why are you skeptical of the current explaintion for Brachycephalus's landing issues? 👀

Basically, Brachycephalus are the only miniaturised frogs that seem to have these problems, and there are other frogs with equally small vestibular systems that work fine. I have seen tiny Stumpffia jump over a metre and then jump again moments later, which Brachycephalus are apparently incapable of.

Moreover, the behaviour we see in Brachycephalus is not just disorientation, which I think should be accompanied by wild flailing, but more closely resembles the spontaneous myotonic stiffening that occurs in fainting goats. Compare:

We also know that the entire otic capsule of Brachycephalus is, to use the scientific terminology, fucked, leading to the seemingly impossible but apparently confirmed consequence that they cannot hear their own calls. This is dramatically different from most if not all other miniaturised frogs.

So basically, I think Brachycephalus are a special case, and that the current explanation that supposes that the fluid of the semicircular canals cannot travel fast enough to allow orientation, is at best genus-specific and not miniaturisation-determined, and at worst simply wrong. Hence, I have a grant application seeking to test it in other miniaturised frogs. It has been rejected before, so I am not holding my breath, but it would be nice to be able to look into this.

If you’re not moving your body, seriously what the fuck are you doing? You were never made to be a cabbage on the sofa scrolling through your phone 2/47. Your energy needs to flow, it needs to move and this shouldn’t feel like a task, this should feel like a privilege, a priority, an honour. To be flexible, to be healthy, to be radiant….why would you ever want to deprive yourself, your body of energy flowing through you? Why would you ever want to be stagnant when you can be loose and free? All that trauma stored in your hips needs to be released, and working at your desk all day means you need to prioritise your movement and flow on a deeper level. This is not about looking a certain way, its about tapping into the divine feminine flow and allowing the energy to move through your body so you can show up as your most radiant version. Free your stagnant energy, prioritise movement, exercise, dance, and embrace bodily freedom over stagnation.

Much like monkeys swinging from branch to branch, some parrots can swing through the trees with the greatest of ease, scientists have learned. But these colorful birds grip the branches with an unusual appendage: their beaks. Rosy-faced lovebirds can use their adaptable beaks as a third limb that supports them even as they swing like gibbons and spider monkeys. In research published Tuesday in Royal Society Open Science, scientists describe how the parrots hung underneath a 3D-printed “branch” and moved along by using their beaks and hind legs in tandem to alternately grasp, swing like a pendulum, let go and reattach themselves a few inches farther along.
