Just the other day, I found out that there are three Australian bird species (Milvus Migrans, Haliastur sphenurus, and Falco berigora) who deliberately spread wildfires by picking up and dropping burning twigs to round up potential prey. The Aborigines have known this for a long time and called them firehawks.

When I was a tweenager, I read a lot of non-fiction books about dinosaurs. One of them (which I unfortunately lost years ago) had a page-spread about Repenomamus, a metre-long mammal from the Mesozoic that ate baby dinosaurs. I was fascinated by this "role reversal", and it's been one of my favourite prehistoric animals ever since, which culminated in me launching Meek Mesozoic Mammal a few weeks ago.
