🦁 NEW: Researchers tracking #lions and spotted #hyenas in southern #Africa found that the hyenas consistently maintain distance from lions over kilometers of territory rather than merely scavenging near kills. #GPS #data captured male lions moving toward hyenas, reframing the dynamics of the famous #wildlife rivalry.

🦜 NEW: Behavioral biologist Jorg Massen gave 17 Galah #Cockatoos a daily choice to fly free.
The #birds almost always flew, then foraged and raised their crests more. They also showed greater #optimism about finding #walnuts after #flying. Massen sees #flight as an ethological need, tying the #research to #animal welfare that enables their natural behaviors.

#Birdsong and #WhaleSong show patterns similar to #HumanLanguage
by University of Edinburgh
edited by Sadie Harley, reviewed by Robert Egan
"An international team of researchers has uncovered a previously undetected structure in the birdsong of #BengaleseFinches that has the same statistical patterns found in human languages.
"The songbirds—famous for their complex, learned songs—organize their songs using the same mathematical formula found in human speech, a trait that has developed over time and makes complex communication easier to learn and pass from one generation to the next.
"The findings, published in the journal Science Advances, build on the team's previous discovery that #HumpbackWhales also rely on a similar systematic structure.
Language has long been considered a uniquely human trait, with features that mark it as distinct from the communication of all other species.
The findings suggest that some of language's most fundamental building blocks may not be uniquely human after all, but rather a universal feature of learned communication, the researchers say."

💁🏻♀️ TIL: 🐌🥬 Banana #slugs (genus Ariolimax) move only 16.5 cm per minute across their slime, yet serve as important #forest decomposers in California’s #Redwood National Park and #GoldenGate National Recreation Area.
A close-up #video shows one munching greens using its radula, a tongue-like part armed with roughly 25,000 tiny teeth. The #PacificNorthwest #mollusks are also hermaphrodites and #California’s official state slug.

Records of compass heading for long-distance ocean migrators show mid-ocean reorientation.
Using new combined tracking sensors, scientists have uncovered the navigational peculiarities of green sea turtles during transoceanic migrations.
It turns out that the turtles do navigate using two parameters of the Earth's geomagnetic field—its intensity and tilt—but their magnetic map is very rough. During migrations, the reptiles can deviate from their optimal route for long periods due to currents, then gradually adjust their course as the magnetic field changes. According to the authors, this imperfect navigation system has evolutionary advantages: random deviations from their usual routes can lead to the exploration of new breeding grounds and facilitate the dispersal of the species.https://www.science.org/doi/10.1126/sciadv.aed8113

Across an extraordinary variety of species, animals vocalize at a strikingly consistent rate of approximately two to three acoustic events per second (around 2.8 Hz), constrained by the brain's inherent capacity to process auditory stimuli.

🐦🧭 A team at the University of #Bonn found that #pigeons rely on iron-rich #macrophages in their livers to sense #Earth’s magnetic fields.
When researchers deactivated these #cells, the #birds lost their way on overcast days – but navigated fine under sunny skies, confirming a backup magnetic system that kicks in when visual cues aren’t available.

🐋🪞 In a new study, two #beluga #whales at a #NewYork #aquarium showed possible self-recognition in a mirror – one even pressing a mark behind her ear against the reflective surface.
The results place belugas alongside #chimpanzees, #dolphins, #elephants, and maybe #magpies on a short list of species that pass. But scientists disagree on what the test actually proves, and the debate itself raises deeper questions about animal #consciousness.

🐙🛡️ Regenerating a lost limb takes several months which is a significant portion of an #octopus's one-year lifespan.
Scientists observed that males prioritize the safety of the hectocotylus to ensure they remain viable for breeding. This instinct helps them avoid spending a large part of their life waiting for a critical organ to regrow.
