It’s like those doomsday cults that have to change the date after each time the world doesn’t end, first they said everyone would drop dead in weeks, then months, I think now they’re claiming that it’s a slow burner like smoking.

Nah, I’ve never been in the monkey house chewing ginger roots, they know this stuff, or work it out, not sure which really.
Not a scientific observation, but the zoo I used to work at often planted medicinal plants in primate enclosures because they use them. I think this has been common in zoos for a long while.
So the issue is that suitable habit is being eradicated and one owl is adapting but the other owl isn’t? Killing the first owl won’t do shit, fix the habitat!
US Fish and Wildlife are a really concerning organisation from an outside POV, I only ever see articles about them when they’re doing mad shit.
Foxes, birds of prey, and if we consider egg predation then basically everything. Rats are a big issue for all seabirds.
They have the same predators in the towns as on the coast, and they’re actually in decline.
I love that they’ve done a study to prove what all zookeepers know. Chimps actually mock each other, like if one chimp has a bad foot and does a limp other chimps will do the limp to take the piss. All the youngsters will pick on older ones that they know can’t or won’t chase them down.
There’s not much DNA available there, and it’s not as easy to get.
There’s actually quite a bit of DNA preserved apparently so it’s possible.
For me, the question should be whether they’re actually a species because currently most of the experts seem to think southerns and northerns are actually not distinct enough.
My local zoo in lockdown had local people take their ‘daily permitted walk’ inside the zoo so that the animals could see someone who wasn’t their keeper. It really helped them get through. I can’t say I disagree, family and friends taking their walk past my house was always a nice treat for me too.
You are allowed to get in the bath while it’s running.
It’s a really pretty fish isn’t it? I’m used to seeing them preserved and the colour doesn’t come across.
