☆ The evolutionary twist that could have helped dinosaurs rule Earth
  + stars: | 2024-05-18 | by ( Katie Hunt | ) edition.cnn.com   time to read: +6 min
New research this week is adding fresh detail to one of paleontology’s biggest questions: Did dinosaur blood run hot or cold? Clues from fossilized eggshells and bones have now suggested that some dinosaurs were warm-blooded and others were not. Reinhard Dirscherl/ullstein bild/Getty ImagesMarine scientists have used artificial intelligence to decode previously unknown complexity in the calls of sperm whales. The whales produced a catalog of clicking sounds, which the researchers described as akin to a “phonetic alphabet” for sperm whales. What sperm whales are saying with their clicks remains a mystery to human ears, but understanding the scope of their vocal exchanges is an important step toward linking their calls with specific behavior.

☆ From hunter to guardian: How the ‘Snakeman of India’ found his way into wildlife conservation
  + stars: | 2024-05-16 | by ( Michelle Cohan | ) edition.cnn.com   time to read: +8 min
Whitaker would go on to earn the nickname “Snakeman of India,” and spend more than six decades dedicated to reptile research and conservation. His field work with snakes and crocodiles ultimately led his conservation efforts to help save India’s rainforests. We tell people when they’re working in the field, when they’re doing agriculture, use a stick. Romulus Whitaker teaches the next generation about reptiles at his conservation organization, Agumbe Rainforest Research Station, in southern India. And it’s wonderful to realize that dozens, if not hundreds, of young people have continued to do wonderful work with reptiles.

☆ Photos show the process of collecting snake venom to produce life-saving anti-venom
  + stars: | 2023-12-03 | by ( Elias Chavez | Bethany Johnson | ) www.businessinsider.com   time to read: +1 min
Venom from snakes can cause internal bleeding, attack the nervous system, and even stop the heart. Making anti-venom is an expensive multi-step process yielding life-saving but inaccessible cures. AdvertisementThe World Health Organization reported that between 4.5 and 5.4 million people get bitten by snakes annually. Anti-venom can save the lives of thousands, but anti-venom isn't always widely available. The process of producing anti-venom is a multilayered and dangerous process involving horse blood, high-tech labs, and, of course, handling some of the most toxic snakes in the world.
