Authorities confirm bird flu in fox and suspected case in dolphin
By Jarrod Whittaker

A fox in Victoria's south-west has died from H5 bird flu and authorities suspect the virus is responsible for the death of a dolphin.

🕷️ A jumping spider that nurses its young with milk — 4x the protein of cow's milk

Female Toxeus magnus spiders secrete a milk-like fluid from their egg-laying opening for nearly 40 days after hatching. Newborns drink nothing else for the first 20 days and die within 11 days if the mother's milk supply is blocked.

Even after spiderlings learn to hunt at day 20, they keep nursing alongside their own kills for another three weeks. Daughters are allowed to return to the nest after reaching adulthood, but adult sons are attacked if they try.

This subverts the long-held assumption that lactation and extended milk-provisioning are exclusive to mammals.

Zoo's baby chimpanzee to be sent elsewhere after mother's rejection
By Katrina Beavan

Zookeepers had to hand-rear baby Cassie after the chimpanzee was dropped by its mother hours after birth, breaking its leg. After failed reunion attempts the zoo said it's in the primate's best interest to send it elsewhere.

Rare snail that gives birth through neck returns from brink of extinction
By Sarah Gerathy

About 1,000 Campbell's keeled glass snails are settling into their new home in the crevices of a secluded valley on Norfolk Island, after being bred back from the brink of oblivion.

Craspedacusta sowerbyi is a tiny, two-millimeter #invasive #jellyfish species that uniquely inhabits freshwater ecosystems. Aided by climate change, it is rapidly spreading across global water bodies and threatening local aquatic life.

Swarm behaviour (Zoology 🦥)

Swarm behaviour, or swarming, is a collective behaviour exhibited by entities, particularly animals, of similar size which aggregate together, perhaps milling about the same spot or perhaps moving en masse or migrating in some direction. It is a highly interdisciplinary topic. As a term, swarming is applied particularly to insects, but ...

Animal migration tracking (Zoology 🦥)

Animal migration tracking is used in wildlife biology, conservation biology, ecology, and wildlife management to study animals' behavior in the wild. One of the first techniques was bird banding, placing passive ID tags on birds legs, to identify the bird in a future catch-and-release. Radio tracking involves attaching a small radi...
