Cutie… patootie... agouti? You might know the capybara, but what about its distant cousin the red-rumped agouti (Dasyprocta leporina)? This wide-ranging mammal can be found in forests throughout northern South America including Colombia, Brazil, and Venezuela. Though smaller than its more famous relative, this hefty rodent can weigh up to 13 lbs (5.9 kg). It dines on a diet of fruit, nuts, and seeds. Like a squirrel, the agouti will bury surplus food to save for a later date. But sometimes this critter forgets to come back for its stash, spreading seeds throughout its habitat as a result.

It's time for Trilobite Tuesday! Pictured is Dolichoharpes dentoni. Trilobites of the order Harpetida, like this one, have long attracted attention due to their iconic Paleozoic appearance. With a little well-placed imaginative gloss, some might say specimens like this resemble nothing as much as a modern isopod crossed with the Starship Enterprise. This 450 million-year-old specimen hails from Ontario’s renowned Bobcaygeon Formation.

🍅Craving a juicy ripe tomato? The tomato frog (Dyscophus antogilii) can’t help you. While it might resemble a juicy fruit, this amphibian probably wouldn’t taste very good. Why? A ripe tomato’s bright red coloring, produced by the phytochemical lycopene, is a signal that it’s ready to eat. However, the bright red hue of the tomato frog is an example of aposematic coloration—a warning signal to predators that means “don’t touch!” If bothered, it can secrete a sticky, mildly toxic goo. The tomato frog can also inflate its body like a balloon, making it hard to swallow. Photo: Frank-Roland Fließ, CC BY-NC 4.0, iNaturalist

🐌 Need a tiny snail to brighten your day? We suggest the black gloss snail (Zonitoides nitidus). Found across most of the Northern Hemisphere, the shell of this diminutive gastropod typically reaches only 0.2 in (.5 cm) in diameter—less than the size of a penny. This snail is herbivorous, feeding on decaying leaves, fruit, and mushrooms. Photo: origamilevi, CC BY-NC 4.0, iNaturalist

Meet the Indian flapshell turtle (Lissemys punctata)! Native to the Indian subregion, this pig-nosed critter lives in a variety of habitats, including brackish lagoons and rice fields. It tends to hang out near shallow waters where it can bury itself beneath mud or bask in the Sun while atop floating vegetation. As an omnivore, its diet is wide-ranging and includes frogs, worms, carrion, fish, and aquatic plants. Photo: Somu Mukho, CC BY-NC 4.0, iNaturalist

Do you recognize this shark? It’s one of the largest and most recognizable on Earth. As a juvenile, it’s covered in dark spots that merge into stripes as it grows older—but the stripes eventually fade. Its powerful jaws and teeth are especially useful in hunting large animals such as loggerhead turtles, but it’ll eat almost anything. Like many other sharks and rays, this species gives birth to live young—up to 80 pups per litter! Did you guess it yet? It’s the tiger shark (Galeocerdo cuvier).

Feeling crabby? Feast your eyes on today’s Exhibit of the Day, the Museum’s Japanese spider crab (Macrocheira kaempferi). This species is the biggest living crab and the largest arthropod in the world, measuring up to 13 ft (4 m) from the tip of one outstretched leg to another! Its diet includes dead fish, invertebrates, and algae, but it occasionally snatches live prey with its strong claws. This scavenger can be found on the seafloor off Japan’s Pacific coast, inhabiting depths of more than 984 ft (300 m). You can spot a model of one in the Museum’s Hall of Ocean Life!

Happy Caturday to all. Have you ever seen a jaguarundi (Puma yagouaroundi)? A highly adaptable species, this low-slung feline inhabits a wide range of environments from southern North America through Central and South America. It’s also known as the “otter cat” for its uncanny resemblance to the animal. The jaguarundi is very vocal: This cat has up to 13 distinct calls ranging from purring to whistling and chattering. It dines on a variety of prey including small mammals like armadillos, reptiles, birds, and even fish. Photo: gabriel_arroyo, CC BY-NC 4.0, iNaturalist

Scared of the dentist? Things could be worse: You could be a babirusa. Members of the genus babyrousa, these wild pigs’ tusks, or front canine teeth, never stop growing—reaching lengths of more than 11 in (27.9 cm). If they aren’t worn down by regular activity, they can push through an individual’s snout, curve back towards its forehead, and in some cases, grow back into the babirusa’s skull!

This Fossil Friday, let’s travel back to the Triassic to meet the mighty Prestosuchus chiniquensis. With large claws, a huge head, and sharp-toothed jaws, you might think this animal was a dinosaur. But, Prestosuchus was actually closely related to crocodylomorphs, a group that includes living crocs and their extinct relatives! At around 20 ft (6 m) long and 900 lbs (408 kg), Prestosuchus was one of the most formidable predators of its time—inhabiting what is now modern-day Brazil some 210 million years ago. Photo: © AMNH

Are two heads better than one? Not necessarily! Did you know that a genetic mutation causes some snakes (and other animals) to be born with two heads? This rare phenomenon, called bicephaly, occurs when a developing embryo splits into twins, but does not fully separate, resulting in a single-bodied two-headed snake. With two separate brains, each head competes for control, resulting in difficulty hunting and traveling. This makes survival challenging for bicephalic snakes in the wild.
