I'm hard at work on my sail-backs vs. buffalo-backs post (as well as another piece for later today about evolution as fact and theory), but if you're looking for some interesting reading here's a smattering of links I think you should check out;
My friend Kate has written up a thoughtful reply to my post about animals "mothering" other species, and also has a great piece on surprising sexual selection in topis. Hell, just read her blog regularly; you won't regret it.
Likewise, fellow zoology blogger Anne Marie has a great post on Maned Wolves (her specialty) and Aplomado Falcons. I won't spoil the connection between the two, but it's definitely a must-read piece.
As for paleo things, Zach offers some more thoughts on the recent Eotriceratops paper and addresses the problem that Diceratops (if it can so be called) really needs to be described properly.
News of a recent survey where it was found that nearly twice as many Americans believed in miracles (79%) than thought evolution was a reality (42%) has also been making the rounds on the blogosphere, but Julia explains how it's not only the US that's having trouble with the acceptance of pseudoscience.
Update: National Geographic also has a timeline of human interactions with Gorillas since they became known to the western world in the 19th century; things don't look good for our ape relations.
