In 2020, Madagascar surpassed 365 described frog species, so EVERY DAY in 2021 I am tweeting about a different #FrogOfTheDay from Madagascar! To make it easier to follow along on our tour of the #MadagascarFrogs, I will QT each species into this thread.

We were in one of the redirected flights after this incident. Very tense on board, but we were in excellent hands. Big props to the crew and pilots for their caution and professionalism @airfrance
Air France has Suspended any further Flights over the Red Sea, after a Pilot spotted a “Luminous Object” at High Altitude earlier today during a Routine Flight. The Object is believed to have likely been a Ballistic Missile fired by the Houthis in Yemen, with several Flights being Diverted or Redirected following the Incident.

@gaghyogi49 @TrekCore The sounds from our paper are under a Creative Commons license, so I’m pretty sure they could be used as genuine sound effects in a future episode. Just saying, @StarTrek @ParamountPics If you need more, hit me up 😉����
