American Woodcock demonstrates "distal rhynchokinesis," the ability to flex the end of its bill. This allows it to grab earthworms it encounters when probing in soil. Other shorebirds, including Dunlins & Sanderlings, can bend their bills in this way. 😃

Crazy that this actually was a big story in New York for a while and had people there seriously scratching their heads.

BIG NEWS: Apex is now on view at the Museum! Thought to be the largest and one of the most complete Stegosaurus specimens ever found, this 150-million-year-old fossil can now be seen in the Museum’s Griffin Exploration Atrium.

Apex will be studied as part of a new research initiative by scientists in the Museum’s Division of Paleontology focused on Stegosaurus biology, including the unique ornithischian dinosaur’s growth and life history. This work will require taking a small sample from a thigh bone of the specimen, which will become part of the Museum’s permanent scientific collection. All resulting 3D digital models, including the internal structures of its skull from new CT scans taken at the Museum, will be made available as a scientific resource for the wider community of researchers.
