WILD LIFE: In chimpanzees, females contribute to the protection of the territory. Researchers have extensively studied several neighboring groups of western chimpanzees and their findings reveal that females and even the entire group may play a more important role in between-group competition than previously thought.



 They found that even though adult males seem important in territory increase, territory maintenance and competitive advantage over neighbors act through the entire group in this population of chimpanzees in the Taï National Park.


 In humans, warfare and territoriality have traditionally been considered male "business." Chimpanzees, with whom we share this propensity for out-group hostility and territoriality, are thought to follow the same gender difference.

Tiger befriends goat instead of eating it!!!

Animal activists have reportedly called on an animal park in Russia to separate a goat from a tiger that befriended it instead of eating it.The goat, since named Timur, was given to the tiger Amur (another name for Siberian tigers) as live food.The Far Eastern Safari Park, in the Primorsky region bordering the Sea of Japan and North Korea, said it gives predators twice-weekly meals of live animals."Tiger Amur knows very well how to hunt goats and rabbits," a keeper told the Siberian Times."But recently he came across a goat that he refused to hunt."Instead, Timur chased Amur out of his sleeping quarters, banishing him to sleeping on the shelter's roof. watch video here; http://www.abc.net.au/news/2015-11-29/separate-tiger-and-goat-fans-urge/6984212

CLAY AND VETERINARY PRACTICE.

A lot of protocols come in handy when treating animals, from the conventional to the very unconventional and all works well.The holistic,alternative,herbal practice are just some of the medical interventions used.Acupuncture is also another area of practice,where needles are stuck into different body parts to relieve certain pains associated with certain diseases.This works on the theory that different sectors of the body have receptors that actually governs certain body function/metabolism ,thus these areas are prodded with needles. Bonding with glue is another common protocol, use of water resistant bonds to fix tortoise shell is also fairly common. Vets are really dynamic bringing so many properties to play in practice[ see how vets used CLAY to save an elephant's foot;http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-3129674/Baby-elephant-died-caught-poacher-s-snare-Kenya-saved-vets-pack-severely-injured-foot-CLAY.html
