧵

@TetZoo @PrincetonUPress Well… they basically left out the super diverse groups hahaha (minus shrews) but it is really good that they have an updated primate taxonomy. I just checked and I just preordered it
