Greater sage-grouse (Centrocercus urophasianus)

My absolute favorite piece of Norse lore is that the dwarves were originally the maggots infesting the giant Ymir's corpse, and I think every fantasy work involving dwarves should include that canon
Hah yes! When I did the entry for Dwarf on ABC, I went all in on the maggot angle.
Never doing that again 😔

Murphy, a rescued bald eagle who is known for fiercely protecting a rock he considers his egg, will be getting the opportunity to become a father to an orphaned chick ❤️
Previously Murphy was the eagle known for:
Go, Murphy! I hope he and the eaglet bond.
World Bird Sanctuary posted an in-depth update on Murphy and the eaglet on their Facebook today! After summarizing the story so far, they say,
And that brings us to today! The eaglet (inside the baby jail) was introduced to Murphy’s new enclosure last week, and Murphy has displayed the behavior we were looking for. He has responded to the peeps of the baby, and begun protecting the area. For temperature reasons, the baby has been brought inside and fed in the evenings, but the chick’s feathering has now developed to the point that it can now regulate its own body temperature.
And that is the story so far! This week, Murphy will get the chance to have direct access to the chick and we will see if he accepts it completely. There is absolutely no guarantee that he will do so, but hopes are high, and he has SO many people - including all of you - cheering him on.
We will keep you posted!!
They also have a more recent picture of the baby (with eagle stuffy friend):

Spined tortoise beetle, Acromis spinifex, Cassidinae, Chrysomelidae
Found in South America, this species is one of few tortoise beetles that engage in maternal care. Females guard their young in all stages from egg to pupa - photo 3 shows a female with eggs, photos 4 and 5 show a female with larvae, and photo 6 shows a female with pupae.
