@garym6942.bsky.socialAlberta researchers investigate how zombie parasites take control of ant brains. Dicrocoelium is one of the best examples of parasitic mind control, say local researchers.

@aussieanimals.bsky.socialAustralian pythons range from the anthill python at 60cm to the scrub python at over 6 metres.
None are venomous. All are excellent at getting into roof cavities.
@aussieanimals.bsky.socialNot all tiger snakes have stripes.
Every spring this one fact produces a wave of misidentifications, because colour is the least reliable thing about Australian snakes.
@wesmorgan1.bsky.socialHere's a five-lined skink (Plestiodon fasciatus). These reptiles prefer moist, hardwood areas near permanent water sources (e.g. rivers, streams), and have been known to live for up to 6 years. #backyardnature #herpetology
@aussieanimals.bsky.socialAustralia has around 200 snake species. Roughly 100 are venomous and about 12 could actually kill you.
That gap between "venomous" and "dangerous" is where most of the fear lives.
