As you may have heard, Motorola has released a new foldable flip phone. It goes by the name of Razr 40 Ultra in some markets, Razr+ in others, and it’s even referred to as the Razr 2023 or Razr 4 in certain areas.

“There are a lot of species out there that are overlooked, and when you get to know them they are just as charismatic and beautiful as the ones we’re aware of,” says Gumbs. According to the EDGE2 metric, our highest-priority mammal should be the mountain pygmy possum, a tiny marsupial that exists in the wild across a few square kilometers of Australia’s Victorian Alps. Of the mammals for which we don’t have good conservation data, the most edgy is the long-eared gymnure, a relative of hedgehogs that’s found mostly in…
