In the stands, the television broadcast captured something strange: images showing hundreds of locusts on the seats and on the clothes in the stands of the King Abdul Aziz Stadium on Matchday 17 of the Saudi Professional League.

This is not the first time something similar has happened during a match involving the Portuguese star: prior to the final of Euro 2016 between France and Portugal, a swarm of moths invaded the Stade de France and one of them even landed on Cristiano's forehead.

World’s oldest European hedgehog discovered in Denmark
https://www.theguardian.com/environm...in-denmark-aoe

The male hedgehog lived near the town of Silkeborg in the centre of Denmark.

“I cried tears of joy that I was holding an individual that lived for 16 years. That’s really good news for conservation. Under the right conditions, hedgehogs can live for 16 years – it’s amazing. All my colleagues were laughing at me because they thought I was being so emotional,” said Dr Sophie Lund Rasmussen, from the Wildlife Conservation Research Unit (WildCRU) at Oxford University, who led the Danish Hedgehog Project that discovered Thorvald.

The previous record-holder was thought to be a nine-year-old female hedgehog in Ireland, identified by researchers in 2014.

The abandoned cubs were brought in just a few days apart to the Oakland zoo, after wildlife officials realized they had been separated from their mothers. They have since forged a close bond, racking up millions of views on the Oakland zoo’s social media pages where viewers watch them cuddle and wrestle together.

“We couldn’t believe she could even walk in her condition,” says Herman, adding that the vets assign a body score to animals, with 10 being obese and 1 being emaciated – and Hazel was clearly a 1. “She was literally skin and bones, and needed a blood transfusion as soon as she arrived.”

Holly also had no parents around and was rescued in late December, when she was about three or four months old.

Thailand’s missing monkeys: hundreds of rhesus macaques vanish from a temple
https://www.theguardian.com/world/20...-from-a-temple

Tham Pha Mak Ho temple in north-east Thailand has been home to crowds of rhesus macaques. Every morning monks feed them with rice and fruit, while tourists give them bananas and seeds bought from the local street vendors.

But over recent months, local people began to notice that when they came with offerings of food, fewer monkeys seemed to greet them. Local media reported claims that hundreds seemed to have disappeared from the temple in Loei province.

The trafficking of monkeys, primarily long-tailed macaques, has become a growing concern in the region since Covid. In March 2020, China suspended the export of macaques, disrupting the supply of monkeys to laboratories in the US and creating a shortage that traffickers have sought to exploit, say animal rights experts.

Bear-watching: wildest adventure holidays in Europe
https://www.theguardian.com/travel/2...ing-and-beyond

A six-and-a-half-hour train ride from Helsinki, the town of Kajaani is the unofficial capital of Finland’s Lakeland region.

The Bear Centre is located in a wilderness area called Vartius, just over a mile from the Russian border (where many of the bears roam in from).

Then, by night, everyone follows a guide to decamp to their own personal hide and watches the bears emerge from the trees (stay for just one night or several). June and July bring long hours of daylight for photo ops; August and September offer the best chance to see mothers with their cubs; and October brings with it early snow. Wolverines and wolves often put in an appearance too.

shark feeding frenzy
https://www.theguardian.com/environm...rman-louisiana

According to Noaa Fisheries, part of the US National Oceanographic and Atmospheric Administration, sharks “can go up to approximately six weeks without feeding” before entering an “eating phase”.

Sharks, the agency says, “will eat anything”. Objects found in sharks’ stomachs have included “tires, license plates, a fur coat, a chicken coop and even a full suit of armor.

“But generally, sharks are omnivorous, which means usually they just eat meat and plants. If there is not an abundant supply of meat in the area, they will resort to eating sea vegetation.”

A Florida man found a massive clam on the beach and was going to turn it into chowder. It turned out to be more than 200 years old.

A Florida man and his family found a gigantic clam at Alligator Point, Florida. They were planning to cook it but realized it was more than 200 years old.

Blaine Parker told the Tallahassee Democrat that when he found the clam over Presidents' Day weekend, he thought it was just big enough for two servings of chowder.

"We were just going to eat it, but we thought about it a while and figured it was probably pretty special. So, we didn't want to kill it," Parker told the Tallahassee Democrat.

Parker, a member of the volunteer group AmeriCorps, ended up bringing the clam to the Gulf Specimen Marine Lab in Panacea, Florida. Parker is also a specimen collector for the lab, the Tallahassee Democrat reported.

The lab realized Parker's find was a six-inch, 2.6-pound clam, estimated to be more than 214 years old.

Realizing how old it was, Parker named the clam "Aber-clam Lincoln".

"Age can be calculated by the number of layers on the shell, with each layer representing a year; with this, Blaine counted 214 layers on Aber-clam Lincoln's shell, meaning this clam was born in 1809, the same year as Abraham Lincoln, hence its name!" the lab wrote in a February 21 post on Facebook.

The lab added that most ocean quahog clams weigh around half a pound. This makes Aber-clam Lincoln five times the weight of an average clam.

In 2006, scientists found a 507-year-old Quahog clam that they nicknamed "Ming" — after estimating that it was alive in 1499, during the Ming Dynasty in China.

The Tallahassee Democrat separately reported on February 28 that Parker had sent Aber-clam Lincoln back to his home under the sea. Parker released the clam back into the Gulf of Mexico about a week after he found it at Alligator Point, Florida.

The Gulf Specimen Marine Lab did not immediately respond to Insider's request for comment.

Thai coconut monkey labour
https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/...abour-campaign

Several companies have stopped selling some Thai coconut products over recent years after campaigning by Peta, which said that it had investigated Thai coconut farms and found chained monkeys that were forced to spend long hours climbing trees and picking coconut. Abuse of primates was “rampant”, the group has said.

Estimates regarding the numbers of macaques picking coconuts on farms vary, with some suggesting up to 3,000 pig-tailed macaques are involved, said Nijman.

In 2021, Thailand exported 236,323 metric tonnes of coconut milk, worth 12,800 million baht, according to the department of agriculture. It has begun issuing certificates to farms to verify that they are monkey-free to address concerns over animal cruelty.
