Male Fiddler Crab (genus Uca, Austruca or Tubuca). They have an unusual diet, they're detritivores. They use the small claw to scoop up mouthfuls of sediment, sift out the algae and microbes, and then spit the sand back out in little pellets. #wildlife #nature #biology #crustaceans #photo

https://www.sciencealert.com/venting-doesnt-reduce-anger-but-something-else-does-review-finds "Venting anger might sound like a good idea, but there's not a shred of scientific evidence to support catharsis theory."

Male American Kestrel (Falco sparverius)....takes grasshoppers, dragonflies, voles, mice...they're almost everywhere from Alaska and Canada all the way south to Tierra del Fuego at the tip of S. America. *this particular bird is either used for falconry or it's an 'ambassador' bird at a zoo. #birdsofmastodon #ecology #nature #photo #wildlife #biology #birds
