Subject: Animals: Real-yet-mythical sharks, playful elephants, shimmering sea slugs, and much more
Plus: What do you call a group of moles?
In this edition: Sharks that straddle the boundary between fact & fiction. Seaweed-mimicking slugs. Fire cats. It's time for another animals adventure. | | |
| | | Red Panda | Behold Ailurus fulgens, from the Greek ailuros, meaning "cat," and the Latin fulgens, meaning "shining" or "fire-colored," a reference to its reddish coat. These little fire cats shine on, but they are endangered. | | | | | |
| A group of moles is known as a "labor." (Or "labour.") The word is "one of many alleged group names found in late Middle English glossarial sources," and revived in the 19th century, according to the Oxford English Dictionary. | OED | |
Enough Animals Already? Nah. | | | | |
