Was there recently (Mon Repos in QLD, Australia), I recall them saying it was a 1 in 1000 survival rate [1, 2] which may explain why mothers are laying ~120 eggs in each clutch multiple times each season. If you head back to Mon Repos around this time of year (Feb through March) you're much more likely to see the eggs hatch.
Good news recently too, this season (2024/2025) has seen a record-breaking number of eggs being laid in Mon Repos[3]. Highly recommend anyone goes visit, pretty special.
This is amazing, but surely I'm not the only one who is struck by the irony of a company called 'Gilead' who is trying to save the human race? (Handmaid's tale reference)
1. Market reach, it's where the customers are. Compare the sheer number of apps that have native Dropbox integration, with those that have OneDrive. While it's far from scientific, nearly everyone I know has a Dropbox account - very few have a OneDrive account.
2. It makes their own OneDrive service seem even more competitive. Why pay for Dropbox when you can buy Office365 for about the same price and get unlimited storage?
That's some wicked marketing right there, guaranteed social sharing - however they should have made it for cats. However, it feels a bit half-assed as I feel they didn't go far enough with the joke.
sounds like a similar (although at least a little bit more achievable) to the "White Australia Policy" that was once one in place, where a language exam was given to 'undesirables' in a language that it was clear the person wishing to emigrate to Australia could not speak.
it's not overly surprising considering the recent Facebook<-> Skype integration and Skype's expansion to the USA (new office in Brisbane, CA).
I'd say it's more like likely a 'strategic partnership' than a buy-out. Having said that though, they're both private companies, so it may not as straight forward as a normal 'merger'
