Unfortunately, in the science of language, this does not sound particularly raunchy but rather like a rational decision: “A rare species such as the Chinese Pond Heron might choose heterospecific mates rather than abandoning all chances of reproduction.” How efficient. How surprising.

Sounds like she watched a harsh video. Former Baywatch star and model Pamela Anderson has accused one of India's most prestigious research centres of animal cruelty, urging it to retire decades-old test monkeys and adopt humane practices. Her letter to the Indian research facility is pretty distressing.

If you have always wondered what the minimum anesthetic concentration for isoflurane and sevoflurane for the Crested Serpent-eagle is, science has an answer. While serpent means large snake, the Crested Serpent-eagle also eats frogs, as this video shows. This included recording a total of 77,760 minutes of video.

As I frequently mention, science is quite wonderful. After not a single reader made any positive comments on my video of a White’s Thrush drinking, of course, my reaction is to just post a link to another such video. You pervert. Only if the sparrowhawk is absent the siskins can afford to get fat.

Geophagy, the intentional consumption of soil by vertebrates, has long been documented in a number of bird and mammal species – including wide-spread use by humans – which consume soil to increase absorption of certain minerals not naturally occurring in the local diet. That’s right – birds eating clay. Wicked, right?

So assuming that these results are transferable to humans, parents should feed their offspring regularly (first finding) but restrict themselves to one child (second finding). But then, maybe not – it seems to be the nature of science that the more you know, the more you want to know.
