By Liz Kimbrough In California’s Monterey Bay, where the vast Pacific Ocean meets lush kelp forests, sea otters, especially the females, are becoming more resourceful. These charismatic marine mammals, known for their playful nature and voracious appetites, are facing new challenges and using tools to overcome them. For generations, southern sea otters (Enhydra lutris nereis) have relied on the abundant urchins and abalone that populate the kelp forests as their primary food sources. These preferred prey items are relatively easy for otters to crack open and provide a rich source of nutrients....

Earlier this month, Malaysia announced plans to gift orangutans to countries that buy its palm oil. Dubbed “orangutan diplomacy,” the strategy aims to mitigate the environmental damage of palm oil production. The commodity is found in over half of supermarket packaged goods from ice cream to lipstick and plantations are a major driver of deforestation in Malaysia. But clearing land for palm oil plantations is destroying orangutan habitats. The southeast Asian country’s proposed orangutan policy is the latest example of “animal diplomacy,” where living animals are used by governments in their i...

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 ...
