the giant crocodile from Crocodile Dundee dies aged 90
https://www.theguardian.com/film/202...e-dies-aged-90

Burt, a saltwater crocodile, was reported to be 5.1m (16ft 8in) in length and 700kg (110st) in weight and had been at Crocosaurus Cove since 2008.

Named after movie star Burt Reynolds, he was captured from the Reynolds River in 1980 and subsequently found by film-makers at a crocodile farm, according to Crocosaurus Cove chief executive Penny Priest.

In Crocodile Dundee, Burt features in a scene where American reporter Sue Charlton (played by Linda Kozlowski) is rescued by Mick Dundee (Paul Hogan) from a crocodile attack. While much of the sequence was shot using models, Priest said: “The scene … was actually filmed using the motions of Burt and him launching out of the water.”

Burt was also used as the model for visual effects for the 2007 killer-croc film Rogue, and in 2018 became Australia’s answer to Paul the octopus, correctly predicting the result of the World Cup final by opting to bite a French flag than a Croatian one with chicken pieces attached.

Khi loài thú xa nhau:

animal divorce?
https://www.theguardian.com/science/...animal-divorce

But after genetic testing techniques were developed, scientists began to realise that birds were not as faithful as previously believed – that social and sexual monogamy don’t necessarily go hand in hand. Mulder’s work on the superb fairywren found that 76% of chicks born in nests were fathered by other males. That astonishing rate of cuckoldry is bested only by the Australian magpie at a rate as high as 82%.

Short-lived species, in contrast, might be more ready to ditch their partner to maximise breeding opportunities. Even so, Sun’s research estimates that the divorce rate in wandering albatrosses is about 10%. (Compare this to the king penguin, which, though sexually monogamous while with a partner, divorces at a rate of about 80%.)

Other factors that might drive animals to divorce – what scientists call mate switching – include a high mortality rate and a skewed sex ratio. Both drive up competition for mates, creating temptation for those of the minority sex to shack up with someone more appealing.

Merci pour une information très intéressante.

European snails may be coming to Australia
https://www.theguardian.com/australi...l-in-good-time

In 2019 the Australian government began a risk analysis on bringing European molluscs into the country for breeding and, eventually, eating.

Now farmers hope that early next year they will finally learn whether importing live garden snails – Cornu aspersum – will be permitted.

C aspersum is the common garden snail found all over Australia, probably brought here on boats more than a century ago. The farmers want to bring over the bigger European version to start breeding programs here.

They would then provide snail meat (the escargot) and snail eggs (caviar) to restaurants.

Texas teenager accused of poisoning rival’s goat
https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/...de-competition

According to an arrest affidavit obtained by multiple outlets, Vanlandingham reportedly confessed to deliberately poisoning the animal, an act that was captured on CCTV footage.
The goat died about 21 hours later after convulsing and showing signs of respiratory distress, documents say.

Vanlandingham confessed to police that she deliberately poisoned the goat because she believed the animal’s owner was “a cheater”, according to the affidavit. She reportedly said it was her second attempt to kill the goat.

Investigators who searched her phone history found that she had searched “how much bleach can kill an animal” and “poisoning pets, what you should know”, People reported. She also allegedly searched “how to clear search history”.

Vanlandingham faces up to two years in prison if convicted of cruelty to livestock animals.

Brigitte Bardot joins campaign to save wild boar
https://www.theguardian.com/environm...save-wild-boar

Élodie Cappé, who runs a riding stables at Chaource, found Rillette, an apparently orphaned piglet, rooting through rubbish near dustbins at her farm in April 2023. She contacted the local authority to report the animal but after she failed to find a sanctuary or park willing to take Rillette off her hands, she built the boar a 1.2 sq km enclosure. Cappé says that, with the nearest neighbours 3km away, the animal is no threat to anyone and has become part of the family.

A threat by the local authorities in the Aube, eastern France, to put down the female boar has spread into an international campaign to save Rillette supported by animal activist and former actor Brigitte Bardot.

Even critics of the campaign admit the buzz has been impressive, with one French YouTuber called Monsieur Seby (903,000 subscribers), writing a song to save the sanglier (boar).

A petition to save Rillette has already been signed by more than 170,000 people across the world. Now locals near Cappé’s farm are planning a silent march next weekend.

In December, Bardot joined the scrap, writing an open letter. “Help! I demand that Rillette be spared. What monsters are demanding she be put down … this little animal has the right to live, indeed it is a duty. She is innocent. We are governed by assassins,” the 60s star wrote.

Male mosquitoes to genetically poison females in Australian research
https://www.theguardian.com/environm...alian-research

“Ideally, what we’re trying to achieve is: a male mosquito mates with a female and then she dies immediately,” he said.
Injecting a new gene into freshly laid mosquito eggs using tiny glass needles was “a very tedious process”, he added.

The method involves genetically engineering males to produce spider and sea anemone venom proteins, which they inject into females during mating, reducing their lifespan.

Weinstein said an ideal solution would be to control the insects without eradicating them, given that mosquitoes were pollinators and an important food source for fish and bats.

She heard he sang a good song
She heard he had a style
And so she flew to see him and listen for a while
And there he was mosquito stranger to her eyes
Strumming her pain with his stinger
Singing her life with his wings
Killing her softly with his dong…

Giant pink slug in NSW national park
https://www.theguardian.com/environm...-national-park

A giant, fluorescent pink slug’s comeback on Mount Kaputar has been mapped by eager citizen scientists.The kaputar slug grows up to 20cm long – outstripping the average human hand – and 6cm wide. The only place it exists in the entire world is on an extinct volcano in NSW’s Mount Kaputar national park.

In 2019 the alpine area was hit by catastrophic bushfires with an estimated 90% of the population killed.

Adopted wild boar Rillette can stay with her owner
https://www.theguardian.com/world/20...ch-court-rules

In a ruling published on Thursday, the Châlons-en-Champagne administrative tribunal ordered the prefecture to reconsider the application to keep the animal and ordered the state to pay Cappe €1,500 in damages.

Found as a tiny piglet near rubbish bins outside a horse farm in Chaource, central France, in April 2023, Rillette has grown into a large sow who runs around with the horses and dogs on the farm.

After early attempts to release her back into the wild failed, farmer Elodie Cappe had Rillette sterilised and vaccinated, provided her with an enclosure and put in several requests with the regional prefecture for authorisation to keep a non-domesticated animal.

The requests were all rejected while local authorities threatened to confiscate or euthanise the animal. Cappe faced potential prison time and a fine of up to €150,000 (£126,000) for “capturing or detaining wild animals”.

Happily ever after…
