This week has been a scorcher, but the Przewalski’s horses are loving it! ☀️

Have you ever noticed how their coats change with the seasons?

Native to Central Asia, Przewalski’s horses (also known as takhi) are built to handle extreme environments, from icy winters to blazing summers. As the temperatures rise they shed their thick winter coats and transition into a lighter, shorter summer coat to help keep cool 🧊

Every lynx has its own unique facial markings, making it possible for anyone with a well-trained eye to tell individuals apart 😼

Tongue... up the nose (???) Tuesday 😕

That doesn't seem right.

It might seem gross but animals like our bison lick their noses primarily to keep them clean and moist. They produce a thick, sticky mucus that traps dust and bacteria to protect their lungs. Lacking hands (or tissues) they use their long, rough tongues to remove this build-up. A protective habit for their respiratory health 🫁
