It's #WTQuiz Answer Time! Most of you picked "leather products" and this was incorrect! The right answer was "Live animals." In 2020, more shipments of live animals were imported into the US than shipments of leather products, feathers or hunting trophies. #WildlifeTrade #SciComm

#GuessTheCrest will be back in your feeds (or maybe buried amongst Elon’s ad revenue algorithm) in 15 mins. And we have two lovely crests today. Tune in at 6pm GMT / 1pm EST. Answers revealed at 11pm / 6pm - and a clue along the way (if I’m feeling nice😇). #BirdTwitter

And we are a go. I am not quite sure whether this is an easy one or a hard one… I guess we’ll see :). Don’t forget you can vote for your fave below and also guess the connection between the two! #GuessTheCrest

No guesses folks!? That’s rare. Ok here you go. They’re both woodpeckers. With slightly disjunct ranges. And I’ve only seen them in India (as far as I can remember anyway). #GuesstheCrest

Good morning #primatweeps! For today’s #PrimatePlaytime we’re going to be learning about a fan favorite #gorilla with some King Kong #PrimateTrivia. First question, what year did King Kong make his cinematic debut?

Second question: In the 2005 rendition, we see human skeletons, as the chef says “torn limb from limb.” If #KingKong is modeled after #gorillas, what food would he eat? #PrimateTrivia #PrimatePlaytime

Third question: The most iconic #KingKong scene is when Kong is climbing up the Empire State Building, but do #gorillas really climb that often in the wild? #PrimatePlaytime #PrimateTrivia #Primatweeps

King Kong has a very noticeable silverback, what does that mean in #gorilla society? #PrimateTrivia #PrimatePlaytime #Primatweeps

Last question! King Kong is the only giant gorilla on Skull Island, but are gorillas normally found alone in the wild? #PrimateTrivia #PrimatePlaytime #Primatweeps

Thank you #Primatweeps for participating in #PrimatePlaytime today! Answers will be posted later tonight in this thread! #PrimateTrivia #SciComm #KingKong #gorilla
