Crocodiles are lazy hunters, biologists say. For this reason, a non-native species of pig in Australia is easy prey for its voracious appetite. Wild pigs in Australia know they are at risk when crossing rivers. Beneath the surface, they are likely to encounter a dizzying attack from one of the country's largest predators: crocodiles. Only in northern Australia, documents the BBC, there is a record of about 300,000 crocodiles of different species. Distributed between the bodies of salt and fresh water, reptiles dominate much of the territory. Contrary to what might be believed, however, these reptiles are "lazy" hunters, as described by Mariana Campbell, a researcher at Charles Darwin University: "CROCODILES EAT WHATEVER IS EASIEST AND WILD BOARS ARE THE PERFECT SIZE," THE SPECIALIST, WHO STUDYING SALTWATER CROCODILE IN THE NORTH OF THE COUNTRY, EXPLAINS TO THE NEW YORK TIMES. “THEY ARE PRETTY LAZY HUNTERS. IF YOU ARE A CROCODILE, WHAT IS EASIER? DO YOU STAY NEAR THE BANK AND WAIT A FEW HOURS FOR A PIG? OR ARE YOU GOING TO HUNT A SHARK, AN ANIMAL THAT CAN SWIM FIVE TIMES FASTER THAN YOU? Wild boars and other medium-sized mammals suffer the same fate. Weighing almost 70 kilos – as well as other of their favorite prey – they could be the largest meal of the day for an adult crocodile. Researchers couldn't be happier about this relationship: Until a few decades ago, feral pigs in Australia were the most destructive invasive species in forests. Without a natural predator to stop their progress through the territory, they wiped out plant species that other native species needed for food. Thus, too, they unbalanced these ecosystems by a chain reaction. Now, it seems that they have found a rival worthy of their destructive capacity. We suggest: An extremely rare humpback whale threatens lifeless off the coast of Australia Below the water "A pig going down to the water's edge is like ringing the dinner bell," says Frank Mazzotti, an expert on crocodiles and alligators at the University of Florida. Although it might seem insensitive at first glance, biologists are glad that wild pigs in Australia have a natural regulator. It should be taken into account that the species was artificially introduced in the eighteenth century. With the colonization of the territory, a wide diversity of animals were introduced to ecosystems that originally did not correspond to them. Some of them were wild boars and pigs, which adapted very well to the climatic conditions of the south. Perhaps too well, local conservationists think. More than anything, because the Australian forests were the perfect setting for these invasive species to reproduce freely. AFTER YEARS OF MAINTAINING CONTROL OF WILD PIGS (OR EVEN TRYING TO), IT SEEMS THAT NATURE IS PUTTING A STOPP ON THEM. NYT ENVIRONMENT REPORTER ANTHONY HAM DESCRIBES THE PHENOMENON AS REWRITING "THE COMPLICATED STORY OF WHAT HAPPENS WHEN NON-Native SPECIES TAKE OVER AN ECOSYSTEM." In parallel, with this new feast near the rivers, the world's largest crocodiles are recovering after being on the brink of extinction. Once hunted for sport, today they are protected by Australia's environmental law—and they have a broader menu to fill their stomachs. https://www.ngenespanol.com/animales/los-cerdos-en-australia-promueven-la-conservacion-de-cocodrilos-nativos/

Deputy President William Ruto has been declared the winner of Kenya's presidential election amid dramatic scenes. He narrowly beat his rival, Raila Odinga, taking 50.5% of the vote, according to the official results. The announcement was delayed amid scuffles and allegations of vote-rigging by Mr Odinga's campaign. Four of the seven members of the electoral commission refused to endorse the result, saying it was "opaque". "We cannot take ownership of the result that is going to be announced because of the opaque nature of this last phase of the general election," said Juliana Cherera, the vice-chairperson of Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC). "We are going to give a comprehensive statement... and again we urge Kenyans to keep calm," she added. Mr Odinga's party agent earlier alleged that there were "irregularities" and "mismanagement" in the election. This was the first time Mr Ruto, 55, had run for president. He has served as deputy president for 10 years, but fell out with President Uhuru Kenyatta, who backed Mr Odinga to succeed him. The 77-year-old former prime minister, who got 48.8% of the vote, was running for president for the fifth time. Electoral commission chairman Wafula Chebukati said he had done his duty despite receiving threats. "We have walked the journey of ensuring that Kenyans get a free, fair and credible election. It has not been an easy journey - right now two of my commissioners and the CEO are injured," he said. In his speech, President-elect Ruto thanked the electoral commission for overseeing the election. "It is a wonderful evening… all sovereign power belongs to the people of Kenya," Mr Ruto said, calling Mr Chebukati a "hero" and dismissing the other commissioners' dissent of his win as "a side show". Mr Ruto said he wanted to be a president of all, and for the country to focus on the future. "To those who have done many things against us, I want to tell them there's nothing to fear. There will be no vengeance. We do not have the luxury to look back," he added. Celebrations have broken out in several parts of the country, including in Mr Ruto's strongholds of the Rift Valley, and that of his deputy Rigathi Gachagua, in the Central region. Supporters of Mr Odinga have staged protests in the western city of Kisumu and some parts of Nairobi. But generally there's a sense of relief that the result has finally been declared because the country had ground into a halt since election day on 9 August, economic activities had stalled and schools remain closed. Kenya's history of disputed elections in the past have led to violence or the whole process election being cancelled. Following the 2007 vote, at least 1,200 people were killed and 600,000 fled their homes following claims of a stolen election. Hustler vs dynasty In a country fond of political metaphors, Mr Ruto's stunning victory is akin to his party's modest symbol, the wheelbarrow, running a seven-tonne tractor off the road. Mr Odinga had the backing of the state machinery. Several opinion polls, which Mr Ruto had dismissed as fake, predicted his rival would win. As the deputy president for the last 10 years he was, by default, an establishment candidate but he ran as an outsider, framing the election as between "hustlers" - poor Kenyans - and "dynasties" - influential families like the Kenyattas and Odingas who have been big players in the country's politics since independence. "I may be the son of a nobody but I promise to make Kenya the country of everybody," he said in his pitch to voters. His political stock rose when he opposed an unpo[CENSORED]r and costly year-long push by Mr Kenyatta and Mr Odinga to change the constitution at a time many Kenyans were suffering, including losing jobs, following the protracted impact of the Covid-19 pandemic. The Supreme Court eventually ruled the move unconstitutional, buoying Mr Ruto's campaign. He also framed the election as a time for generational change, selling his message using pithy and relatable slogans, which lent him credibility and appeal across several communities. Mr Ruto's win is rightly the focus of Kenya's 2022 election, but equal attention should be given to the electoral commission which came into this poll with a terrible track record, but its decision to post results from the more than 46,000 polling stations on its website - accessible to anyone who wanted to do their own tally - allowed the media and the public to be part of the process. The leaders of Zimbabwe, Ethiopia and Somalia have congratulated Mr Ruto. Analysts believe that Mr Odinga is likely to challenge the result. The Kenyan Supreme Court annulled the last election - it might have to make another big decision in a few weeks. https://www.bbc.com/news/world-africa-62554210

The saber-winged hummingbird had only been seen twice. It took more than a decade for researchers to hear his song again. Twelve years ago, the Santa Marta saber-wing hummingbird perched on a researcher's mist net. That was the last time he was seen. Since then, in the last 12 years, it was believed to be extinct. Until now. The emerald green blue-throated hummingbird is one of the most sought-after birds in the world, according to Birdlife International, along with the Himalayan Quail and the Cuban Kite. "We must find them before they become extinct," says the institution. The saber wing was discovered in 1946. However, the species has been so elusive for researchers and sighting fans, that it was not until 2010 when it was recorded with certainty through its song and a photograph in the El Dorado Reserve. , which are kept public on the eBird documentation site. In July this year, the bird thought lost in the wild finally reappeared and was photographed perched on a branch singing. The image was captured by Yurgen Vega, who was studying endemic birds in the forests of Sierra Nevada, in Santa Marta, in an unprotected area. We suggest: This is how the Andean condor lives, the iconic South American bird that is in danger of extinction "It's like seeing a ghost" The observer, as he narrated, was about to leave the place, when he saw the brightness of a male of this species. The bird remained calm for a long time, which allowed his record to remain in photographs and videos, and allowed Vega to listen to his song. “IT IS SO AMAZING TO SEE PHOTOS AND VIDEOS OF THE SANTA MARTA SABERWING,” JOHN MITTERMEIER, AMERICAN BIRD CONSERVANCY'S DIRECTOR OF ENDANGERED SPECIES OUTREACH, SAID IN A RELEASE. "IT'S LIKE SEEING A GHOST." For years, enthusiasts came to the habitat of this species in search of confirming its existence, hearing it sing and capturing the moment. This bird is quite large for a hummingbird, its emerald green plumage shines, it has a curved black bill and a blue neck. According to Birdlife, this bird is the rarest and most endangered of the 22 species identified in this Endemic Bird Area. “COULD STILL BE PRESENT GIVEN HABITAT REMAINS, BUT ANY SURVIVING PO[CENSORED]TION IS LIKELY TO BE SMALL AND DECREASE AS FORESTS AND ESPECIALLY OPEN PARAMO VEGETATION ABOVE TREE LINE CONTINUE TO BE DESTROYED, FRAGMENTED AND DEGRADED”, MENTIONS THE DESCRIPTION OF THE ORGANIZATION. The habitat of this species is currently threatened by agriculture, as are some 22 endemic species that have been sighted in this Colombian region. https://www.ngenespanol.com/animales/colibri-ala-de-sable-el-ave-casi-extinta-reaparece-en-colombia/

When you arrive at Kabul International Airport, the first thing you notice is the women, clothed in brown scarves and black cloaks, stamping passports. An airfield, which one year ago was the scene of a panicked tide of people desperate to escape, is now much quieter and cleaner. Rows of white Taliban flags flutter in a summer's breeze - billboards of the old famous faces have been painted over. What lies beyond this gateway to a country which was turned upside down by a swift Taliban takeover? Kabul, where women are told to give their jobs to men The messages are startling, to say the least. "They want me to give my job to my brother," writes one woman on a messaging platform. "We earned our positions with our experience and education… if we accept this it means we have betrayed ourselves," declares another. I'm sitting down with a few former senior civil servants from the finance ministry who share their messages. They're part of a group of more than 60 women, many from the Afghanistan Revenue Directorate, who banded together after being ordered to go home last August. They say Taliban officials then told them: Send CVs of your male relatives who can apply for your jobs. "This is my job," insists one woman who, like all women in this group, anxiously asks for her identity to be hidden. "I worked with so much difficulty for more than 17 years to get this job and finish my master's degree. Now we are back to zero." On a telephone call from outside Afghanistan, we're joined by Amina Ahmady, former director general of the Directorate. She's managed to leave, but that's not a way out either. "We are losing our identity," she laments. "The only place we can keep it is in our own country." Their group's grand title - "Women Leaders of Afghanistan" - gives them strength; what they want is their jobs. They're the women who seized new spaces for education and job opportunities during two decades of international engagement which ended with Taliban rule. Taliban officials say women are still working. Those who do are mainly medical staff, educators and security workers including at the airport - spaces where women frequent. The Taliban also emphasise that women, who once held about a quarter of the government's jobs, are still being paid - albeit a small fraction of their salary. A former civil servant tells me how she was stopped on the street by a Talib guard who criticised her Islamic head cover, or hijab, although she was fully covered. "You've got more important problems to solve than hijab," she shot back - another moment of women's determination to to fight for their rights, within Islam. Fears of famine weigh on rural Ghor The scene seems idyllic. Sheaves of golden wheat shimmer in a summer's sun in the remote central highlands of Afghanistan. You can hear a gentle lowing of cows. Eighteen-year-old Noor Mohammad and 25-year-old Ahmad keep swinging their sickles to clear a remaining patch of grain. "There's much less wheat this year because of drought," Noor remarks, sweat and dirt streaking his young face. "But it's the only job I could find." A harvested field stretches into the distance behind us. It's been 10 days of backbreaking work by two men in the prime of their life for the equivalent of $2 (£1.65) a day. "I was studying electrical engineering but had to drop out to support my family," he explains. His regret is palpable. Ahmad's story is just as painful. "I sold my motorbike to go to Iran but I couldn't find work," he explains. Seasonal work in neighbouring Iran used to be an answer for those in one of Afghanistan's poorest province. But work has dried up in Iran too. "We welcome our Taliban brothers," Noor says. "But we need a government which gives us opportunities." Earlier that day, we sat around a shiny pine table with Ghor's provincial cabinet of turbaned men seated alongside Taliban Governor Ahmad Shah Din Dost. A former-shadow deputy governor during the war, he gruffly shares all his woes. "All these problems make me sad," he says, listing poverty, bad roads, lack of access to hospitals and schools not operating properly. The end of the war means more aid agencies are now working here, including in districts out-of-bounds before. Earlier this year, famine conditions were detected in two of Ghor's most distant districts. But the war isn't over for Governor Din Dost. He says he was imprisoned and tortured by US forces. "Don't give us more pain," he asserts. "We don't need help from the West." "Why is the West always interfering?" he demands. "We don't question how you treat your women or men." In the days that follow, we visit a school and a malnutrition clinic, accompanied by members of his team. "Afghanistan needs attention," says the Taliban's young university-educated Health Director Abdul Satar Mafaq who seems to sound a more pragmatic note. "We have to save people's lives and it doesn't need to involve politics." I remember what Noor Mohammad told me in the wheat field. "Poverty and famine is also a fight and it's bigger than the gunfights." Star student shut out of class in Herat Eighteen-year-old Sohaila is fizzing with excitement. I follow her down a darkened stairwell into the basement floor of the women-only market in Herat, the ancient western city long known for its more open culture, its science and creativity. It's the first day this bazaar is open - the Taliban shuttered it last year, Covid-19 the year before. We peer through the glass frontage of her family's dress shop which isn't ready yet. A row of sewing machines sits in the corner, red heart balloons hang from the ceiling. "Ten years ago, my sister started this shop when she was 18 years old," Sohaila tells me, sharing a capsule history of her mother and grandmother's stitching of brightly-patterned traditional Kuchi dresses. Her sister had also opened an internet club and a restaurant too. There's a quiet hum of activity in this women's only space. Some are stocking their shelves, others gossiping as they linger over jewellery and embroidered garb. The premises are poorly lit, but in this gloom, there's a shaft of light for women who've spent all too much time just sitting at home. Sohaila has another story to share. "The Taliban have closed the high schools," she remarks, matter-of-fact, about something that has enormous consequences for young ambitious teenagers like her. Most secondary schools are shut, on orders of the Taliban's top ultra-conservative clerics, even though many Afghans, including Taliban members, have called for them to re-open. "I'm in grade 12 - if I don't graduate I can't go to university." I ask her whether she can be the Sohaila she wants to be in Afghanistan. "Of course", she declares confidently. "It's my country and I don't want to go to another country." But a year without school must have been hard. "It's not just me, it's all the girls of Afghanistan" she remarks stoically. "It's a sad memory..." Her voice trails off as she breaks down in tears. "I was the top student." https://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-62535300

What was the best phone of 2020? That's a question people keep asking us. It has been a tough year all around but that hasn't stopped smartphone manufacturers from releasing pretty awesome products. Most of the smartphones we've tested this year have been good and worth recommending, irrespective of their pricing. However, this also makes our job harder when it comes to picking the best of the best. To come up with the best smartphones of 2020, we've broken it up into the most po[CENSORED]r categories and chosen a winner in each of them. The winners are not necessarily the most expensive flagships (although a few are) but rather smartphones that do a particular task exceedingly well compared to the competition. Let's begin. Best gaming smartphone 2020: Asus ROG Phone 3 Technically, any smartphone with a 700-series Qualcomm SoC, or a G8x and above MediaTek SoC can be considered suitable for gaming since even demanding titles are very playable on such devices. However, what sets the best gaming smartphone apart from others are gaming-specific features that could give you a tactical advantage if you ever decide to game competitively. For such occasions, only one name really stood out this year and that is the Asus ROG Phone 3 (Review). Asus managed to improve upon the already successful formula of the ROG Phone 2, by making this third revision sleeker and even more powerful. It's one of the few phones we had in India with the Qualcomm Snapdragon 865+ SoC, which was the most powerful chip available for Android phones in 2020. The gaming-specific features of the Asus ROG Phone 3 included a superb AMOLED display with a 144Hz refresh rate, enhanced cooling, cutting-edge RAM and storage technologies, more feature-rich AirTriggers, a variety of accessories, and of course, RGB lighting. Other than the excellent gaming features, the Asus ROG Phone 3 performed general-purpose duties very well too, offering very good battery life and cameras to boot. https://gadgets360.com/mobiles/guide/best-smartphones-2020-india-battery-gaming-cameras-performance-price-2336675
