my cat :: Article Creator Cat Demanding Her 1am Snack From Sleeping Owners Delights Viewers A cat called Ash has left the internet in stitches after a video of her middle-of-the-night shenanigans went viral on social media. In a viral pet cam clip, shared on TikTok on Thursday by her owner under the username Laurenjenel12, Ash can be seen jumping on her owners' bed at 1:20 a.M. As soon as she realized her food dispenser wasn't working, she tried to wake them up in every possible way, for hours, with taps, bites and meows, in order to get her snack. The hilarious post comes with a caption that says: "Pov: you accidentally unplugged your cat's automatic feeder, so she didn't get her 1 am snack." Followed by: "It took ONE WEEK for her to figure out that she gets a snack in the middle of the night." And further down in the comments the owner also joked: "I'm pretty sure she would have kept pulling my skin...

agility :: Article Creator Meet The New Face Of Agility Robotics' Digit There's a broad range of thought on robot faces. It's a surprisingly difficult aspect to get right for some very good reasons. For one thing, we're hardwired to recognize and intuit faces, so small changes make big differences. For another, effectively they're a window toward understanding a person or animal's mood, feelings, intentions, etc. Make them too simple and you lose a lot of important nuance. If they're too complex and lifelike, however, you've just punched a one-way ticket to uncanny valley. Image Credits: Agility Robotics Once you begin to understand these sorts of things, it's clear why a lot of companies have spent a lot of money consulting behavioral scientists and employing animators from places like Pixar and DreamWorks. There are several studies out there investigating the science behind robot faces and what varieties are best ...

waterbuck :: Article Creator Babanango: South Africa's Big New Game Park The Result Of A Dramatic Transformation Five years ago, the river valleys and high plains that are now safeguarded by the Babanango Game Reserve in the KwaZulu Natal region of South Africa were virtually devoid of wildlife after decades of cattle grazing and unrestrained hunting. "All the big animals had been killed and most of the smaller ones had run away," says Musa Mbatha, the reserve's conservation and wildlife manager. But in 2018, a partnership between local Zulu communities, the provincial government and a private conservation group hatched an ambitious plan to transform Babanango back into a wildlife wonderland by creating the largest game reserve established in South Africa since the end of apartheid.

yak :: Article Creator Yak Milk Consumption Among Mongol Empire Elites For the first time, researchers have pinpointed a date when elite Mongol Empire people were drinking yak milk, according to a study co-led by a University of Michigan researcher. By analyzing proteins found within ancient dental calculus, an international team of researchers provides direct evidence for consumption of milk from multiple ruminants, including yak. In addition, they discovered milk and blood proteins associated with both horses and ruminants. The team's results are published in Communications Biology. The study presents novel protein findings from an elite Mongol Era cemetery with exceptional preservation in the permafrost. This is the first example of yak milk recovered from an archaeological context. Previous research indicates that milk has been a critical resource in Mongolia for more than 5,000 years. While the consumption of cattle, sheep, goat a...

gopher tortoise :: Article Creator Environmental Groups Are Suing The Federal Government Over Slowing Protections For Gopher Tortoises Published March 22, 2023 at 4:05 PM EDT Listen • 1:09 Environmental groups say they will sue the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service for failing to protect the gopher tortoise. Elise Bennett, Florida director of the Center for Biological Diversity, based in St. Petersburg, said federal environmental regulators had previously found the tortoises required protection, but now say they will not be listed as a threatened or endangered species. "The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service made some really bleak projections, including that, by 2100, we could lose nearly three quarters of remaining gopher tortoise populations," Bennett said. "That is an incredibly huge loss, especially considering that the species has been in decline for decades now." Click here to view the U.S. Fish and Wildlife...
