The decline of the polar bear condemns eleven species to hunger that live off the 7.6 million kilograms of carcasses they leave behind
A study identifies that at least eleven species of vertebrates benefit from this carrion, including Arctic foxes and ravens.
Dr. Helen James’ work on avian extinction helps scientists understand how bird species today respond to threats like human encroachment and environmental change. Abigail Eisenstadt By studying recent ...
A cheetah pouncing on a gazelle. A bear snatching a fish out of the water with its claws. And the most dangerous predator of them all? A human and their pet bird dancing to Gangnam Style. Scientists ...
