Uncharismatic Fact of the Day
If any bird was going to be recognized for its pride, it would be the fabulous ruff. This bird was one of the first species in which homosexual behaviour was documented by a naturalist, Edmund Selous, in 1906!

Some other common names include timberdoodle, mudbat, bogsucker, night partridge, or Labrador twister. A very fun variety!

Uncharismatic Fact of the Day
For snails, traveling long distances can be a bit of a challenge due to their size and extremely slow speed. Fortunatelly, snails in the genus Physa have found a workaround! In early February, about 20-30 snails will attach themselves to the wings of an upland sandpiper and hitch a ride south with the bird's migration.
