A Massachusetts man visiting Wyoming's Grand Teton National Park on Sunday, May 19, was seriously injured in a grizzly bear encounter, prompting the closure of a mountain, park officials said.

The man was transported to St. John’s Hospital, where he was said to be ...

Female dogs can individually recognize and react to their offspring's whining, a recent study led by Mathilde Massenet from the French University of Saint-Etienne found. The study published by the US National Academy of Sciences analysed 4,400 recordings of 220 whimpering beagle puppies from 40 litters. The recordings were made in four breeding centres in France. The researchers employed small speakers to play the whimpering sounds of both their own puppies and other beagle pups to determine whether the mother dogs recognized their own offspring. The mothers demonstrated a stronger reaction to...

Wildlife officials in Nevada say that two DNA tests on multiple samples collected from a trio of suspected wolves earlier this year conclusively show the animals are in fact coyotes. The Nevada Department of Wildlife said that a helicopter crew contracted for a moose collaring project in the mountains in the northeastern part of the state back in March reported seeing three animals that appeared to resemble wolves. A wolf sighting would be remarkable as the state does not have a wolf population, and sightings of lone wolves wandering in from surrounding states are extremely rare. NDOW biologis...

Despite efforts to curb wildlife trafficking worldwide over the past 20 years, more than 4,000 species are still affected, a new report reveals. The majority of them are endangered. The World Wildlife Crime Report, released by the UN Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC) today, says this inflicts “untold harm upon nature”, including driving some rare species to extinction. The impact of wildlife crime stretches far beyond the direct threat to species, devastating delicate ecosystems, removing a key source of income for nature-dependent communities, and undermining the Earth’s capacity to mitigate ...

Scientists studying the sperm whales that live around the Caribbean island of Dominica have described the basic elements of how they might be talking to each other for the first time. They hope the research could one day help better protect them. Like many whales and dolphins, sperm whales are highly social mammals and communicate by squeezing air through their respiratory systems to make strings of rapid clicks that can sound like an extremely loud zipper underwater. The clicks are also used as a form of echolocation to help them track their prey. Scientists have been trying for decades to un...

For the first time, researchers have identified an effective treatment for African spitting cobra bites, which currently lead to severe injuries and disfigurements including limb loss and amputation. Knewz.com has learned spitting cobra venom rapidly causes dermonecrosis, which destroys the skin, muscle and bone near the site of the snake bite. A bite from an African spitting cobra can lead to the loss of the whole limb or necessitate amputation in extreme cases. There is currently no treatment for severe local envenoming from spitting cobras. Antivenoms only exist for other snake species, and...
