Meet the Sifaka Lemur. 😊 These are the oldest living Lemurs on earth, and can only be found on the island of Madagascar. They are distinguishable from other Lemur species, due to their vertical clinging and long leaping strides. #WildlifePhotography #Wildlife #Nature #Lemur

On the 23rd of October Matilda was hit by a truck. They didn’t stop to help. A kind lady helped cover her for the night and brought her to us. She was in a horrible state. Today just 3 months later the unthinkable… Matilda is back walking… (1/8) 🧵

Why do wolves scent roll? 🐺 When encountering a new scent, wolves will scent roll to mark that area as their own + perhaps even bring the scent back to their family to share the discovery - it’s like bringing home a souvenir! Plus, it looks like a lot of fun!

"Adams said the NYPD does not want to release the suspect’s name at this time. 'If we do, we are basically giving a tip to the person we are seeking and we do not want to give him an upper hand at all,' Adams said." I'm going to go out on a limb here and say the suspect knows his name.

So, my employer is proposing reducing their employer pension contributions to the 3% minimum as a response to the NI increase. Why the heck did Labour tie their own hands on other tax rises ? This will affect relatively low paid working people. FFS

Ancient woodland now covers just 2.5% of the UK. It’s essential that we resist anything that risks the tiny amount that we still have. Thanks @bylinesnetwork.bsky.social for raising this. The question is, what can be done to safeguard the nature around this development?

If you're wondering why the media is on the side of the land owners who don't want to pay their taxes, it's because protesting is only bad when poor people do it x

If you bring central London to a halt in order to campaign against catastrophic climate change then you're a "barmy" eco "fanatic" who deserves to be locked up. If you do the same to hang on to your multimillion pound inheritance tax exemption then you're a brave freedom fighter defying the odds
