    Elephants treat themselves with medicinal plants, witnesses say (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    African elephants use dozens of different medicinal plants to treat themselves and their families when they are sick. This is the conclusion of a study which interviewed people who live and work alongside the elephants in the Mount Elgon region of Kenya. These particular animals have long intrigued scientists with their extraordinary behaviour - they are known as salt-mining elephants, because they go into caves and scrape the rock with their tusks to extract minerals for their diet. This newly

    Part-human part-mouse brain developed in science breakthrough (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Neutral tone · English

    Read excerpt

    Neuroscientists in the US have successfully adapted mice to have functioning human cells inside their own brains. The researchers hope that potential treatments for psychiatric and neurodevelopmental diseases that only occur in humans could now be tested on the laboratory rodents. While mice with brains that are partly human might sound like a Kafkaesque experiment, the scientists said these are not "mice that think like humans". The animals are genetically engineered - and surgically altered -

    'Miracle' eagle with broken wing soars over Scottish coast (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    A sea eagle that confounded experts by surviving into adulthood with a badly broken wing has been spotted back in the skies above Scotland's west coast. The bird was dubbed the Isle of Mull's "miracle eagle" by charity the RSPB after it fell from its nest as a chick during a storm in 2023. Experts that monitor the island's sea eagle population did not expect the male chick to survive, but it has now been spotted three years on - soaring above the island with the distinctive kink in its wing clea

    Giant whales move into Greenland waters as ice disappears (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    Sea ice has been disappearing from East Greenland, allowing giant whales to take advantage and move into previously inaccessible areas. That is the conclusion of a decades-long study that has recorded - and filmed - hundreds of some of the world's biggest whales including humpbacks, minke and fin whales, feeding in ice-free seas along the coast in summer. None of these marine mammals were historically found here as they have been locked out of the coastal waters by ice. Now, as climate change wa

    We should smile at our dogs - a new scientific study reveals why (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Positive tone · English

    Read excerpt

    Any dog lover will tell you their canine friend picks up on their mood and emotions. Now scientists have worked out exactly what is going on inside a dog's brain when it sees a human - even a complete stranger - smiling or scowling. Their research involved 14 dogs in total who all sat very still in a brain scanner while they were shown pictures of people's faces. Photographs of happy, smiling human faces made an area of the brain that is associated with reward "light up" with activity. This rewa
