Female pill bugs carry their #eggs and newly-hatched young in a special pouch called a marsupium.

Spotted a crow this morning solving what looked like a self-invented puzzle. Just for fun, apparently. Non-human animals are so much more than we give them credit for#Animals #AnimalCognition #Crows #Vegan #AnimalRights

Mexican hairy dwarf porcupine (Coendou mexicanus), also known as the Mexican tree porcupine. It is a small, nocturnal, arboreal rodent found in Central America, known for its "hairy" appearance that hides over 30,000 sharp quills. They are solitary and often return to the exact same hiding spot, making their hiding places dirty. To mark their territory, males have been observed engaging in "anal dragging," rubbing their posterior along the ground or branches. The juvenile, born alone, have soft spines which harden soon after birth. #weird #animals #nature
