Mountain lions, more closely related to housecats than lions, face challenging lives in Central California's urban wildlands. Their habitat is fragmented by freeways and development. Despite their wild nature, puma kittens behave much like domestic cats, and their mothers even purr. (Footage courtesy of the National Park Service)

Meet the bone collector caterpillar, a newly described Hyposmocoma species. This rare carnivore (only 0.13% of caterpillars) lurks in spider webs, camouflaged by insect corpses, even preying on its own kind. Roughly the length of a fingernail, it's a fascinating example of nature's unique adaptations.

The Many Passions of Matteo Lane
Matteo Lane is a multifaceted artist—stand-up comedian, painter, singer, and Broadway performer. In this interview, he shares how these skills intertwine in his creative process, likening art to a tree that branches out in various directions.
We explore his role as Billy Flynn in Broadway’s Chicago, his journey from bar shows to international comedy tours, and the evolution of gay representation in comedy. Lane also discusses his artistic roots at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago, his admiration for Maria Callas, and his philosophy of focusing on the journey of creation rather than the end product.
