otters attack British man in Singapore park
https://www.theguardian.com/world/2021/dec/10/i-thought-i-was-going-to-die-otters-attack-british-man-in-singapore-park
Quote:
Spencer told The Straits Times he was approaching the gardens’ entrance on 30 November when he spotted about 20 otters crossing a path in front of him.
The animals were moving quietly but “went crazy” after another man ran towards them, Spencer told the paper. The runner was able to avoid the animals but Spencer was not as lucky.
He said they lunged at him, biting his ankles, legs and buttocks and causing him to fall over.
Spencer’s friend, who was about “15 paces” away from him, ran up screaming in a bid to scare away the otters.

return of wild bison to UK
https://www.theguardian.com/environm...-wild-bison-uk
The crow brought the messageQuote:
The rangers will manage the first wild bison to roam in the UK for thousands of years when four animals arrive in north Kent in the spring of 2022. The bison are Europe’s largest land animal – bulls can weigh a tonne – and were extinct in the wild a century ago, but are recovering through reintroduction projects across Europe.
To the children of the sun
For the return of the buffalo
And for a better day to come…

Con sâu làm rầu plastic:
Bugs across globe are evolving to eat plastic
https://www.theguardian.com/environm...ic-study-finds
Sâu ơi ta bảo sâu nàyQuote:
The explosion of plastic production in the past 70 years, from 2m tonnes to 380m tonnes a year, had given microbes time to evolve to deal with plastic, the researchers said.The study, published in the journal Microbial Ecology, started by compiling a dataset of 95 microbial enzymes already known to degrade plastic, often found in bacteria in rubbish dumps and similar places rife with plastic.
Nearly 60% of the new enzymes did not fit into any known enzyme classes, the scientists said, suggesting these molecules degrade plastics in ways that were previously unknown.
The first bug that eats plastic was discovered in a Japanese waste dump in 2016. Scientists then tweaked it in 2018 to try to learn more about how it evolved, but inadvertently created an enzyme that was even better at breaking down plastic bottles. Further tweaks in 2020 increased the speed of degradation sixfold.
Another mutant enzyme was created in 2020 by the company Carbios that breaks down plastic bottles for recycling in hours. German scientists have also discovered a bacterium that feeds on the toxic plastic polyurethane, which is usually dumped in landfills.

new species with more than 1,000 legs discovered in Western Australia

The first ever millipede with more than 1,000 legs been discovered in Western Australia.
The species, which is the first “true” millipede, has 1,306 legs and was found up to 60 metres underground in a mining area in the Eastern Goldfields region of WA.
It breaks the previous record set by Illacme plenipes, which is found in central California and has up to 750 legs.
In 2013, a Portuguese millipede infestation was reportedly responsible for a train collision in Perth.

According to Johnson, the crocodile is named Boofhead by locals because “he’s got a wide, ugly head on him”.
“He’s just a little local sort of celebrity,” Johnson says.
“It is crazy the power these things have, they are to be respected and admired.”

Monkeys blamed for hundreds of puppy deaths
https://www.theguardian.com/world/20...tured-in-india
Con cầy mà trèo cây caoQuote:
Villagers in Lavool village, in the Beed district of Maharastra, reported the langur monkeys after they witnessed them engaging in what seemed to be targeted killings of the neighbourhood puppies by snatching them and taking them up to deadly heights.
The villagers claimed the monkeys were carrying out “revenge killings” after dogs had killed an infant monkey.
The monkeys were reported to have left puppies on roofs and in trees where they would die from lack of food and water, and in other incidents they would be thrown down and killed. The locals said the monkeys had been so thorough that there were no puppies left in Lavool village.

Dog saved by surgery after eating six packets of chocolate coins

Con chó khóc đứng khóc ngồiQuote:
Hugo, a six-year-old Staffordshire bull terrier, helped himself to the chocolate treats – poisonous to dogs – when owner Amie popped to the shops.
Hugo was assessed, sedated and had an X-ray, which revealed his stomach was full of foil, needing surgery to remove it.
“Foods including chocolate, mince pies, onions, raisins, grapes, some nuts, sage-and-onion stuffing and Christmas cake can all be harmful and should be kept safely out of paws’ reach.”

peacock butterfly

Vườn đông công bướm đi về mặc ai…Quote:
The butterfly was beneath a log and, its sleep interrupted, flashed its wings bearing vivid blue and maroon eyespots. Most strikingly, it also emitted a series of loud hisses that viewers judged like the rustling of petticoats or a whispered “pissaff”.
It may have been a fairy casting a spell but it was also a classic example of deimatic behaviour, a sudden bluff from a defenceless animal to momentarily unsettle a predator.

The three-year-old’s family reported him missing on Friday evening after searching Hermannsburg, south-west of Alice Springs, for several hours.
Northern Territory police joined the search late on New Year’s Eve and an officer found the injured preschooler about 9am on Saturday. He was taken to the local health clinic but died before he could be treated.
Two dogs were being held awaiting forensic examination, Sharma said. The animals were pet dogs often called “camp dogs” and their owner was cooperating with investigators.
