Polar Bear eating in seaside.

Till we live in the cities the bears appear to us as nice fluffies, which are fun to observe and need a lot of protection from people around them. The very moment one founds himself in the North, those furry cuties turn into scary monsters, and no one ever wants even to think of encountering with one.

Looking at such mountain of an animal one believes that it is hard to bring down with a single rifle bullet. These are the biggest land predators which do not have natural enemies. They are afraid of no one and behave correspondingly.

A lot of people share their terrible fear which seizes when one comes upon a white monster. Once you see it, every snowdrift and ice floe will appear to be an angry bear. People living within white bear’s habitat literally merge with weapons.

Moment herd of cows turns on a black bear trying to make meal of grazing calf

This is the moment a herd of cows turns on a black bear after it attempted to make a meal of a grazing calf.

The bear had spotted the calf separated from the group of cows on a 2,200 acre ranch in British Columbia, Canada.

But it got more than it bargained for as the mother of the calf and two other cows charged the creature in a bloody battle lasting five minutes.

The enraged bovines took turns to stomp the bear with their heavy front feet, kick out with their back feet and crush it to the ground with their heads.

The hungry bear bit one cow on the leg and left another with cuts and grazes on its face.

But it was forced to give up under the assault and limped away with a bloodied face.

Photographer Wayne Ray captured the fight on his ranch near Fort Fraser.

Kanzi the monkey that can express 450 words

Kanzi the amazing ape who can 'speak' with humans and understands 450 words makes Oprah appearance

He has had countless articles written about him and has even been the subject of a book.

But now Kanzi the ‘talking’ ape has reached the pinnacle of his packed showbiz career – he has been the subject of a feature on Oprah Winfrey’s talkshow.

A 29-year-old bonobo, Kanzi is able to understand and communicate with humans and is believed to understand around 450 words – 30 to 40 of which he uses on a daily basis.

Kanzi has been a celebrity ape since the late 1980s when his astonishing ability to communicate was first discovered.

He lives at the Great Ape Trust in Iowa where expert Dr. Sue Savage-Rumbaugh has been teaching him to ‘speak’ by pointing at symbols on a computer.

He speaks by pressing a symbol on the computer which then repeats the word out loud. Dr Savage-Rumbaugh says that he is even able to put together two-word sentences and shows remarkable invention when creating new phrases.

Oprah Winfrey correspondent Lisa Ling travelled to meet Kanzi at the Trust. On the show she told Oprah that the symbol for ‘flood’ was not on Kanzi's keyboard .

Two billion-year-old riddle of life is solved as 'nature's big bang' is mapped for first time

A two billion-year-old riddle of how the basic building blocks of life were formed has been solved by scientists.

'Nature's big bang' - when two single cells fused into one living organism - has been mapped for the first time by researchers led by a team from Ireland.

Dr James McInerney, senior biologist at the National University of Ireland (NUI) in Maynooth, said the discovery in effect traced humans' oldest ancestor.

'This was a remarkable event, which appears to have happened only once,' Mr McInerney said.

'These two primitive single cell life forms came together in an event that essentially allowed nature to grow big.'

Dr McInerney said the research would help explain what gave rise to all multi-cell organisms we know today - insects, plants, animals and humans.

Remarkable: Scientists have now mapped nature's 'big bang', which is when two organisms fuse together

New list of New Species of Insects and Animals found in the world includingTube-nosed bat which bears striking resemblance to Yoda discovered as scientists find hundreds of new species

A tube-nosed fruit bat with an appearance reminiscent of the Star Wars Jedi Master Yoda has been discovered in a remote rainforest.

The bat, along with an orange spider and a yellow-spotted frog are among a host of new species found in a region of Papua New Guinea.

More than 200 animals and plants were revealed for the first time after two months of surveying in the rugged and little-explored Nakanai and Muller mountain ranges last year.

The findings included two mammals, 24 species of frog, nine plants, nearly 100 new insects including damselflies, crickets and ants, and around 100 spiders.

A white tipped-tail mouse, at least one ant and several of the crickets, or katydids, are so different from other known species they each represent an entirely new genus, the scientists said.

They were uncovered by two scientific teams co-ordinated by Conservation International's rapid assessment programme, in partnership with Papua New Guinea's Institute for Biological Research and conservation organisation A Rocha International.

The teams explored different altitudes of the forest-cloaked Nakanai mountains, which host cave systems and some of the world's largest underground rivers, and the Muller range, accessing the remote areas by plane, dinghy, on foot and even by helicopter.

In the Nakanai surveys, scientists discovered a beautiful yellow-spotted frog found only high up in the mountains, the mouse with the white-tipped tail and the tiny 2cm frog which calls for a mate in the afternoon - unlike most frogs in the area which call at night.

New species of gecko discovered in Cambodian mountain range

Discovery: The Cnemaspis neangthyi gecko has been found in an unexplored part of Cambodia's Cardamom Mountains


Blending perfectly into the green of the tree underneath him, this new species of exceptionally well-camouflaged gecko has been discovered by a team of scientists in a previously unexplored part of Cambodia.

The species, named Cnemaspis neangthyi, was discovered during a reptile and amphibian survey in the rocky foothills of the Cardamom Mountains.

Its unique combination of colour pattern and scale characteristics mean it is almost undetectable when it blends in to the rock crevices and trees on which it lives.
It was found during a reptile and amphibian survey led by Dr Lee Grismer, La Sierra University and conservation charity Fauna & Flora International (FFI).

A statement from the FFI said: 'Cnemaspis geckos have a relatively ancient body plan characterised by a broad flattened head, large forward and upward directed eyes, flattened body, long widely-splayed limbs and long inflected digits that help them to climb trees and hide within crevices.'

There are now 75 species of Cnemapsis known to science, of which 30 live in Southeast Asia.

Monster of the deep: Shocked oil workers catch TWO-AND-A-HALF-FOOT 'woodlouse'

The creature is a cousin of the humble woodlouse (above) who measures a mere 0.6 of an inch

This deep sea creepy-crawly gave oil workers a fright, after the unexpected visitor hitched a ride on a submarine sent from a rig in the Gulf of Mexico.

The beast normally lives 8,500ft under water and this specimen is thought to be the largest giant isopod ever found at this depth.

Questions were raised over its authenticity because of the release date of pictures - April Fool's Day. However experts have been quick to verify the find.
I've seen the pictures, and they are real, and they really do get that big,’ said Craig McClain, assistant director of science for the National Evolutionary Synthesis Center in North Carolina. 'It's definitely not an April Fool's joke.

'It's an isopod,' McClain explained. 'It's like the rolypolys or pillbugs that you find in your garden. It's the same group of animals.

'They're really common in the deep water in the Gulf of Mexico,' he added.

Called the Bathynomus Giganteus, it is a super-sized cousin of the humble woodlouse.

The one in this picture purports to be 2.5ft long - an astonishing figure considering the average specimen if half that length.

Its legs are arranged in seven pairs, and its front two are able to manipulate and bring food to its four sets of jaws. It is a scavenger that feeds on dead whales, fish and shrimp.
The species is abundant in the cold, deep waters of the Atlantic and Pacific oceans and is a good example of deep-sea gigantism.

Many deep-sea crustaceans and invertebrates tend to be larger than their shallow-water counterparts.

It is not yet known whether this is due to the colder temperature, higher pressure or scarcer food resources.

‘I've seen the pictures, and they are real, and they really do get that big,’ said Craig McClain, assistant director of science for the National Evolutionary Synthesis Center in North Carolina. 'It's definitely not an April Fool's joke.

Baby giraffe caught on camera: Astonishing safari photographs show the first moments of a new calf's life in Kenya's Masai Mara

Holidaymakers on safari breaks are increasingly used to seeing spectacular sights as expert tour guides take them deep into the heart of the animal kingdom.

But few tourists have been fortunate enough to witness the heart-warming nature show caught on camera in the Masai Mara last week – the first, nervous seconds of a newly born giraffe’s life.
Tottering precariously on spindly legs, the baby giraffe was spotted just a few minutes after its birth – so soon that it was still coated in amniotic fluid.

Clearly perplexed by its change of circumstances, the calf struggled to drag itself upright as its mother watched it with anxious eyes. But shortly afterwards, it seemed to have mastered the difficult skill of standing, sheltering between its mum’s hind legs and taking stock of its surroundings.
The startling images were captured by award-winning photographer Paul Goldstein, who was guiding a safari group for tour company Exodus when he stumbled upon this post-natal drama.

Despite working in the Masai Mara for 12 years, and leading some 3000 game drives in that period, this was the first time he had encountered such a scene.
"I am lucky enough to guide here [the Masai Mara] a lot,” he explains. “But nothing prepared me for this hour, which left some clients in tears.”
*

The Masai Mara is Kenya’s best known wildlife zone, a 1530-square-kilometre expanse of grassland, savannah and scrub in the south-west of the east African country.
It is a particularly fertile region for wildlife-spotting. Although viewed as an independent entity, the Masai Mara is also a continuation of a wider area.

Together with the Serengeti National Park, immediately over the border in neighbouring Tanzania, it is part of a vast expanse of some 25,000 square kilometres, where animals roam relatively undisturbed.
This plays out most notably in the Great Migration, a phenomenon that sees thousands of gazelle, zebra and wildebeest venture north from the Serengeti in search of fresh pasture every July and August, then make the return journey into Tanzania by the end of October.

However, the Masai Mara is also home to the full quota of the Big Five, the quintet of beasts – buffalo, rhinoceros, elephant, leopard and lion – most in demand with tourists.
And the presence of the latter in particular is bad news for baby giraffes. Although lions tend to concentrate on equine prey like the zebra, giraffes are also on their food list. And while adult giraffes, with their long limbs and potent kick, can often be a match for an overconfident big cat, young calves and juvenile giraffes are easier to pick off.

Hyenas are another threat, happy to tackle young giraffes with their agility and powerful jaws.

In this context, the first weeks of a giraffe’s life are – unsurprisingly – the most precarious, as it battles to come to terms with the perils of existence in a dangerous environment.

Happily for Paul Goldstein and his group of enthusiasts, this particular baby giraffe passed its first tests.

Half a week after this unlikely star said hello to the world in its impromptu photo shoot, the group saw it again – still finding its feet, still visibly unsure of itself, and still – wisely – staying as close to mum as possible. But very much alive.

"The story has a happy ending,” Goldstein countinues. “Three days later, the

Why dolphins don't like to swim with humans

A holidaymaker goes swimming with a dolphin. Crowds of tourists are traumatising wild dolphins in Zanzibar according to scientists



Many of us would love to swim with dolphins but it seems the aquatic mammals don't return the sentiment.

British experts have found that wild dolphins are suffering at the hands of well-meaning tourists eager to dive in alongside them.

A study of the bottlenose species living off the coast of Zanzibar found the animals were experiencing 'incredible' stress from packed pleasure boats.
Lead researcher Per Berggren, from the University of Newcastle, said: 'The current situation in Zanzibar is unsustainable. The local community is dependent on tourism - and therefore the dolphins - but unless the activity is regulated, the animals will leave.

'Our study found that whenever the tourist boats were present the dolphins were very unsettled and spent less time feeding, socialising or resting.

'This has a negative impact, not only on individual animals, but on the population as a whole and long term it could be devastating.

'The problem is that any change needs to be tourist-driven. Many visitors will pay drivers extra in tips to steer their boats in close, herding the dolphins so they can dive right in amongst them. Our message is, keep your distance and put the dolphins first.'

Around 150 bottlenose dolphins live along the south coast of Zanzibar, where dolphin-watching was introduced in 1992.
Tourism replaced traditional hunting practices which were previously endangering the sea mammals.

'Abolishing the hunts was a major breakthrough and dolphin watching offered a humane, sustainable alternative,' said Dr Berggren.

'Unfortunately, without regulation, dolphin tourism brings with it its own challenges.'

Our paradise lost: Revealed, the 492 native species driven to extinction

Under water: Brine shrimp became extinct in 1907, largely as a result of pollution and habitat loss.Under threat: The Kentish plover became extinct in 1928 due to loss of habitat and changes to farming and peticides

It is being called the sixth great extinction.

Nearly 500 species of plant and animal native to England have been wiped out in the past 2,000 years - with most vanishing in the previous two centuries alone.

The roll-call, detailed in a shocking report, includes mammals such as the wildcat and northern right whale, birds such as the great auk and red-backed shrike, and species of butterflies, dragonflies and beetles.

Some creatures, including the bear, were hunted to extinction after the Romans invaded, while others, such as the short-haired bumblebee, were killed off by modern farming techniques during the 1990s.


A handful of the extinct species were unique to England and can never be brought back, the report by Natural England, which advises the Government on environmental issues, warns.

Its audit - the first- ever of native wildlife - also found that a quarter of English species are declining rapidly or threatened.

Dinosaur's oldest relative discovered, which roamed Earth 240million years ago

Scientists have discovered an ancient dinosaur-like creature, that lived 10million years before the oldest known dinosaurs roamed Earth.

They reconstructed an almost complete skeleton of a species called Asilisaurus kongwe from the remains of at least 14 individuals at a sing site in Tanzania.

The 240-million-year-old African find has forced scientists to re-think what they know about dinosaur evolution.
Asilisaurus, whose name means 'ancient lizard ancestor' in Swahili and Greek, lived in the Middle Triassic era.

Measuring three to 10 feet long and weighing up to 4st 7lbs, the creature was dinosaur-like in appearance but in fact belonged to a sister group known as silesaurs.

The relationship between dinosaurs and silesaurs was similar to that between humans and chimpanzees, say scientists.

Polar bear and its cub drift on shrinking ice 12 miles from land ... but is it all it seems?

A forlorn polar bear cub is comforted by its mother as they drift miles from shore on a rapidly shrinking ice floe.

The Arctic-dwelling animals have become an iconic cause for green campaigners, who claim dramatic images such as these prove that global warming is destroying the world.

But despite this image being released today, it was actually taken in August last year, when it is normal for coastal ice to naturally break up and melt.
Environmentalists don't dispute this - but argue that decades of scientific evidence show that sea ice is breaking up earlier each spring and freezing later each autumn.

As a result, summer sea ice has decreased by more than half a million square miles over the last 25 years.
It is thought the mother and her young cub, aged about nine months, had gone out hunting seals and climbed onto the floe to cool down.

The drifting ice shrank to just a few yards wide as it drifted down the Olga Strait of Svalbard, Norway, forcing the bears to huddle in the middle.

Photographer Eric Lefranc, 40, captured the scene while cruising the area in a boat in temperatures of about 5c.

He said: 'As we got closer we could see a polar bear mum and her cub trapped on a little and unstable ice floe. These bears looked very distressed.

'The mum was desperately trying to keep the ice floe stable and to protect her little cub who was scared and moving a lot. Polar bears are usually good swimmers but the ice floe was 12 miles from the nearest coast and drifting away in the strait.

'Some of the members on our trip were in despair. They wanted to take the bears with us and bring them to the nearest land, which was obviously impossible.'

But animal expert and BBC Springwatch presenter Chris Packham today said he believed the sad scene may well have had a happy ending.

He said: 'Being so isolated, their fate may look doomed but I think there will have been a happy ending. Polar bears have four-inch-thick blubber to keep them warm, big paws that act as flippers and waterproof fur - that means they are incredibly well suited to the water.

'An adult can swim up to 50 miles at five or six miles per hour, so the mum here should have no trouble completing the 12 miles back. The cub will struggle more and certainly faces an exhausting swim but I imagine it will have been OK if they paced the journey.

'Cubs usually doggy paddle behind their mum, clutching onto their back, so they are shielded from the current.'

'The biggest threat to these two is actually hyperthermia, as their body temperature could rise and that could kill them if they swim too fast.

'It is likely they have gone out hunting for seals and climbed onto the ice floe to cool down. They have then found themselves drifting, possibly at some speed.'

The polar bear is native largely within the Arctic circle, and their main food source is seals. An adult male can weigh up to 1,500lb and stand 10ft tall. An adult female is about half the size.The discovery of an ancient polar bear fossil suggests the species may have survived at least one period of global warming before.

The jawbone, dated between 110,000-130,000-years-old was discovered on the Arctic island of Svalbard by Professor Olafur Ingolfsson, of the University of Iceland, and Professor Oystein Wiig, of the University of Oslo.

It means polar bears have already survived a global warming that affected the northern hemisphere from 130,000 to 115,000 years ago, when the Greenland ice sheet and the Arctic ice cap were smaller than now.

'We have this specimen that confirms the polar bear was a morphologically distinct species at least 100,000 years ago, and this basically means that the polar bear has already survived one interglacial period,' said Professor Ingolfsson.

'This is telling us that despite the ongoing warming in the Arctic today, maybe we don't have to be quite so worried about the polar bear. That would be very encouraging.'

But Professor Chris Stringer of the Natural History Museum in London said: 'Living through a warm period back then does not mean polar bears are resilient to climate change now.'

The shrew loo: The rare jungle plant that recycles droppings

Shrewd: The animal is caught in the act



It is the ultimate in recycling. Meet Nepenthes Lowii, nature’s own lavatory.

This is the first time the plant has been captured on camera being used by the mountain tree shrew – animals that rely on the plant both for nourishment and as its very own lavatory.

The plant, which is found in Borneo, is the only one in the world that collects the droppings of animals and uses them to produce a sugary substance, which the shrew then eats.

It is definitely a win-win situation for all parties involved.

The plant collects the droppings from the shrew as well as from a variety of birds.

asps used antibiotics millions of years before Fleming discovered penicillin

A humble wasp learned how to use sophisticated antibiotics millions of years before the invention of penicillin, research has shown.

Digger wasps of the family Philanthus, also known as "beewolves", harness beneficial bacteria to manufacture a cocktail of drugs that protect its larvae from infection.

Scientists who made the discovery believe it could assist the development of new agents to combat human "superbugs".

The era of antibiotics began in 1928 when Alexander Fleming spotted how penicillin produced by green mould killed bacteria.

But long before, Philanthus wasps were coating their cocoons with antibiotics to fight off harmful microbes.

The insects not only evolved a method of manufacturing antibiotics, they used them in a highly effective way, said the scientists writing in the journal Nature Chemical Biology.

Just as human experts have learned to do, the wasps combine different drugs that work together to destroy many different organisms.

The German researchers found that beewolves teamed up with a type of bacteria called Streptomyces in a symbiotic relationship that benefited both species.

In exchange for having a home, the bugs produced a cocktail of nine different antibiotics effective against a broad range of harmful bacteria and fungi.

Invading fungal mold and harmful bacteria are major threats to the wasp larvae. Conditions in the warm and humid wasps' nests, which contain large amounts of organic material in the form of prey food, make them breeding grounds for infection.

Streptomyces can keep these potentially dangerous pathogens at bay.

Female beewolves cultivate the useful bugs in specialised antennal gland reservoirs and apply them to the ceilings of brood cells, said the scientists. The wasp larvae, growing in the cells, later take up the bacteria and transfer them to the outside surfaces of their cocoons.

Laboratory tests showed that the beewolves employed an advanced form of "combination medication" using nine antibiotic varieties.

Johannes Kroiss, from the Max Planck Institute for Chemical Ecology in Jena, said: 'A combined treatment with streptochlorin and eight different piericidines we were able to isolate from the cocoon helps to fend off a very broad spectrum of micro-organisms.

'This cannot be achieved with a single substance. This means that millions of years ago, beewolves and their symbionts have already evolved a strategy that is known from human medicine as combination prophylaxis.'

The method exploits the "complementary or synergistic action" of two or more drugs, and is known to help prevent the development of resistant "superbugs", said the researchers.

Co-author Martin Kaltenpoth, who heads a Max Planck research group on "insect-bacteria symbiosis", said: 'We suppose that protective symbioses like the ones between beewolves and Streptomyces bacteria are much more common in the animal kingdom than previously assumed.

'An analysis of the substances involved not only contributes to the understanding of the evolution of such symbioses but could also lead to the discovery of interesting new drug candidates for human medicine.'

Incredible gravity-defying ant that can carry 100 times its body weight

This extraordinary image of an ant carrying 100 times its own body weight has scooped first prize in a science photography competition.

The photo shows an Asian weaver ant hanging upside down on a glass-like surface and holding a 500mg weight in its jaws.

It was captured by Dr Thomas Endlein of Zoology department at the University of Cambridge who was investigating the sticky feet of ants and other insects.
Ants can change the size and shape of the pads on their feet depending on the load they are carrying,’ Dr Endlein said.

‘If they have to carry heavy loads they increase the contact area, and when they need to run they decrease it.’
Dr Endlein added that as well as shedding light on ants' seemingly gravity-defying feats, the research could help scientists develop better glues.
‘The pads on ants' feet are self-cleaning and can stick to almost any type of surface,’ he said.

‘No man-made glue or adhesive system can match this.

‘Understanding how animals can control their adhesive systems should help us come up with clever adhesives in the future.’
He also explained how he enticed the ant to hold on to the weight.

'The ants are very aggressive indeed by nature, so they will try to grab and snatch everything you put close to them,’ he said.

‘Once they grab on to it, they don’t let go as they try to defend their territory.
You can make them even more aggressive by annoying them with CO2 – they become really vicious and really angry.’

The image won first prize in the Biotechnology And Biological Sciences Research Council science photo competition.

Other pictures included a crow using a stick to fish food, a killer whale and a salmon caught in a net.

Dr Endlein won £700 of vouchers for photographic equipment.

'It won first prize because it was a beautiful image and managed to convey complex science,' said the BBSRC.
