Jan's Twitter Animal Threads

May 12th, 2018

Since January 2017, I've done periodic animal threads on Twitter, collecting and posting interesting or amusing factlets about a given species or group of animals. On this page, you can find links to each thread; a meta-thread threading the threads is here.

Your timeline probably could use some more moose, so here you go. https://t.co/9f8jKvBb6h
