Does this wolf want to play-or attack? Take a close look at its face | Science | AAAS - 0 views
-
Many contemporary studies have used methods designed to study dogs—a poor proxy, as our furry friends have fewer facial expressions than their ancestors.
-
(These techniques have previously been used to study facial expressions in cats.)
-
These expressions were common to all of the gray, arctic, and Canadian wolf packs the researchers observed.

Ants perform life saving operations - the only animal other than humans known to do so ... - 0 views

In experiments, they observed that the ants treated their nest members' femur injuries by cleaning the wound with their mouths before amputating the leg by repeatedly biting it, while the tibia wounds were treated with just cleaning.
-
The scientists are now extending their research to other ant species that don't possess special antimicrobial glands to see if other ants have the ability to perform surgeries.
