A Brazilian biologist used an unusual method to study the biting behaviour of venomous snakes. João Miguel Alves-Nunes from the Butantan Research Centre in São Paulo, Brazil lightly kicked Jararaca lance snakes - a widespread and highly venomous viper species in south-eastern Brazil - over 40,000 times using a specially made protective boot. His findings, published in the journal Scientific Reports, reveal crucial insights into snake bite incidents in the region, which account for a significant portion of the 20,000 poisonings reported annually in Brazil. The snakes were not harmed during the ...

Heading down the path, suddenly two bright blue birds the size of turkeys appear, all aquamarine plumage and bright red beaks. These are two Takahēs, and, nodding like chickens, they creep around, glancing over from time to time. They only head off into the high grass when I tiptoe up towards them and come within 20 metres of them. I'm on a hike in New Zealand, heading along the Heaphy Track with a group and my fellow walkers don't believe when I tell them what I saw later on, as I don't have a picture to prove it. That's because among all the rare and wonderful birds New Zealand boasts, the t...

Have you ever wondered if the practice of life-saving surgery is unique to humans? You may be surprised to discover that ants do it too. Scientists have found that one species, the common, brown Florida carpenter ants which hail from the American state, have medical intelligence. The tiny creatures selectively treat the wounded limbs of fellow ants in their nests, by either cleaning their wounds or amputating damaged limbs and body parts. A new study, published in the Current Biology journal, lays bare the ants’ talent in the medical field. It reveals that the insects were able to tailor their...

Chirping and vulnerable-looking birds can look like they're calling out for your help, but we humans can quickly do more harm than good in these situations. Young birds tend not to be as helpless or orphaned as they may seem, which is why German's Nature And Biodiversity Conservation Union (NABU) advises you to stop and intervene only when it makes sense. Particularly noisy are fledglings that have opened their eyes and have feathers, but have not yet learned to fly. Their parents still feed them insects and use calls to communicate with them. So how can you tell if these little birds need hel...
