🦫💍 A #Cambridge #University study used genetic #data to create a monogamy ranking of 35 mammal species, finding #humans at 66% full-sibling rates.
Humans ranked higher than #meerkats but below #beavers, with researchers noting monogamy likely evolved to enable paternal care and counter infanticide.
💁🏻♀️ ICYMI: 🐺📹 Researchers placed a camera in #Minnesota's boreal #forest along a small creek, unsure if #wolves would use the corridor.
Over a year later, they had captured 1,500 #wildlife videos documenting not just the Half-Moon Pack's travels, but #bears, #deer, fishers, pine martens, and snowshoe hares all using the same forest pathway.

The Storks, which nest on chimneys, treetops and platforms in villages and urban areas across Europe, had been extinct as breeding birds in Britain since 1416.

Beavers were brought to the desert to save a dying river. Six years later, here are the results.

This was in the second email I opened from a friend this morning. It may have made my day.

4. Fill in a nxn grid with n letters related n times with no two letters on the same row or column.
5. Dobble (scouts version).
If someone wants to run this on their #beavers or #squirrels unit, let me know and I'll make the activities public in OSM. I added the badges, etc
I it's Maths Week England this week and I ran algorithm based activities with my Beavers unit, blended into games.
1. Tell somoene how to build a lego they cannot see.
2. Pass water from a cup to someone else's cup with a syringe with the number of ml given by a die cast. The one with less water at the end wins.
3. Stick race. Add a stick to a line once per turn. They must figure out largest sticks will get them to win.

A biologist surveying an Oregon forest after a 2022 wildfire found devastation, including trout streams choked with ash.
But he then discovered a miraculous five-acre green oasis, created by eight beaver dams.
Astonishingly, the dams had acted as a natural water treatment plant, keeping the downstream water crystal clear and the trout population thriving amidst the destruction.
And for those who prefer to read over video, here’s a 2024 article from Audubon Magazine that focuses of the Alaskan part of the beavers’ expansion into the Arctic.
