The BITCH has landed. This is the book that took me over two years to write. In my actual hands. It documents how sexist bias polluted evolutionary biology & caused the female of the species to be marginalised & misunderstood by the scientific patriarchy. Out March 3rd #bitchbook

People keep sending me this video which looks like a sloth playing with water on a boat trip, but is actually a stressed animal trying to escape but not comprehending how. Very 😢

The photographer Andre Vorster captured evidence of a turtle doing the job of cleaning a rhino’s bum. As a citizen of The UK right now, I relate to that turtle. #brexit #covid #clusterfuck

Tonight at 8pm in Bbc4 they are repeating one of my favourite shows - Nature’s Miracle Orphans, in which I got to teach an orphaned baby elephant how to swim. It was EMOTIONAL.
