National Geographic had this piece on elephants in Mozambique evolving to lose their tusks, being born without them, which is fascinating.

Adventures in writing
April 27, 2017 | Miscellany
I need personal design projects to keep me balanced. I wanted something more substantial, so I decided to create a picture book.
