Hot diggity dog! A dog in Jacksonville, Florida, unearthed an extremely old military bomb. Nearby homes were evacuated before the bomb squad removed the ordnance, Knewz.com has learned. Mathew Sims’ dog, “Baby,” was playing in his backyard on Wednesday, March 27, when she unearthed what Sims called a “metallic object” next to his garage. Sims says when he picked it up, he saw immediately that it was a munition and slowly put it back where he’d found it. He told WJXT-TV after recognizing what it was, “Okay is this live? You panic, then you drop.” He added, “You couldn’t tell what it was until y...

She could have competed for a place in the Guinness Book of World Records. But she died first, and her death remains a mystery. Knewz.com has learned the long and short story of an extra-long snake in the Amazon rainforest. "Ana Julia" was found in late February in a river in southern Brazil. Scientists believed it was a species of northern green anaconda they had never seen before. The snake measured 26 feet long. She weighed 440 pounds. And her head was large enough to be human. Dutch researcher and TV host Freek Vonk even dared to join Ana Julia in the Formoso River for a swim. But when res...

By Sarah Brown The lowland forest of El Impenetrable National Park in northern Argentina sprawls across the hot, swampy green of the Gran Chaco biome, home to South America’s largest mammals and thousands of plant species. It’s a critical conservation unit for the protection of one of the planet’s most deforested ecosystems, yet it’s missing an important resident: a female jaguar (Panthera onca). Two-thirds of the Gran Chaco, which spreads across 650,000 square kilometers (251,000 square miles), are in northern Argentina, where just 10 jaguars remain — all of them male. The last female was spo...

The United States Department of Agriculture confirmed Monday, March 25, that cows in at least two states had tested positive for the avian influenza. Knewz.com has learned that this is the first time avian flu has affected cows, and that there is currently an investigation into mostly older dairy cows in Texas, Kansas and New Mexico. The U.S. Department of Agriculture's (USDA) Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service said on March 25 that samples of milk from sick cattle at two dairy farms in Kansas and Texas tested positive for the highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI). There are also co...

A new study of viral genomes reveals that we are more likely to pass viruses to both domestic and wild animals than the other way around. If a virus carried by humans infects a new animal species, the virus might continue to thrive even if eradicated among humans, or even evolve new adaptations before it winds up infecting humans again, Knewz.com has learned. To come up with these findings, researchers at the UCL Genetics Institute at University College, London, analyzed all publicly available viral genome sequences (almost 12 million of them), to reconstruct where viruses have jumped from one...
