One of the world's oldest elephant bone tools has been discovered in the UK! 🐘

The ancient hammer would have been used to sharpen handaxes and other tools that prehistoric humans were using to hunt and butcher animals.

In Ecuador, the Kichwa Sani Isla community and fStop Foundation are using high-resolution camera traps — some 40 meters up in the canopy — to document local wildlife.

Since Feb, they’ve recorded at least six jaguars, signalling a healthy ecosystem. Ecotourism at Sani Lodge helps protect the forest.

On an expedition to a remote Peruvian reserve to search for a squirrel last seen 30 years ago, researcher Silvia Pavan’s team instead discovered a new mouse opossum species, Marmosa chachapoya.

With reddish-brown fur and a narrow face, it highlights how understudied the eastern Andes remain.
Peru’s Río Abiseo park yields new marsupial, hinting at more undiscovered species
In 2018, Brazilian biologist Silvia Pavan traveled to Río Abiseo National Park, in Peru’s San Martín region, following the trail of a squirrel species first described from there in the 1990s. At the…
