I watched a video about cat and dog DNA changes to be domesticated. Wolve's DNA changes in a bunch of different ways. Cat's DNA had ONE change. The fear response to humans was turned down. That's it. Otherwise their DNA matches wild cats. Cats are basically wild animals that tolerate you.

You probably know that ‘s’more’ is an alteration of “some more.” But did you know that ‘marshmallow’ comes from the ‘mallow’ plant that is found in MARSHES???

If you are an expert on air quality and have 10-15 minutes to talk to me today or tomorrow about important things journalists should know while reporting on wildfires and smoke, my DMs are open, or you can email me at karen at OpenNews dot org.

‘Chariots, Treasure and Power: Secrets of the Melsonby Hoard’ Fantastic Yorkshire Museum exhibition showcasing some of the 800+ artefacts from the UK’s largest Iron Age metalwork hoard! So many beautifully crafted bronze objects decorated with coral, glass, and enamel! Do visit! 📷 me #Archaeology

My photo collage shows various copper-alloy objects, now green with corrosion, from the Melsonby Iron Age Hoard on display at the Yorkshire Museum in York.

Top left: a copper-alloy bridle bit. The metal rod was placed in the ponies mouth and the rings at each end rested on the cheeks

Middle left: an ornate copper-alloy finial 

Bottom left: Decorative horse harness fitting

Top right: a view of the so-called ‘Block’. The block is made up of 88 individual artefacts which were threaded together, wrapped in fabric and then buried. Over time the objects have become fused together due to iron corrosion and appear as a large orangey-brown block of corroded metal. Objects in the block include horse harnesses, spearheads, wagon parts, and more! On the wall behind is exhibition signage reading ‘Chariots, Treasure and Power: Secrets of the Melsonby Hoard’ 

Middle right: Horse harness fitting embellished with coral bleached white by time, but once a vibrant red colour.

Bottom right: decorative stylised human face from a copper-alloy wine mixing bowl

Atlantic puffins typically live between 20 and 30 years in the wild. They are monogamous and mate for life, returning to the exact same burrows and partners each year. They perform a tender billing ritual by topping and rubbing their beaks together, reinforcing their bond

When enough rain falls in Maltahöhe, Namibia, millions of desert lilies bloom across the landscape for just a few days each year. This natural phenomenon briefly transforms the arid desert into a sea of flowers almost overnight. IG: @ earthpix
