February science pictures from Nature magazine


I promised myself to start checking Nature magazine's monthly compilation of science images every month, and I remembered (I only made that promise last month).  While there's a fish with a mouth that has growths around it that look like eggs to attract females, I decided that there was really one clear standout image in this group.

Meet Bagheera.

Actually, this is not really Bagheera.  But Bagheera was a black panther, and this is one too, the first picture of one captured in 100 years in Africa.

Isn't it strange that there was just a movie last year about the Black Panther superhero?  How in the world did Marvel Studios manage to get this bit of free product placement?
