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...

New eye-tracking research sheds light on how dogs process and predict the actions of both human and non-human agents, demonstrating that they prioritize the location of an action over the identity of the object involved. This suggests a unique aspect of canine social cognition, where spatial information plays a crucial role in their understanding of others’ behaviors. The findings were published in the journal Animal Cognition. Previous research has suggested that humans use their own motor experiences to interpret other people’s movements. This ability develops early in life and is seen in in...
