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...

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...

A Chinese company has unleashed the latest mechanical marvel designed to combat loneliness and isolation. Introducing: metaDog. Powered by artificial intelligence (AI), the robotic canine companion is programmed to evolve alongside its owner "just like a real dog," Knewz.com has learned. The company behind the invention, Elephant Robotics, describes metaDog as: "A lifelike and interactive robotic dog that's always there to brighten your day," according to its Kickstarter campaign. It was inspired as a solution for people who can't have a real pet for reasons like housing restrictions, allergie...
