Never seen a pangolin tongue? Well, now you have. 😛 Their sticky tongues are incredibly useful, helping them to pick up food from the ground below. And they can even measure longer than their whole body!

🚨 A year on, the Biodiversity Net Gain scheme has delivered a fraction of its potential. Nature recovery CAN go hand in hand with our planning system, but if we are to create more space for nature, our government must ensure the system is #WilderByDesign.🌿 www.independent.co.uk/climate-chan...

Winter is a great time to spot otter tracks, especially by rivers, canals, and wetlands. 🦦 Look for paw prints, tail marks, and spraints (otter droppings with fish bones 🐟). If you’re lucky, you might even catch an otter hunting in the daylight! #DailyDoseOfNature
