Spotted wildcat from Bolivian forest revealed as new species (opens the original)
Read excerpt
A spotted cat from the forests of Bolivia has been confirmed as a new species. The small feline, about the size of a domestic moggy, went under the radar because it was confused with other wild cats that share similar spots and stripes. But DNA studies show the cat is actually in a class of its own, highlighting how much remains unknown about some of the world's most elusive mammals. Scientists hope the discovery will draw attention to the conservation of tiger cats, a group of small wild cats f

Wild dogs defy the odds with record 2,500-mile trek across Africa (opens the original)

The three brothers zigzagged across Zambia, navigating a landscape increasingly shaped by people and avoiding obstacles including major cities. However, other wild dogs tracked with GPS collars
Great Apes kiss and cuddle to keep the peace, says study (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Touching, embracing and kissing before stressful events may be an ancient way of building trust, according to scientists studying the behaviour of our closest ape relatives. Researchers at Durham University studied chimpanzees and bonobos using physical contact to reassure each other ahead of conflicts over food. One of the most surprising findings was that chimpanzees, despite their reputation for aggression, engaged in close contact, including placing fingers in one another's mouths. "Before s
