– FLAYRAH NEWSBYTES

GreenReaper: Classic portraits ‘made better with cats’.
Fred: Who, er, what do you think won Best of Show at the 29th annual Tarantula Exhibition?
crossaffliction: I spent some time tagging all the old Previews archives. I don’t know if that’s really worth a Newsbyte, but that was, like, a lot of work, and I crave recognition.
GreenReaper: Toxic toads from South East Asia threaten Madagascan wildlife; most likely, it’s our fault.
Fred: “The poor misunderstood hyena can’t help that it has weird sex.”
RingtailedFox: Bat invades WEYI NBC 25 studios during weather forecast!
GreenReaper: The flip side to toxic toads: once invasive species take root, killing them all might not be the best idea.
GreenReaper: Free-rider crickets learn, twice, that it’s better to let others call for mates when killer flies are listening.
GreenReaper: If you thought furries were kinky, wait until you see what some insects get up to.
