salamanders are :: Article Creator Nature News: Why 2023 Is Summer Of Salamanders And What You Should Know About Them This seems to me to be the summer of the salamanders. I suppose this is true for most water-loving things-fungi, slugs, and many of the vegetables in my garden that I've apparently always under-watered. But I've picked salamanders to focus on because this is the first year in a long time that my expectations for them have been met. A long time ago, I read a statistic about the common red-backed salamander. These are the little squiggly ones that live under rotting logs and in the leaf litter of most New England forests and look a lot like earthworms at first glance. Red-backed salamanders are thought to be the most abundant salamander in our area, in fact, the most abundant vertebrate (vertebrates are things like mammals, birds, reptiles and amphibians) in Northeastern forests.  Various studies have reported between three and e...

family mobile veterinary clinic :: Article Creator This Vet Makes House Calls For the most part, Whiskers2Tails is a one-woman show.  No, it won't be appearing on stage any time soon. It's a mobile veterinary clinic run by Aimee Heidt, who is the veterinarian, receptionist, marketer and custodian.  But for the Epstein family, Heidt is first and foremost a godsend. Chessie, their 20-year-old long-haired calico cat, was diagnosed with end-stage renal disease, or kidney failure. The treatment, subcutaneous fluids, requires frequent and semi-technical care. "We never thought this cat would be treatable because she couldn't go back and forth to the vets," said owner Phylys Epstein, "Although she's a wonderful kitty at home, she's hostile at the vets."

python snake types :: Article Creator King Cobra Swallows Python In 15 Mins Following 7-hour Battle In Mandai, Awes Wildlife Photographers A group of wildlife photographers got very lucky as they were able to witness first-hand how a king cobra fought a python and won. But it was not just about being at the right time and right place, as it also took patience and team work from the photographers. Daryl Tan told Mothership that his friends, Rovena Chow and Alfred Mai, saw a king cobra biting a reticulated python by the side of a nature trail in Mandai when they were out searching for owls with their group on Thursday afternoon, Sep. 21. The cobra was about 4m, while the python was about 3m. Photo courtesy of Alfred Mai(@birds_cupids/Instagram). Photo courtesy of Alfred Mai (@birds_cupids/Instagram).

super hypo leopard gecko :: Article Creator Geckos Can Regenerate Parts Of Their Brain, Which Could Help Us Heal Our Own LIZARD BRAINS. We knew that they can regenerate their tails (and spinal cords). But it turns out that geckos can regenerate parts of their brain, too, according to researchers from the University of Guelph. That's cool for geckos, but it could be cool for us, too; it could signal a new area of research for the treatment of human brain injuries and degeneration. The researchers published their study last month in the journal Scientific Reports. Because geckos can regenerate various parts of their bodies, the researchers suspected there might be something interesting going on in gecko brains, too. So they injected leopard geckos with a chemical label they could then detect within the DNA of any newly formed cells. This allowed them to see new cells as they turned up in the geckos' brains. They found many more of them t...
