Behold: the spiny softshell turtle. This pancake gets its name from the little spines near the front edge of its leathery shell. That long nose? Perfect for sticking just above the water’s surface like a breathing straw while the rest of the turtle hides below. 📸USFWS

Talk about amazing camouflage! Look closely and you'll spot a nesting common nighthawk. These ground nesting birds incubate 2 eggs for 16 to 20 days. After another 17 to 18 days young are ready to leave the nest. 📷 Mike Budd/USFWS

When anchored on Mark Twain Lake, I’m in no rush for the day to end. ☀️🌊 From quiet coves to open-water joyrides, Missouri is even better on a boat. 🛥️ Cruise through more boating destinations: bit.ly/4eBu9Aw — Mo #ThatsMyMO 🏷️ @MoStateParks, MO Conservation

This field mouse met a tragic end in Christian County - likely to the loggerhead shrike! These songbirds impale their dinner on thorns or barbed wire fences. Because they're perching birds and not raptors, shrikes lack the talons to stabilize their dinner. 📸 Josh Wisdom, MDC

Enjoy some moody blues 💙 Male indigo buntings’ showy colors range from turquoise to dark blue. These shades come from reflected blue light in their feather structures rather than pigment! #tuesdaytweet #indigobunting
