(Natural News) The watering holes scattered throughout the Andes mountain range of Peru also serve as communication spots for Andean bears. A new study discovered that the bears left messages for each other on the plants near a source of water. Bears are known for their tree-rubbing behavior. They bite, claw, and rub parts of their bodies on […]

(Natural News) Of all the primates, none are more closely related to humans than chimpanzees (Pan troglodytes). In taxonomy, both species are classified as hominins, and studies have shown that they share similar life cycles and underlying biology. The two species get even closer in terms of DNA: The results of a genome sequence in […]

(Natural News) The last five decades saw hundreds of species of frogs, toads, and other amphibians suffer drastic drops in numbers. Close to a hundred species have gone extinct. Researchers attributed the widespread declines and extinction to a ravenous fungal disease called chytridiomycosis. Chytridiomycosis eats the moist skin of amphibians, leaving the animals vulnerable. It wiped […]

(Natural News) Researchers determined the reason for a decline in the numbers of green sea turtles (Chelonia mydas) in Australian waters. They learned that high levels of heavy metals contributed to the deaths of many of these already endangered animals. The Ohio State University (Ohio State) team investigated the health of the green sea turtles […]

(Natural News) In the African island of Madagascar, bats leave their tropical rainforest and descend upon the ricefields cultivated by human farmers to devour plant-eating insect pests. Their organic pest control service may help persuade locals to preserve the forests instead of razing them. Every year, humans cut down one percent of Madagascar’s rainforest cover. They cultivate the cleared land to […]

(Natural News) The humpback whales in the Australian Southern Ocean made such a thorough recovery from extinction that they now face overpopulation issues. There are too many whales and not enough food in the sea, which may lead to a massive die-off in the next decade. Commercial whaling operations brought the local population down to […]

(Natural News) A new study has recently called attention to the prevalence of an infectious disease that has been killing off scores of amphibian life in the United States. According to a recent study conducted by the United States Geological Survey (USGS) which was published in Nature, of the 247 frog die-offs in 43 states between […]

(Natural News) Eleven Asian elephants submerged in a mud pit for three days inside a wildlife reserve in Cambodia were rescued after a major group effort. The rescue of these animals prevented a tragedy for wildlife conservation. Tan Setha, Wildlife Conservation Society (WCS)’s technical adviser for the area said, “These elephants represent an important part […]

(Natural News) Aerial drones are being touted as a much better way to watch over endangered species in the wilderness. U.K. researchers recently suggest sending out drones with thermal-sensing cameras that can spot the well-camouflaged specimens and hidden nests of the European nightjar (Caprimulgus europaeus). While numerous in overall number and still common throughout most of Europe, this species is growing […]

(Natural News) While Democrats have long had an obnoxious obsession with bemoaning things they see as problematic in society like “climate change,” endangered species, and gun violence, they somehow see absolutely nothing wrong with – and actually now promote and celebrate – murdering human life both inside and outside the womb as if this evil […]
