Zany zebra facts: 1) Each zebra has a unique stripe pattern—no two are alike. 2) A zebra’s eyesight at night is thought to be about as good as that of an owl. 3) Zebras have a pad of fat under their mane that keeps it standing straight up.

smithsoniannmnh When calcium leached out from this scallop some 40 million years ago, it formed a halo that solidified the sediment around it. Unearthed in Washington state, the specimen now resides in our research collections. Happy #FossilFridayfrom our Department of Paleobiology and @SIxDIGI, who are well on their way to digitizing #1MillionFossils!
Mesmerizing. If you know some programming can find the code in this gist, and the details and further tips in this Medium post: Playing with Paths
