There’s no 9-to-5 for female northern elephant seals. After the winter breeding season, the animals spend more than 19 hours and up to 24 hours per day hunting in the northern Pacific Ocean, killing up to 2000 small fish daily to survive, according to a new study of these elusive animals. The work, made possible by cameras and devices attached to the seals’ heads, could also help scientists monitor other deep-ocean life.
“This study is fascinating,” says Jeremy Goldbogen, a marine biologist at Stanford University who was not part of the research. “The advanced technology provides unprecedented levels of detail on where and when the elephant seals forage in a deep, dark ocean.”
Studies say some birds sense far away storms and alter their migration paths

mardi, 10 novembre 2020 à 09:19 - Studies suggest the birds may be using a combination of cloud observations, wind changes, and sounds undetectable by the human ear to predict the weather.
Migrating birds may be altering their travel patterns based on typhoon activity, according to a recent study by researchers at the Yamashina Institute for Ornithology in Japan.
For their paper, scientists analyzed data from tracking devices attached to six black-naped terns as they flew from Borneo to Sulawesi across the typhoon highway in the Philippine Sea.

This photo taken at the National Institute of Polar Research in Tachikawa, Tokyo, on April 15, 2021, shows a can of Coca-Cola that was found in Antarctica. (Mainichi/Yui Shuzo) TOKYO Japanese researchers stumbled upon a rare can of Coke and packs of chewing gum that had been frozen in Antarctica for more than 50 years, and have brought the items back to Japan. The Japanese Antarctic Research Expedition s wintering team discovered the can of Coca-Cola and Lotte Co. s Cool Mint Chewing Gum in September 2020. The items were taken to Antarctica by an expedition team more than half a century ago, and their rare package designs do not exist anymore. A ceremony to give the goods back to each manufacturer was held at the National Institute of Polar Research in the city of Tachikawa in Tokyo on April 15, and participants celebrated the return of the prod
