India’s only ape safely crosses Assam railway on special canopy bridge after nearly a year

India’s only ape safely crosses Assam railway on special canopy bridge after nearly a year

Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma shared a video from Hollongapar Gibbon Wildlife Sanctuary showing an endangered Hoolock Gibbon safely crossing a railway track using a specially designed canopy bridge. Installed nearly a year earlier, the netted rope structure lets arboreal animals move above ground without touching trains or vehicles. Sarma called it a “small but significant” example of science-led conservation, noting the islanded forest movement issues primates face when connectivity is disrupted.

Researchers say the preservation offers fresh clues about how the animal lived, what it ate, and what may have happened in its final moments.

Armadillo ice cream cone holes explained and how to stop midnight lawn drilling

Armadillo ice cream cone holes explained and how to stop midnight lawn drilling

Homeowners are reporting tiny cone-like holes in their lawns, and wildlife experts say they’re from armadillos foraging for insects after dark. The animals dig shallow burrows in soft, irrigated soil, often staying unseen because they’re nocturnal. Since fencing large areas is impractical, recommended fixes focus on trapping and removal, plus reducing watering to make yards less attractive over time.

Owl Box for Pest Control What Most Homeowners Miss About Attracting Barn Owls

Barn owls can naturally cut pests, but simply installing a nest box won’t attract them reliably. Wildlife experts say success depends on abundant prey, open hunting areas, and a genuinely safe yard. Even when owls arrive, they’re gradual residents—homeowners must keep maintaining conditions, including avoiding rodenticides, to support long-term nesting and hunting.

Solar farms are confusing birds and bats with lake like glare scientists warn of deadly pollution

Solar farms are confusing birds and bats with lake like glare scientists warn of deadly pollution

Scientists say solar farms may be harming migrating birds and bats by using reflective surfaces that mimic lakes. This creates a phenomenon called polarized light pollution, which can disorient wildlife, draw them toward risky areas, and increase collisions. The research urges smarter solar designs and better site planning so clean energy expansion doesn’t come at the cost of biodiversity.

Why 30000 red sided snakes gather at Manitoba dens every spring for mating

Every spring in Manitoba, more than 30,000 red sided garter snakes emerge from the Narcisse Snake Dens to reproduce. The gathering is not migration or hunting but mating: males cluster around females in a swirling “mating ball” guided by chemical signals. Afterward, the snakes disperse for the off season, returning reliably year after year.

Texas Heat Makes Snakes Change Their Timing Every Day

Texas Heat Makes Snakes Change Their Timing Every Day

Snakes don’t keep a fixed timetable—temperature does. In Texas-like heat, they’re more active in the evening, while cooler conditions push daytime movement. Researchers say their behavior follows environmental cues rather than an internal clock, which is why sightings can feel random. Knowing this shift can better explain when encounters are most likely.
