This could only happen in Floriduh…
The Etruscan shrew (Suncus etruscus) is one of the smallest living land mammals in the world!🤏
It only grows around 1.3 to 2.1 inches (35 to 55 millimeters) long and weighs somewhere between 0.06 and 0.1 ounces (1.8 and 3 grams). The tiny critter lives in forest, shrub, or grassland habitats throughout southern Europe, northern Africa, and parts of Asia. Its diet consists of small insects such as ants.

It’s time for #FossilFriday! In the 1880s, no one had ever seen a fossil from a horned dinosaur, so when paleontologists first examined Triceratops horn fragments, it was thought to be an ancestor of the American bison. Triceratops’ skull measures about 8 feet (2.4 meters) long—almost a third of its body length—yet it was much lighter than it looks. Inside its massive head, its brain was smaller than that of a German shepherd! And in its beak-shaped mouth, Triceratops had between 144 and 160 teeth, which it replaced completely between two and four times over its lifetime.

Like its relatives, the veiled chameleon (Chamaeleo calyptratus) has a sticky tongue that’s lightning-fast.🦎👅
In fact, its tongue can be as long as its body! This reptile lives in arid plateau or mountain habitats between Saudi Arabia and Yemen. It’s arboreal and tends to hang out in the treetops or in bushes and shrubs.
