Overview Rolls-Royce is known for limousine-like sedans such as the Ghost and Phantom, but the rich and famous—much like the rest of the car-buying world—aren't as into the three-box shape as they once were. To appease this sector of megawealthy patrons, Rolls came up with the Cullinan, the pinnacle of the SUV species. This mammoth machine gets its name from a gigantic diamond, which is appropriate considering the ute's overwhelming opulence and ultra-expensive price. The back seat feels as spacious as a living room, and the Spirit of Ecstasy hood ornament broadcasts the size of the owner's bank account. The Rolls tries to justify its premium with a velvety V-12 engine and an utterly tranquil ride. But while buyers can personalize the cabin with bespoke options, there's some questionable content, including an inelegant digital gauge setup and an inflexible rear bench seat. Still, the 2021 Cullinan is nothing short of a rolling palace that pampers riders and amazes onlookers.

El diseñador de moda y artista visual nacido en Ruanda Eli Gold se encuentra entre sus diseños en su estudio en Ciudad del Cabo, Sudáfrica. (Foto: Reuters) El diseñador de moda y artista visual nacido en Ruanda, Eli Gold, abandonó su casa cuando tenía 13 años cuando su país fue devastado por una guerra civil y un genocidio, un viaje que lo llevó a través de varios estados africanos. Gold vivió en Tanzania, Burundi y Malawi, entre otros, después de dejar Ruanda, antes de llegar a Sudáfrica, donde tiene su base. ANUNCIO PUBLICITARIO Ahora, Gold, de 30 años, expresa su amor por el continente a través del arte y la moda. “Al vivir en esos lugares llegué a entender de qué se trata África y pude conocer diferentes culturas… la inspiración que utilizo en mi creatividad proviene de diferentes culturas africanas”, dijo Gold. ANUNCIO PUBLICITARIO “Vengo de una nación que estaba rota y ahora nos estamos arreglando y reuniéndonos mejor que nunca”, compartió el diseñador de moda nacido en Ruanda. (Foto: Reuters) Su compañía, Masa Mara, presentó sus últimas gamas de moda en un evento en Johannesburgo el martes para celebrar el Día de África, que conmemora la fundación de la Organización de la Unidad Africana. Los modelos Catwalk mostraron su colección de coloridos estampados africanos llamada “La migración es hermosa, destruye todas las fronteras”, que es un llamado a abrazar la migración y, como gran parte del trabajo de Gold, se inspiró en sus propias experiencias. ANUNCIO PUBLICITARIO “Quería mostrar que si nos unimos, nos entendemos y nos abrazamos, podemos tener una hermosa África unida”, dijo sobre su trabajo. “Siempre digo, si las prendas pueden corresponder y mostrar armonía y unión, las personas también podemos hacer eso”. El oro también se conoce como Nyambo MasaMara. Nyambo, que significa “vaca ruandesa de cuernos largos”, es un nombre que tomó después de peinarse en forma de cuernos de toro. Gold, de 30 años, expresa su amor por el continente a través del arte y la moda.

Su exposición Gift of Life también combina arte visual y diseño con movimiento. “Vengo de una nación que estaba rota y ahora nos estamos arreglando y reuniéndonos mejor que nunca”, dijo Gold. “Cuando me fui (Ruanda) era un país del que no estaba orgulloso de ser parte”, dijo Gold. "Pero cuando volví (en 2017), realmente me enorgulleció ser ruandesa".

(CNN)The 61 human skeletons unearthed in the Nile Valley in the 1960s in what is now Sudan have long been regarded as the earliest evidence of organized warfare between humans. The remains uncovered at Jebel Sahaba, which are more than 13,000 years old, show injuries sustained as a result of brutal and intense violence -- mainly puncture wounds from weapons such as spears and arrows. However, a new study published in the journal Scientific Reports that reexamined the remains using the latest scientific methods suggests that the group were not killed in a one-off massacre as previously thought. More likely they were killed during sporadic and recurrent violence that took place over several years and was probably triggered by major climatic and environmental changes during the period. Isabelle Crevecoeur (right) and Marie‑Hélène Dias‑Meirinho (left) study the Jebel Sahaba human remains in the Egypt and Sudan department of the British Museum. Isabelle Crevecoeur (right) and Marie‑Hélène Dias‑Meirinho (left) study the Jebel Sahaba human remains in the Egypt and Sudan department of the British Museum. The researchers from France and the United Kingdom found healed injuries on the skeletons that hadn't been documented in previous studies on the remains -- suggesting there were multiple raids, ambushes and skirmishes within these people's lifetimes. Everybody in what would have been a community of hunters, fishers and gatherers was a target for violence, with men, women and children affected in an indiscriminate manner, said Isabelle Crevecoeur, a researcher at the French National Centre for Scientific Research (CNRS) and the University of Bordeaux. "The only difference is related to what might be close combat. Women have more parry fractures of the forearm and men more fractures of the hand. In a close combat event, women might more instinctively try to protect themselves (with arms) while men might fight more with their hands." The children in the cemetery were more likely to have sustained blunt force trauma to the head. And the projectile nature of the wounds suggested that the violence wasn't domestic or between members of the same community, she added. The researchers revealed more than 100 new wounds -- both healed and unhealed on the skeletons and some of them had flakes from stone weapons still embedded in the bones. The mark made by a projectile weapon such as stone spear or arrowhead on the surface of a hip bone. The mark made by a projectile weapon such as stone spear or arrowhead on the surface of a hip bone. Almost all the individuals had evidence of trauma, whether from bone fractures or puncture wounds from projectile weapons. Some 40% of the individuals had both healed and unhealed injuries, suggesting that violence was part of the fabric of life at that time. They were also able to accurately date the skeletons to at least 13,400 years old through radiocarbon dating, making it the earliest known cemetery and example of interpersonal violence in the world. She said there was no way to be sure about what people were fighting about as there are no written documents. That said, the researchers believe that the conflict arose as rival groups that lived in the area competed for food and resources limited by dramatic changes in climate. Those changes took place between 11,000 and 20,000 years ago toward the end of a period known as the last glacial maximum, when ice sheets covered much of the Northern Hemisphere, disrupting the Earth's climate.

Crevecoeur said the Nile Valley might have been a refuge for different groups of humans that once lived across a wide area as a very arid climate drove them toward the river, where it would have been easier to find animals to hunt and fish. There was also evidence of very severe flooding of the Nile at this time, she added. "These changes were not gradual at all. They had to survive these changes that were brutal," Crevecoeur said.

1. Their sense of smell is at least 40x better than ours The area of cells in the brain that detect different smells is around 40 times larger in dogs than humans. This means that your dog can pick up on way more smells than we ever could. This is why dogs are often used to sniff out people, drugs and even money! In fact, a number of our own hero hounds were awarded PDSA medals for their noses! Arms and explosives search dog Buster (pictured above) was awarded his PDSA Dickin Medal in 2003 for his remarkable service in Iraq – he located a large amount of weapons and explosives linked to an extremist group, saving the lives of many civilians and service personnel. Read more stories about our incredible medal recipients. 2. Some have such good noses they can sniff out medical problems Yup, medical detection dogs are a thing. Because their sense of smell is so great, some dogs can be trained to sniff out medical conditions. They are used to diagnose a particular condition or to alert their owners if they need more medication. Some are even being trained to sniff out Covid-19! One of these incredible dogs is Medical Detection Dog Pal (pictured above), who was awarded the PDSA Order of Merit. Pal played a vital role in diabetic owner Claire’s life by alerting her of changes in her blood sugar. If not caught in time, these changes could have killed her. Read more about their incredible bond. 3. Dogs can sniff at the same time as breathing Dogs rely a lot on their sense of smell to find food, potential dangers, and friends, so needless to say they sniff a lot. Their noses are designed so smells can stay in their nose while air can move in and out of their lungs at the same time, which means they can breathe freely and still work out what that smell is! 4. Some dogs are incredible swimmers So, not all dogs like water, but the ones that do tend to be pretty good swimmers (but again, not all are so always keep an eye on your dog in case they decide to take a dip out and about). Newfoundlands are so good in the water that for years they’ve been used as water rescue dogs. In 2016, a brave Newfoundland called Whizz was awarded the PDSA Order of Merit for saving nine people from the sea over his career as a water rescue dog. Read more about Whizz’s amazing rescues. 5. Some are fast and could even beat a cheetah! Most dogs could easily outrun a human – they’re built to run and chase! The fastest breed of dog by far, though, is the Greyhound. These speedy sight hounds can reach a top speed of 45mph within seconds of starting to run ‘But how does this beat a cheetah?’ we hear you ask. Well, while a cheetah can get up to almost 70mph, they can only keep this going for around 30 seconds. Greyhounds, on the other hand, could easily run at speeds in excess of 35mph for seven miles. So despite the cheetah’s head start, they’d soon overtake! 6. Dogs don’t sweat like we do While dogs do sweat, don’t expect them to be getting damp armpits any time soon. Where humans sweat watery liquid to cool down, dogs produce a pheromone laden oily substance that us humans can’t detect (dogs know it’s there because of that great sense of smell). The only place that dogs sweat like us is on their paws, so instead they pant to cool down. This is why it’s so important to keep your dog cool on those warmer days to make it easier on them. 7. Your dog could be left or right-pawed There have been a few studies around this and it turns out that just like us, dogs have a preferred hand (well, paw) to lead with. You can find out whether your dog is left or right-pawed by giving them their favourite toy or interactive game and seeing which paw they use to help them first. 8. Along with their noses, their hearing is super sensitive We all know dogs can hear much higher frequencies than us, but did you know they can also hear further? Generally, dogs can hear much softer sounds than we can, so they can hear things that are much further away. This is another trait that makes them great search and rescue dogs. While they will mainly use their nose for tracking, their hearing can also be a real help (especially as they get closer to whatever they are looking for!). Dogs like K9 Killer (pictured above), who was awarded the PDSA Gold Medal for helping to track down Rhino poachers, are excellent at tracking using both smell and hearing. Read more about K9. 9. Dogs have 18 muscles controlling their ears If you have a dog, you might notice that their ears move around a lot. They actually have around 18 muscles responsible for moving their ears. These help them to change the direction of their ears slightly to hear noises around them better, and play a really big part in telling us how our dogs are feeling. A lot of a dog’s body language is expressed through what their ears are doing so a dog’s ears are vital in helping them communicate both with us and other dogs. Read more about canine body language. 10. Dogs are about as intelligent as a two-year-old Studies have shown that dogs can learn over 100 words and gestures, which puts their intelligence and understanding of us on a par with a two year old. However, dogs are much easier to train than a two year old! They’re used for all sorts of jobs, from military roles to assistance dogs, because they’re both clever and extremely loyal animals.

De VOA Learning English, este es el informe de salud y estilo de vida. Cada 17 años, miles de millones de insectos, conocidos como las cigarras de Brood X, surgen de la tierra. ¡Este año, quizás, habrá billones! Diferentes crías, o grupos, de cigarras salen en diferentes años. La última vez que apareció Brood X fue en 2004. La cría es una de las más grandes y aparecerá en algún momento de mayo en 15 estados, desde Georgia en el sur hasta Nueva York en el noreste. Muchos científicos y amantes de los insectos dicen que esperan con ansias los insectos de ojos rojos después de una espera de 17 años. Uno de ellos es Mike Raupp, experto en insectos de la Universidad de Maryland. Los entomólogos de la Universidad de Maryland Michael Raupp y Paula Shrewsbury tamizan una pala de tierra para seleccionar ninfas de cigarra en un jardín suburbano en Columbia, Maryland, el martes 13 de abril de 2021. (Carolyn Kaster) Los entomólogos de la Universidad de Maryland Michael Raupp y Paula Shrewsbury tamizan una pala de tierra para seleccionar las ninfas de las cigarras en un jardín suburbano en Columbia, Maryland, el martes 13 de abril de 2021. (Carolyn Kaster) esperando que la temperatura del suelo alcance los 18 grados Celsius, creo que eso es alrededor de 64 grados Fahrenheit. Entonces van a estar arriba y fuera del suelo ". Raupp llamó al evento una "fiesta en las copas de los árboles". Cuando los insectos salgan del suelo, dejarán caer su piel, sacarán sus alas e intentarán subir a las copas de los árboles para escapar de los depredadores. Raupp dijo a VOA que todas las criaturas querrán comerse una cigarra, ¡y lo harán! “En esa noche de emergencia cuando las cigarras salgan de la tierra, todo en el planeta va a querer comerse una cigarra”. Una vez en las copas de los árboles, los machos de las cigarras "cantarán" sus canciones de apareamiento para atraer a las hembras. ¡Y es ruidoso! Si le gusta el canto, tendrán sexo y se reproducirán. Aproximadamente seis semanas después, las ninfas se caerán de las copas de los árboles y entrarán en el suelo. Bajo los pies, los insectos se alimentarán silenciosamente de las raíces de los árboles y esperarán otros 17 años para comenzar la fiesta en las copas de los árboles nuevamente. "Creo que las cigarras periódicas brindan a decenas de millones de personas la oportunidad de simplemente salir a su patio trasero y presenciar y disfrutar de un evento natural que no ocurre en ningún otro lugar del planeta, solo unas pocas veces en la vida". Una cigarra adulta muda su piel de ninfa en la corteza de un roble, el martes 4 de mayo de 2021, en el campus de la Universidad de Maryland en College Park, Maryland.

(Foto: Carolyn Kaster) Extraña estrategia de supervivencia Raup explicó que algunas cigarras aparecen todos los años. Pero tienen un ciclo de vida mucho más corto y se mantienen vivos de dos maneras. Son verdes y pueden esconderse en la naturaleza. Además, pueden volar muy rápido. Entonces, evitan ser capturados por depredadores. Las cigarras periódicas como Brood X no tienen ninguno de esos métodos para salvar vidas. Para continuar con la especie, dijo que aparecerán miles de millones de cigarras periódicas al mismo tiempo. Entonces, sus depredadores no pueden comerlos a todos. Además, al salir cada 17 años, no son una fuente de alimento confiable para los depredadores y simplemente los sobreviven. Algunas personas pueden tener miedo de Brood X o preocuparse por el ruido. Raupp advirtió que podría ayudar pensar en las similitudes entre Brood X y las personas. "Sabes, Este último año para los humanos ha sido un año de muchos desafíos, ¿verdad? Hemos tenido COVID. Hemos tenido disturbios sociales. Pero ahora, con las vacunas, con el levantamiento de las restricciones, la gente está saliendo de nuevo. Ya no hay distanciamiento social. Se divierten con sus amigos. Ahora, piensa en las cigarras. Han estado en la clandestinidad durante 17 años distanciándose socialmente. No están saliendo juntos. Y al igual que nosotros, esta primavera de mayo, están subiendo y bajando del suelo. Van a ir a las copas de los árboles. Se van a divertir ". Comer cigarras Para aquellos que se sienten aún más valientes, una estudiante de la Universidad de Maryland, Jenna Jadin, escribió un libro en 2004 para dar instrucciones de cocina para comer cigarras. En Cicada-Licious: cocinar y disfrutar cigarras periódicas, sugiere comer solo cigarras recién emergidas cuyos cuerpos externos no se hayan endurecido. Déjelos hervir durante unos cuatro a cinco minutos. Retire las partes duras: las alas y las piernas. No te harán daño, escribe. Pero no son tan sabrosos. Luego puedes freírlos en condimentos. La cigarra emerge del caparazón. La cigarra emerge del caparazón. Raupp y otros expertos advierten que las personas deben hablar con su médico antes de comer cualquier insecto. También sugiere que las personas que temen a las cigarras las vean de esta manera. "Sí. Creo que todos sienten que es un nuevo día. Es un nuevo día para nosotros. Sin duda, será un día nuevo y maravilloso para las cigarras. Entonces, creo que tenemos mucho que esperar ”. Y ese es el informe de salud y estilo de vida. Soy Anna Matteo.

Some employees at the Emergent BioSolutions plant in Baltimore failed to shower or change clothes, which is required when working in the factory and it likely played a role in ruining millions of Johnson & Johnson’s Covid-19 doses, according to a memo released Wednesday by a key House committee. Inspections of the Bayview facility conducted last year also flagged problems with mold, poor disinfection of plant equipment and inadequate training of employees, staff for the Select Subcommittee on the Coronavirus Crisis said in the memo. The committee is holding a hearing Wednesday examining the biopharmaceutical company’s role in ruining the J&J shots. WATCH NOW VIDEO01:25 Emergent Biosolutions CEO walks back denial regarding cross contamination Even though inspectors found poor conditions at the plant, top executives were awarded hundreds of thousands of dollars in bonuses last year and were praised by the company’s board for their leadership, according to other documents released by the committee. CNBC Health & Science Read CNBC’s latest coverage of the Covid pandemic: CDC chief says lab-based origin of Covid possible but animal host is most common Emergent CEO says FDA is holding over 100 million J&J Covid vaccine doses for further testing after botched doses Employees at plant that ruined millions of J&J Covid vaccine doses failed to shower, change clothes 60% of U.S. adults have received at least one vaccine dose as case counts fall further India’s daily death toll crosses 4,500 as Covid-19 cases stay below 300,000 Texas Gov. Abbott threatens to fine cities and local officials if they impose mask mandates As more colleges decide to require Covid vaccines for students, some protest Olympic organizers should mandate Covid vaccines for athletes and fans at Tokyo Games From employer mandates to TV ads: What full FDA approval could mean for Covid vaccines India Covid variant set to be dominant in UK ‘in a matter of days,’ posing unknown dangers View More Emergent CEO Robert Kramer received a $1.2 million bonus last year, according to one document, while three other executives received payments of more than $400,000. The U.S. government awarded the company a $628 million contract last year to help make coronavirus vaccines. Emergent did not immediately respond to CNBC’s request for comment. The hearing Wednesday comes more than a month after the Biden administration put J&J in charge of the Baltimore plant after U.S. officials learned that Emergent, a federal contractor that had been making key ingredients for J&J and AstraZeneca, cross-contaminated ingredients for the two shots. WATCH NOW VIDEO02:57 FDA completes Emergent Biosolutions factory inspection, orders fixes During the hearing, Kramer said the FDA is holding over 100 million J&J Covid-19 vaccine doses for further testing. “There are a significant number of doses that we’ve manufactured. Again, we manufacture the bulk drug substances,” Kramer told lawmakers. “It has been reported in a number of news agencies that there are probably over 100 million doses of the J&J vaccine that we’ve manufactured that are now being evaluated by the FDA for potential release and availability.” An inspection by the Food and Drug Administration later found the plant was unsanitary and unsuitable to manufacture the shots. In a 13-page report, inspectors wrote that the facility used to manufacture the vaccine was “not maintained in a clean and sanitary condition” and was “not of suitable size, design, and location to facilitate cleaning, maintenance, and proper operations.” FDA inspectors said paint was observed to be peeling in multiple areas and walls were damaged that could impact Emergent’s “ability to adequately clean and disinfect.” They also noted that employees did not follow standard operating procedures in handling waste or vaccine manufacturing materials to ensure they weren’t contaminated. The facility has not been authorized by the FDA to manufacture or distribute Johnson & Johnson’s Covid-19 vaccine, and none of the doses manufactured at the plant have been distributed for use in the United States. Emergent has agreed to pause production of materials until the issues the FDA identified are resolved. Emergent said at the time it was committed to working with the FDA and J&J to fix the problems. “While we are never satisfied to see shortcomings in our manufacturing facilities or process, they are correctable and we will take swift action to remedy them,” it said in a statement on.

Puede que ames a tu gato, pero es posible que no seas completamente consciente de lo genial que es ella, y su especie en general. Por ejemplo, ¿sabías que los gatos tienen un órgano extra que les permite saborear aromas? ¿O que desarrollaron el maullido como una forma de comunicarse exclusivamente con los humanos? Claramente, hay más en tu pequeño amigo felino de lo que parece. Entonces, para ayudarlo a apreciar completamente lo increíbles que son los gatos, les pedimos a los profesionales del cuidado de gatos en Care.com, es decir, cuidadores de gatos, huéspedes y peluqueros, que compartan sus datos divertidos favoritos sobre estas criaturas místicas. Luego reunimos una lista de los 101 datos más divertidos sobre gatos que puede compartir con sus amigos y familiares. Datos sobre la anatomía y fisiología de los gatos El genoma de un gato doméstico es un 95,6 por ciento de tigre y comparten muchos comportamientos con sus antepasados de la jungla, dice Layla Morgan Wilde, un experto en comportamiento felino y el fundador de Cat Wisdom 101. Estos comportamientos incluyen marcar con olor al rascar, jugar con la presa, acechar a la presa, abalanzarse, mentir y marcar con la orina. Se cree que los gatos son los únicos mamíferos que no saben lo dulce. Los gatos son miopes, pero su visión periférica y su visión nocturna son mucho mejores que las de los humanos. Se supone que los gatos tienen 18 dedos (cinco dedos en cada pata delantera; cuatro dedos en cada pata trasera). Los gatos pueden saltar hasta seis veces su longitud. Todas las garras de los gatos se [CENSORED]n hacia abajo, lo que significa que no pueden bajar de los árboles de cabeza. En cambio, tienen que retroceder por el maletero. Las clavículas de los gatos no se conectan con sus otros huesos, ya que estos huesos están enterrados en los músculos de sus hombros. Los gatos tienen 230 huesos, mientras que los humanos solo tienen 206. Los gatos tienen un órgano adicional que les permite saborear aromas en el aire. por eso tu gato te mira fijamente con la boca abierta de vez en cuando. Los gatos también tienen bigotes en la parte posterior de las patas delanteras. Los gatos tienen casi el doble de neuronas en su corteza cerebral que los perros. Los gatos tienen los ojos más grandes en relación con el tamaño de su cabeza de cualquier mamífero. Los gatos hacen muy poco ruido cuando caminan. Las almohadillas gruesas y suaves de sus patas les permiten acercarse sigilosamente a su presa, ¡o a ti! La lengua áspera de los gatos puede lamer un hueso para limpiar cualquier trozo de carne. Los gatos usan sus largas colas para equilibrarse cuando saltan o caminan por salientes estrechos. Los gatos usan sus bigotes para "sentir" el mundo que los rodea en un esfuerzo por determinar en qué espacios pequeños pueden caber. Los bigotes de un gato generalmente tienen aproximadamente el mismo ancho que su cuerpo. (Es por eso que nunca, NUNCA debes cortarles los bigotes. ) Los gatos caminan como camellos y jirafas: primero mueven ambos pies derechos, luego mueven ambos pies izquierdos. Ningún otro animal camina de esta manera. Los gatos machos tienen más probabilidades de tener la pata izquierda, mientras que las gatas tienen más probabilidades de tener la pata derecha. Aunque los gatos pueden notar los movimientos rápidos de sus presas, a menudo les parece que los objetos que se mueven lentamente están realmente estancados. Algunos gatos son ambidiestros, pero el 40 por ciento tiene patas izquierda o derecha. Algunos gatos pueden nadar. Hay gatos que tienen más de 18 dedos. Estos felinos de dígitos adicionales se conocen como "polidactilo". Datos sobre la salud y el bienestar de los gatos La esperanza de vida promedio de un gato aumentó en un año durante el período comprendido entre 2002 y 2012, según un estudio del Banfield Pet Hospital. Según The Huffington Post, los gatos suelen dormir de 12 a 16 horas al día. Los gatos son crepusculares lo que significa que son más activos al amanecer y al anochecer. Los gatos son criaturas fastidiosas con su "baño". Si tiene más de un gato, debe tener una caja de arena para cada uno. Los gatos pueden pasar hasta un tercio de sus horas de vigilia acicalándose. Los gatos viven más tiempo cuando permanecen en el interior. El ronroneo de los gatos puede ser un comportamiento tranquilizador, ya que hacen este ruido cuando están enfermos o angustiados, así como cuando están felices. Los gatos rechazarán una comida desagradable hasta el punto de morir de hambre. A pesar de la poca creencia, muchos gatos son en realidad intolerantes a la lactosa. ¡Las gatas tienen la capacidad de quedar embarazadas cuando solo tienen 4 meses de edad! Las uvas y las pasas, así como las cebollas, el ajo y el cebollino, son alimentos extremadamente dañinos para los gatos. Las uvas y las pasas pueden causar insuficiencia renal, aunque el razonamiento detrás de eso no está claro. Mientras tanto, cebollas, ajo, y las cebolletas causan estragos en el sistema gastrointestinal de su gato y pueden causar anemia. Si mantiene activo a su gato durante el día, dormirá mejor por la noche. Si no está dando de comer a su gato, también puede ayudarlo a dormir bien por la noche proporcionándole una cena abundante. Se cree que la hierba gatera produce un efecto similar al LSD o la marihuana en los gatos. Los efectos de la nepetalactona, la sustancia química de la hierba gatera que puede volver locos a los gatos, desaparecen en 15 minutos y no vuelven a salir a la superficie durante unas horas, incluso si su gato permanece a distancia para olfatear. Los gatitos pueden ser esterilizados o castrados cuando solo tienen ocho semanas de edad. Si es posible, estos procedimientos deben realizarse en los primeros 5 meses de vida de su gato. Los gatos machos que han sido curados necesitan menos calorías para mantener su peso. La esterilización y la castración pueden prolongar la vida de un gato. El estudio del Banfield Pet Hospital encontró que los machos castrados viven un promedio de 62 por ciento más que los gatos no castrados y las hembras esterilizadas viven un promedio de 39 por ciento más que los gatos no esterilizados. El proceso de aseo de su gato estimula el flujo sanguíneo a su piel, regula su temperatura corporal y lo ayuda a relajarse. Datos sobre las señales de comunicación de los gatos Un gato con una cola en forma de signo de interrogación pregunta: "¿Quieres jugar?" Según Wilde, un parpadeo lento es un "beso de gatito". Este movimiento muestra satisfacción y confianza. Los gatos tienen un "vocabulario" único con su dueño: cada gato tiene un conjunto diferente de vocalizaciones, ronroneos y comportamientos. Los gatos tienen hasta 100 vocalizaciones diferentes, los perros solo tienen 10. A los gatos les resulta amenazador cuando haces contacto visual directo con ellos. Los gatos te marcan como su territorio cuando frotan sus caras y cuerpos contra ti, ya que tienen glándulas olfativas en esas áreas. Los gatos pueden bostezar como una forma de terminar una confrontación con otro animal. Piense en ello como su gesto de "hablar con la mano". Silbar es defensivo, no agresivo, dice Wilde. “Es una expresión de miedo, estrés o incomodidad de un gato amenazado que dice 'mantente alejado'”, dice. Si los gatos están peleando, el gato que silba es el más vulnerable, dice Wilde. Si tu gato se te acerca con la cola recta, casi vibrante, significa que está muy feliz de verte. Amasar, a lo que algunas personas se refieren como "hacer galletas", es un signo de satisfacción y felicidad. Los gatos amasan a sus madres cuando están amamantando para estimular la bajada de la leche. Maullar es un comportamiento que los gatos desarrollaron exclusivamente para comunicarse con las personas. Cuando un gato se deja caer y deja al descubierto su barriga, no siempre es una invitación para un masaje en el vientre. Un gato hace esto cuando está relajado y muestra confianza. Cuando los gatos te golpean con las garras retraídas, están jugando, no atacando. Cuando los perros mueven la cola, pueden estar expresando felicidad. ¡Pero este no es el caso de los gatos! Cuando tu gato menea la cola, es su manera de advertirte que te estás poniendo en su último nervio. Cuando tu gato te pone el trasero en la cara, lo hace como un gesto de amistad. Los bigotes también son buenos indicadores del estado de ánimo de un gato. Cuando un gato tiene miedo, se vuelve a poner los bigotes. Pero cuando un gato está en modo de caza, adelanta sus bigotes. Su gato coloca su cola sobre otro gato, su perro o usted como símbolo de amistad. Datos sobre los comportamientos extravagantes de los gatos y por qué suceden Los gatos son muy quisquillosos con sus tazones de agua; algunos prefieren ignorar sus tazones por completo a favor de beber del grifo del fregadero. Los gatos acicalan a otros gatos, y a veces a personas, en un ritual llamado allogrooming. A los gatos les gusta dormir sobre cosas que huelen como sus dueños, como sus almohadas y ropa sucia (¡uf!). A los gatos también les encanta dormir en cestas de ropa, porque básicamente son escondites con mirillas. Los gatos a menudo atacan tus tobillos cuando están aburridos. Ciertos gatos se vuelven locos por alimentos que no esperarías, como aceitunas, papas fritas y el lúpulo en la cerveza. Por alguna razón, a los gatos realmente les disgustan los aromas cítricos. Si no puede encontrar a su gato, debe buscar en una caja o una bolsa, ya que estos son algunos de sus escondites favoritos. Los gatos machos que intentan llegar a una hembra en celo pueden mostrar un comportamiento muy extraño; por ejemplo, ¡se sabe que algunos se deslizan por las chimeneas! A muchos gatos les gusta lamer el cabello recién lavado de sus dueños. A algunos gatos les encanta el olor a cloro. El comportamiento de robo no es infrecuente entre los gatos. A menudo agarran objetos como peluches, plumeros y otras cosas que les recuerdan a sus presas. Datos sobre los gatos que hicieron historia Un gato verde nació en Dinamarca en 1995. Algunas personas creen que los altos niveles de cobre en las tuberías de agua cercanas pueden haberle dado a su pelaje un efecto verdín. ¡Resulta que Abraham Lincoln era un presidente loco! Tenía cuatro gatos que vivían en la Casa Blanca con él. Maria Assunta dejó a su gato, Tomasso, toda su fortuna de 13 millones de dólares cuando murió en 2011. El gato del presidente Bill Clinton, Socks, era un favorito de los medios durante la administración Clinton y se decía que recibía más cartas que el propio presidente. Stubbs, un atigrado naranja de 17 años, es alcalde del distrito histórico de Talkeetna, Alaska. Otros datos sorprendentes sobre gatos que no sabías El estilo de aprendizaje de un gato es aproximadamente el mismo que el de un niño de 2 a 3 años. El ronroneo de un gato vibra a una frecuencia de 25 a 150 hercios, que es la misma frecuencia a la que se reparan los músculos y los huesos. Un grupo de gatitos se llama "kindle". Un gato doméstico podría vencer al corredor superestrella Usain Bolt en los 200 metros planos. Aproximadamente la mitad de los gatos del mundo responden al olor de la hierba gatera. Los criadores de gatos se llaman "criaderos". Los gatos pueden aprender a ir al baño. Los gatos pueden beber agua de mar para sobrevivir. (En caso de que se lo pregunte, no podemos.) Los gatos no tienen un tabú del incesto, por lo que pueden optar por aparearse con sus hermanos y hermanas. Los gatos sueñan, como la gente. Los gatos han contribuido a la extinción de 33 especies diferentes. Los gatos perciben a las personas como grandes gatos sin pelo, dice Wilde. Los gatos fueron traídos por primera vez a las Américas en la época colonial para deshacerse de los roedores. Los sustantivos colectivos para gatos adultos incluyen "clowder", "desorden", "deslumbrante" y "saltar". La huella de la nariz de cada gato es única, al igual que las huellas dactilares humanas. Todos los gatos Scottish Fold del mundo pueden rastrear su herencia hasta el primero, que se encontró en Escocia en la década de 1960, dice Cheryl Hogan, una criadora de Scottish Fold y presidenta del comité de la raza en The International Cat Association (TICA). No es raro ver gatos en las tiendas de alimentos de las grandes ciudades como una forma de control de plagas gratuito y adorable. Los gatitos de la misma camada pueden tener más de un padre. Esto se debe a que la gata libera múltiples huevos en el transcurso de unos días cuando está en celo. Los gatos machos son los más sensibles a la hierba gatera, mientras que los gatitos menores de 3 meses no tienen respuesta alguna. La mayoría de los idiomas del mundo tienen una palabra similar para describir el sonido del "maullido". La gente suele pensar que se ha topado con un perro de pura raza como callejero o en un refugio, pero Hogan dice que esto es muy poco común. “Noventa y nueve de cada 100 veces lo que has encontrado en la calle no será nada de pura raza”, dice ella. “Muy rara vez los criadores venden gatitos que no estén esterilizados o castrados”, ya que los gatos de raza pura deben cumplir con estándares muy estrictos. Unos 700 millones de gatos salvajes viven en los Estados Unidos, y muchos refugios llevan a cabo programas de liberación de trampas, castración y liberación para detener el crecimiento de la población. Los estudios sugieren que los gatos domesticados aparecieron por primera vez alrededor del 3600 aC. El primer video de gatos conocido se grabó en 1894. Hay alrededor de 88 millones de gatos domésticos en los Estados Unidos, lo que los convierte en la mascota más pobre del país. Doscientos gatos salvajes merodean por el parque de Disneyland, haciendo su parte para controlar a los roedores, los que no usan atuendos divertidos y hablan con voces chillonas.

he Israeli military unleashed a wave of heavy airstrikes on the Gaza Strip early Monday, saying it destroyed 15 kilometers (9 miles) of militant tunnels and the homes of nine Hamas commanders, as international diplomats worked to end the week of fighting that has killed hundreds of people. The latest attacks killed a top Gaza leader of the Islamic Jihad militant group whom the Israeli military blamed for some of the thousands of rocket attacks launched at Israel in recent days. Residents of Gaza awakened by the overnight barrage described it as the heaviest since the war began. The strikes hollowed out one floor of a multistory concrete building. A woman picked through clothing, rubble and splintered furniture in a room that had been destroyed. One strike demolished the wall of one room, leaving untouched an open cabinet filled with bedding inside. Children walked over debris in the road. A car in the street that witnesses said was hit by an airstrike was bent and torn, its roof ripped back and what was left of the driver's side door smeared with blood. A beachside cafe the car had just left was splintered and on fire. Rescue workers tried to put out the blaze with a small fire extinguisher. There was no immediate word on casualties. The strikes came a day after the deadliest attack in the current round of hostilities between Israel and Gaza's Hamas rulers, which killed 42 people and flattened three buildings in Gaza. Gaza's mayor, Yahya Sarraj, told Al-Jazeera TV that the strikes had caused extensive damage to roads and other infrastructure. "If the aggression continues we expect conditions to become worse," he said. The U.N. has warned that the territory's sole power station is at risk of running out of fuel, and Sarraj said Gaza was also low on spare parts. Gaza already experiences daily power outages for between eight and 12 hours, and tap water is undrinkable. Mohammed Thabet, a spokesman for the the territory's electricity distribution company, said it has fuel to supply Gaza with electricity for two or three days. Hamas also continued its rocket attacks, launching them from residential areas in Gaza and aimed at civilian po[CENSORED]tion centers in Israel. The war broke out last Monday, when the Hamas militant group fired long-range rockets at Jerusalem after weeks of clashes in the holy city between Palestinian protesters and Israeli police. The protests were focused on the heavy-handed policing of a flashpoint sacred site during the Muslim holy month of Ramadan and the threatened eviction of dozens of Palestinian families by Jewish settlers. More protests were expected across the region Tuesday in response to a call by Palestinian citizens of Israel for a general strike. The protest has the support of Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas' Fatah party. Since the fighting began, the Israeli military has launched hundreds of airstrikes it says are targeting Hamas' militant infrastructure. Palestinian militants in Gaza have fired more than 3,200 rockets into Israel. Israeli military officials said Hamas had stockpiled about 15,000 rockets before the war started. At least 200 Palestinians have been killed in the strikes, including 59 children and 35 women, with 1,300 people wounded, according to the Gaza Health Ministry. Eight people in Israel have been killed in rocket attacks launched from Gaza, including a 5-year-old boy and a soldier. Despite international efforts at a cease-fire, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Sunday that Israel's attacks were continuing at "full-force" and would "take time." Israel "wants to levy a heavy price" on the Hamas militant group, he said. Hamas' top leader, Ismail Haniyeh, who is based abroad, said the group has been contacted by the United Nations, Russia, Egypt and Qatar as part of cease-fire efforts but "will not accept a solution that is not up to the sacrifices of the Palestinian people." In an interview with the Lebanese daily Al-Akhbar, he blamed the war on Israel's actions in Jerusalem and boasted that the rockets were "paralyzing the usurping entity (Israel)." Egyptian President Abdel Fattah el-Sissi said his government is working to "urgently" end the violence, in his first comments since the war broke out. Egypt, which borders Gaza and Israel, has played a central role in the cease-fires brokered after previous rounds of fighting. An Egyptian diplomat said the current efforts were focusing on two issues - a halt in all attacks from both sides and halting Israeli policies in the contested city of Jerusalem that helped spark the fighting. These include police raids against Palestinian protesters in and around the Al-Aqsa Mosque and the planned evictions of Palestinians by Jewish settlers in east Jerusalem. The diplomat, speaking on condition of anonymity because he was talking about confidential diplomatic discussions, said mediators were counting on the Biden administration to put pressure on Israel to stop its offensive and there were expectations for action in the coming 48 hours. U.S. diplomat Hady Amr met with a delegation from the Palestinian Authority on Monday, a day after meeting senior Israeli leaders. But the Biden administration has declined so far to publicly criticize Israel's part in the fighting or send a top-level envoy to the region. Speaking to reporters during a trip to Denmark, Secretary of State Antony Blinken said the United States would support any initiative to stop the fighting, but signaled the country did not intend to put pressure on the two sides to accept a cease-fire. "Ultimately it is up to the parties to make clear that they want to pursue a cease-fire," he said. Rocket attacks continued Monday, with one hitting a building in the city of Ashdod that caused injuries, the Israeli police said. The Israeli military, meanwhile, said it struck 35 "terror targets" Monday as well as the tunnels, which it says are part of an elaborate system it refers to as the "Metro," used by fighters to take cover from airstrikes. The tunnels extend for hundreds of kilometers (miles), with some more than 20 meters (yards) deep, according to an Israeli Air Force official who spoke to reporters on condition of anonymity, in keeping with regulations. The official said Israel was not trying to destroy all the tunnels, just chokepoints and major junctions. The military also said it struck nine houses in different parts of northern Gaza that belonged to "high-ranking commanders" in Hamas. Islamic Jihad said one strike killed Hasam Abu Harbid, the militant group's commander for the northern Gaza Strip. In recent days, Israel has targeted the homes of a number of senior Hamas leaders, including Yehiyeh Sinwar, the top leader inside the territory. The group's leadership goes underground when the fighting begins, and it's unlikely any were at home at the time of the strikes. Hamas and Islamic Jihad say at least 20 of their fighters have been killed, while Israel says the number is at least 130 and has released the names of and photos of more than two dozen militant commanders it says were "eliminated." Israel's airstrikes have leveled a number of Gaza City's tallest buildings, which Israel alleges contained Hamas military infrastructure. Among them was the building housing The Associated Press Gaza office and those of other media outlets. The Israeli military alerted staff and residents before the strike, and all were able to evacuate safely. Sally Buzbee, the AP's executive editor, has called for an independent investigation into the airstrike. Netanyahu alleged that Hamas military intelligence was operating inside the building and said Sunday any evidence would be shared through intelligence channels. Neither the White House nor the State Department would say if any had been seen.

Seven children and two adults have been killed in a shooting at a school in the Russian city of Kazan, officials say. Twenty-one other people, mostly children, were injured. A 19-year-old suspect was detained. The attack happened in the capital of the republic of Tatarstan, 820km (510 miles) east of Moscow. Russian PM Mikhail Mishustin spoke of "great sorrow" while Tatarstan's leader Rustam Minnikhanov described the attack as a "major tragedy".

How did the attack unfold? Mr Minnikhanov confirmed the deaths of seven children - four boys and three girls - as well as a female teacher and a female school worker at School No 175. It is believed the children were eighth graders (aged around 15). Eighteen children and three adults were being treated in hospitals for gunshot wounds, fractures and bruising, Mr Minnikhanov added. The attack began at about 09:20 local time (06:20 GMT), a source in the emergency services told Russian news agency Tass. The first signal from a panic button at the school was sent five minutes later. "Everyone started panicking and saying 'shut the doors'," a student who witnessed the attack told the Mediazona news website.

She had pushed the child out of the way in a corridor and tried to block the gunman but was shot and mortally wounded, the source said. On her Instagram account, Ms Ignatyeva had often posted upbeat messages over photos of herself enjoying walks and nights out. "It's not that hard to make your life happy," she wrote on 1 February.

The suspect went on social media before the attack, posting that he planned to kill a "huge number" of people before shooting himself.

Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said President Putin had ordered the chief of Russia's National Guard to "work out as a matter of urgency new regulations on the types of weapon that can be in civilian circulation and that can be owned by the public". The instruction was issued "given the type of firearm used by the shooter", Mr Peskov said. "The fact is that sometimes types of small arms are registered as hunting weapons, which in some countries are used as assault rifles," he explained. How frequent are school attacks in Russia? Shootings at schools are relatively rare in Russia compared with other countries, though the Beslan attack of 2004 was the deadliest in modern times: In November 2019 a 19-year-old student shot dead a classmate and injured three others before killing himself in the far eastern city of Blagoveshchensk.

Kawasaki’s Ninja sportbike line has evolved to include the 2021 H2 Carbon, a supercharged “Hypersport” motorcycle with incredible agility. The 998cc liquid-cooled 4-stroke is capable of 104.9 lb-ft of torque, and its stability is augmented by the Ninja’s high tensile steel trellis frame. The Carbon Edition is aptly named for its carbon fiber body components. The H2 Carbon is outfitted with a multitude of performance features and improved chassis management technologies. It incorporates the supercharged 998cc powerplant used in the track exclusive Ninja H2R, currently the world's fastest production motorcycle. This performance machinery represents a milestone in the Ninja line and pushes the limits of production bike capabilities. Pre-orders for the limited edition 2021 H2 began on September 29th of this year and will end on November 20th. Here’s a detailed look at what we know so far about Kawasaki's hypersport creation. The Limited Edition Design Features Carbon Fiber Kawasaki Ninja H2 Carbon Sport Bike High Performance Track Motorcyclevia totalmotorcycle.com The special edition Kawasaki H2 Carbon features an upper cowl made from carbon fiber reinforced plastic, identical to that of the track-only H2R. Mirror-like paint compliments the Ninja’s aggressive fairings and dashing aesthetic. Mirror Coated Matte Spark Black and Candy Flat Blazed Green make for a stunning combination on the sporty exterior of the H2 Carbon. Kawasaki managed to achieve a low curb weight of just 524.8lbs, a figure which includes a full tank of fuel and (optional) tool kit. Much like other modern Kawasaki sportbikes, the trellis frame is made from high-tensile steel. The bike is 82.1” long with a 5.1” ground clearance and seat height of 32.5”. This can likely be adjusted if necessary by purchasing an extended or reduced reach seat. Kawasaki also includes their Ergo-Fit customizable peg and handlebar positions. RELATED: Here’s Why The Ducati Monster 796 Is A Good Beginner Bike The Supercharged Engine Delivers Copious Amounts Of Power Kawasaki Ninja H2 Carbon Sport Bike High Performance Track Motorcyclevia kawasaki.com The H2 is equipped with a supercharged, liquid-cooled 4-stroke DOHC engine. The 998cc engine facilitates its torque figure of 104.9 lb-ft at 11,000rpm and power that likely surpasses 225hp. It has a bore and stroke of 76mm x 55mm and a compression ratio of 8.5:1. This engine utilizes digital fuel injection via quadruple 50mm throttle bodies with dual injection. Unlike the H2R, the Carbon will have an electronically governed top speed. This is sensible for a road-legal bike, especially considering that the H2R’s similar powertrain can propel the rider from 0 to 249mph in just 26 seconds. A substantial assortment of engine management technologies come standard on the 6-speed H2. This includes the assist/slipper clutch, which integrates two cams to improve clutch operation. The assist cam compresses the clutch hub and operating plate together to produce a lighter clutch feel. The slipper cam forces these components apart during rapid downshifts or engine braking. According to Kawasaki, this alleviation of clutch pressure can help prevent rear tire hop. Kawasaki Ninja H2 Carbon Sport Bike High Performance Track Motorcyclevia kawasaki.com In contrast to independent ABS systems, the Kawasaki Intelligent ABS connects the ABS control unit with the main ECU. The system monitors an array of variables including throttle position, engine speed, clutch actuation, and gear position. This is another technology that can reduce wheel hop and enhance precision brake control. The front suspension on the H2 Carbon is an adjustable 43mm inverted fork with 4.7” of travel, while the rear uses an Öhlins Uni-Trak TTX36, a gas-charged shock with 5.3” of travel. The front brakes are radial-mounted, opposed 4-piston Brembo Stylemas with 330mm discs; In the rear, the H2 has opposed 2-piston calipers with a single 250mm disc. The hydraulic pressure of the front caliper can be monitored through the Intelligent ABS unit. To augment performance in diverse conditions, traction control and a Cornering Management Function come standard on the H2. An Öhlins electronic steering damper is added, a feature that has a similar implementation on the Yamaha YZF-R1M. The front and rear tires are 120/70 and 200/55 ZR17s, wrapped around spoked wheels that have a signature Kawasaki look. The two-tone black and chrome wheels effectively pull together various elements of the futuristic aesthetic.

CHERNOBYL, UKRAINEMarina Shkvyria watches for animal tracks as she walks toward an abandoned village in the Chernobyl Exclusion Zone, the area sealed to the public after a nuclear power plant exploded here 30 years ago, on April 26, 1986. Spotting one, she crouches and runs her finger over the toes of a wolf print in the loose sand. It may seem strange that Chernobyl, an area known for the deadliest nuclear accident in history, could become a refuge for all kinds of animals—from moose, deer, beaver, and owls to more exotic species like brown bear, lynx, and wolves—but that is exactly what Shkvyria and some other scientists think has happened. Without people hunting them or ruining their habitat, the thinking goes, wildlife is thriving despite high radiation levels. Shkvyria is a wolf expert at the Ukraine’s National Academy of Sciences, and one of a handful of scientists following the fate of Chernobyl’s wildlife. She discovered the wolf pack near the village using unorthodox, but cheap, methods. “We came down here late last spring and howled, and the young wolf pups howled back from the top of that hill,” she says with a mischievous smile. 3:08 WATCH: The absence of humans in Chernobyl's exclusion zone has created an opportunity for abundant po[CENSORED]tions of gray wolves, and other animals. So far, scientists are divided on how well the animals are really doing in the exclusion zone, which straddles Ukraine and Belarus, says biologist Jim Beasley of the University of Georgia’s Savannah River Ecology Laboratory, who has been studying wolves there with grant support from the National Geographic Society Committee for Research and Exploration. In a new study released Monday, Beasley says that the po[CENSORED]tion of large mammals on the Belarus side has increased since the disaster. He was shocked by the number of animals he saw there in a five-week survey. Camera traps captured images of a bison, 21 boars, nine badgers, 26 gray wolves, 60 raccoon dogs (an Asian species also called a tanuki), and 10 red foxes. “It’s just incredible. You can’t go anywhere without seeing wolves,” he says. (See a video about wolves taking back Chernobyl.) Radiation, he argues in the study, is not holding back Chernobyl wildlife po[CENSORED]tions. Signs of Life While researching this story, one biologist who studies Chernobyl told me I would not see any roadkill in the exclusion zone—and would be lucky to hear any birds or see any animals. So when I visited in early April, I made a point of counting every animal I saw. Even in the busy area between the main guard post and the remains of the Chernobyl power plant, signs of wildlife were everywhere. Walking along sandy firebreaks used as forest highways with Shkvyria and her colleague, vole specialist Olena Burdo, we found the tracks of wolf, moose, deer, badger, and horses. I counted scores of birds: ravens, songbirds, three kinds of birds of prey, and dozens of swans paddling in the radioactive cooling pond. In a herd of wild Przewalski's horses, a rare and endangered subspecies of wild horse introduced to the preserve, I counted an adult male, two adult females, and two juveniles. They charged toward us across a large shaggy field, their brush-like black manes standing straight up from taupe bodies, and took a long look at us as disused power lines swayed in the distance. We also saw the handiwork of beavers—everywhere. The growth of their po[CENSORED]tions in recent years may be one of the most important things to happen in the zone’s ecology. After placing the camera trap on the trunk of a pine, Shkvyria, Burdo, and I walk along a path, eventually entering a village of rotting wooden cottages slowly being swallowed up by scrubby pines, birches, and willows. Here the earth had been torn up by a sounder of foraging boars. On the opposite end of the village, a perfectly straight Soviet canal still drained the low-lying land. The bright chips of a freshly chewed birch still lay at the base of a tree. Felled birches, some three feet around, lay across the water, up and down the length of the ditch. “Literally three weeks ago that tree was still standing,” Shkvyria says, pointing to the pale chips. “The beaver po[CENSORED]tion is growing. Beavers can return it to being a little bit more wild,” she says. Eventually, as the beavers fell trees, the land will return to bogs. “It will become like it was a hundred years ago.” “The beaver in Ukraine is exactly like the elephant in Africa: it completely changes the look of the landscape.” Debate Continues The combined territory of the exclusion zones in Ukraine and Belarus caused by the Chernobyl disaster is a little more than 1,600 square miles, making it one of the largest truly wild sanctuaries in Europe. But what it means for animals to be rebounding in Chernobyl has become the scientific equivalent of a boxing match, with the latest blow delivered Monday when Beasley put forward a study in the journal Frontiers in Ecology and the Environment. His study catalogued 14 species of mammals, and “found no evidence to suggest that their distributions were suppressed in highly contaminated areas within the Chernobyl Exclusion Zone.” The abstract ends pointedly. “These data support the results of other recent studies, and contrast with research suggesting that wildlife po[CENSORED]tions are depleted within the CEZ.” Chernobyl Fox Makes a Six-Layer Sandwich 1:20 CHERNOBYL FOX MAKES A SIX-LAYER SANDWICH April 30, 2015 - In Ukraine, a fox in the exclusion zone around the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant stacks up bread and meat thrown to it by a group of journalists. Click here to read more: " A viral video of a red fox got us wondering: Just how much can they eat? " Video courtesy...Read More Anders Pape Møller, a Danish scientist at the University of Paris-Sud who has studied swallows in nuclear environments, says his research shows otherwise. “These animals in Chernobyl and Fukushima live 24 hours a day in these contaminated sites. Even if the actual dose for one hour is not extremely high, after a week or after a month, it adds up to a lot. These effects are certainly at a level where you could see dramatic consequences.” His research with biologist Timothy Mousseau has shown that voles have higher rates of cataracts, useful po[CENSORED]tions of bacteria on the wings of birds in the zone are lower, partial albinism among barn swallows, and that cuckoos have become less common, among other findings. Serious mutations, though, happened only right after the accident. Both sides agree that radiation is bad for people and bad for animals; the debate is over how bad and whether it has caused po[CENSORED]tions to decline. The debate among scientists over the effects of low levels of ionizing radiation on wildlife and humans is heated and political, especially after the Fukushima catastrophe five years ago. With 30 years of history now to draw from, Chernobyl is the proving ground. (Read "The Long Shadow of Chernobyl" for a view of the site 20 years after the disaster.) Racking Up Radiation This year will mark the half-life of cesium-137, one of the most widespread and dangerous of the radionuclides released. That means the amount of cesium has dropped by about half in the 30 years since the accident, decaying into the short-lived barium-137m. For animals, radioactive material enters the system through the food chain. As Shkvyria places a camera trap on a pine tree near the wolf hillock, Burdo explains. “Mushrooms concentrate radiation. Voles love mushrooms. When they eat contaminated mushrooms, they concentrate the radiation in their bodies. When wolves eat voles, they pick up the contamination.” But the level of radionuclide contamination in an animal depends both on concentrations in its habitat and on the diet and behaviors of the animal, she says. Radiation deposited by fallout from Chernobyl has been measured as far away as Norway in reindeer, but it is patchily spread in the exclusion zone. Wolves, in particular, may get at least some protection from radiation because they have a big territory and move around a lot, even outside the zone into cleaner areas. “I would argue that for many of those species [the effects of radiation], even if they’re there, probably aren’t enough to suppress po[CENSORED]tions to the point where they can’t sustain themselves,” says Beasley. In the zone, “humans have been removed from the system and this greatly overshadows any of those potential radiation effects.” Essentially, this means that human po[CENSORED]tions have a bigger negative impact than radiation. Poaching and Protecting In his research lab in Slavutych, the surreal little Soviet town built right after the disaster for the physicists, workers, and scientists affiliated with Chernobyl, Sergey Gaschak emphatically agrees. The wildlife po[CENSORED]tion has grown “dramatically,” says Gaschak, who has worked in the zone for the past 30 years. (Read about people in the Chernobyl exclusion zone in "The Nuclear Tourist.") “Before the accident it was an area absolutely po[CENSORED]ted by people.” But he says that there is a “myth” that new animals have started to appear in the exclusion zone. “This is absolutely not true. Almost all the species we have now, we had before the accident, just in lower densities.” Gaschak has been using camera traps for a few years now and has a more complete list than almost any other researcher on the Ukrainian side. “We have all large mammals: red deer, roe deer, wild boar, moose, horse, bison, brown bear, lynx, wolves, two species of hare, beaver, otter, badger, some martins, some mink, and polecats,” he says, without taking a breath, adding that there are may be 20 other mammals including bats and also ten or more species of big birds, including hawks, eagles, owls, storks, and swans. Backing up the camera traps, Shkvyria has gone into the old Soviet archives, stacks of paper reports shelved in the National Academy of Sciences. What she found agrees with Gaschak’s research, and tempers international excitement over a po[CENSORED]tion boom in the zone. “We looked through official state censuses of all hunted species, and it was interesting for us to not see a really big difference between the 1960s, 1980s, 1990s, and today. It was a stable structure—40, 50, 60 wolves, not more” on the Ukrainian side, she says. “Illegal hunting still influences it, so it’s a dynamic system, but it’s more or less stable.” Indeed, the people living on the edge of the zone, even the poachers, are a good barometer to anecdotally measure increases in the number of wildlife, since animals do not need a pass to enter or leave the zone, as one villager put it. “There are more animals now than there were 30 years ago. We have horse, deer, moose, wolves, boar, hare and others,” says Anatoly Tsiganenko, standing in the warm afternoon sun next to his neighbor’s oily motorcycle repair garage in the village of Radcha, just a mile from the border with Belarus and a few hundred yards from the edge of the exclusion zone. Last fall, he says, he saw a wolf walking through his neck of the village. He guesses it was around 140 pounds and stood well above his knees. While it helps to confirm that there is more wildlife today than right before the accident, it also means there’s more poaching, especially on the Ukrainian side. A decree by Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko that would convert the exclusion zone into a nature preserve aims to help solve that problem, though Ukrainian researchers fear it will in the end weaken the protected status. “Illegal fishing and hunting sometimes happens. It’s at their own risk to do this. Unfortunately, we cannot control all such cases,” says Hanna Vronska, the acting Minister of Ecology and Natural Resources of Ukraine, who hopes the new status will make it easier to raise money from international donors for more rangers. While Beasley stops short of calling the landscape “ruined” by radioactive contamination, he knows that it will be there for centuries or millennia, in the case of plutonium. But, without humans around, his findings show that the wildlife seems to be doing all right. “The preliminary density estimates that we are seeing suggest that in Chernobyl the density of wolves is much, much higher than even Yellowstone.”
