  • I’m sorry you can’t recognize a winning idea when you see one.

  • I’m sorry, I said green energy, are you saying you need more details than that? $2,000,000,000 pls.

  • A bit too apt.

    I’ve got a new green power startup, wanna invest?

  • Flying Snake

    Old news, they made an entire documentary about this.

    what camera/lens

    Dunno about that, unfortunately - there were at least 3 photographers across the photos I shared and I don’t even know if they each had their own camera/lenses or if they shared a bit.

  • If you’re viewing this from another instance, I used this image from another article as the thumbnail/banner, but it turns out that only shows up on .ml

  • Another gallery had different descriptions and a couple unique photos, but they’re evil and make mirroring hard, so here’s five:

    Another species discovered during the survey, the Battambang leaf-toed gecko – Dixonius noctivagus (meaning ‘night wanderer’) – is covered in tiny leopard-like spots. Only two species of the Dixonius gecko genus have been identified in Cambodia, far fewer than in neighbouring Thailand and Vietnam, which indicates it is likely that further undiscovered species exist in the landscape.Photograph: Hun Seiha/Fauna & Flora

    Four populations of the striped Kamping Poi bent-toed gecko were found and identified as a new species: Cyrtodactylus kampingpoiensis. Despite being described as one species, it is thought that, due to the isolation of the karst formations, these four populations are separate in evolutionary terms, and further genetic analyses may establish whether they are four different species rather than just one.Photograph: Phyroum Chourn/Fauna & Flora

    One of two millipede species collected during the survey (this one was discovered in Battambang in 2024), the vivid colouring of the Orthomorpha battambangiensis probably indicates that these millipedes are poisonous or, at the very least, unappetising for potential predators.Photograph: Fauna & Flora

    A reticulated python in Phnom Preak, Battambang province. This python species, native to south and south-east Asia, is the world’s longest snake with many specimens measuring in excess of seven metres.Photograph: Phyroum Chourn/Fauna & Flora

    The brown tree frog, also known as the Hong Kong whipping frog, found in the Phnom Prampi cave in Battambang province, a designated natural heritage site. The frog gets its name from the way the female uses her back legs to whip up foam before making a nest for her eggs.Photograph: Phyroum Chourn/Fauna & Flora

  • Well yeah, that offer wasn’t accepted quickly enough and now it’s expired. We’ll have to renegotiate a new offer now that circumstances have changed.

    Who would be willing to buy a product which is “from Israel” but draws a different line depending on where in occupied Palestine the product is from?

  • A couple choice quotes in case you neither clicked through nor read the transcription, but decided to check out the comment(s):

    Of course, “discovery” is a loaded word. Many animals and plants described by Western science were already known to Indigenous peoples and local communities.

    Conservation laws, threatened species lists and monitoring programs usually work at the species level. If several species are mistakenly treated as one, a declining species can be hidden inside a larger group that looks secure.

    As we stand at the precipice of Earth’s sixth mass extinction, this has never been more important.

    Recognising hidden biodiversity does not solve conservation problems by itself.

  • I assume world is more broadly federated afaik, but could be wrong. There’s definitely something specifically up with ml though.
