Black Ivory coffee: Elephant gut bacteria may contribute to its smooth, chocolaty flavor
Coffee beans that pass through the digestive tracts of animals get their unique flavors from the activity of gut microbes, report researchers from the Institute of Science Tokyo. The guts of Asian elephants that produce Black Ivory coffee (BIC) were rich in pectin-digesting bacteria. Heat-driven degradation of pectin during roasting makes coffee bitter. Bacterial activity that reduces the pectin content of BIC could be the source of its smoother, chocolaty, and less bitter flavor.

Southern elephant seals recover in Southern Africa, but global picture is mixed
The southern elephant seal population in South Africa has seen its conservation status improve from near threatened to least concern, with a recent assessment citing the absence of serious threats to the species’ breeding colonies. Elephant seals (Mirounga leonina) are native to sub-Antarctic islands, including Prince Edward Island and Marion Island, which are part of […]

A poster from the European Movement in Scotland: The poster is very thick with text, but the main visuals are: A mastodon holding an EU flag in its trunk. This elephant hasn’t forgotten! ...that the EU made us more prosperous and secure. The world knows Brexit has failed. Scotland knows. Continuing to fail is not n option.

The quest to understand consciousness often feels like searching for an elephant in a room—we're certain it's there because we feel it, yet it remains stubbornly hidden from our scientific and philosophical grasp.

Consciousness, the elephant in the room
Consciousness is the holy grail of our quest to comprehend who we are. We feel conscious, there is no doubt about it. But understanding consciousness has been outside our reach so far. It is a strange state of affairs, we have elucidated so many mysteries about the world, thanks to

Drones: An ally in the sky to help save elephants
They say an elephant never forgets—and it turns out they can learn to adapt to drones. Once seen as a source of alarm, drones are now proving to be surprisingly elephant-friendly and a valuable research tool. Previously, the use of drones in elephant conservation has mostly relied on their power to disturb: elephants reliably run from them, making them a useful tool to drive elephants from croplands.

Of course, the elephant in the room here is probably this: why are cars given preference by governments? Because cars are used by the rich. Public transport, especially in the American continent, is considered to be for the poor. And helping the poor reeks a bit too left-wing.

Yesterday I finished "Marshmallow and Jordan" by Alina Chau. It's an excellent cozy graphic novel about a friendship between a wheelchair-using athlete and a baby elephant in Indonesia. It's got lovely vibrant art, an interesting plot, and a final twist that fits nicely.
Not sure it's totally realistic about the accessibility of water polo, and it's not #OwnVoices but the author made what to me seems like a good effort to be both respectful and neither too-positive nor too-paternalistic about disability. Would be curious to hear the perspective of someone who use mobility aids about this of course.

I might offend some folks with this poll… but I think it's kind of the elephant in the room, my friends.
Q: Is the biggest problem with #Mastodon in general actually the moderation of its biggest instance: mastodon.social?
This is not directed at anyone personally, rather, it's directed at a toxic culture that I see innocent people/victims posting about over and over again.

The Las Vegas Raiders have their new head coach in Klint Kubiak, and he’s putting together his coaching staff for the 2026 NFL season. Nonetheless, the elephant in the room for the Silver and Black remains speculation about Maxx Crosby. Kubiak and the Raiders will likely need to sell Crosby on their vision for the rebuilding timeline. Nonetheless, if the Silver and Black will take two to three years to become contenders in the AFC, it might be best for all parties to part ways, and the Raider…
