Testosterone is seen as the hormone that male animals and humans posses to make them bigger and stronger. This week it hasn't been newly identified as the female meerkats special advantage. The females can produce more testosterone than the males. This breed of meerkats are located in the southern tip of Africa .
Personally I think this is amazing. Ive only been taught in my life that males are the only ones that posses testosterone so learning otherwise Is amazing. It's very interesting that the women produce more than the males. I wonder if there are any other similiar animals that have women dominant in the production.

The Giant panda is no longer endangered. The Giant panda originates from the Chinese bamboo forests. Many foundations have taken the Giant Panda and made it their goal to advertise it. For example the World Wildlife Fund has made the Giant Panda their poster animal. Because of this awareness that has been spread from these companies, the population of the pandas have increased by 17% since 2014. This percentage increase has been considered a huge improvement because of the 50 years of endangerment. however just because the giant Panda has avoided extinction this does not mean the community should just stop taking conservative measures. The panda still needs a safety net so they don't start to go extinct again. I believe the Giant panda population rise is a huge triumph. The pandas are a very cute species that deserve to stay alive. The hunting of them is uncalled for. Also the ruining of their forests are is horrible and needs to stop entirely not just partially. I hope to see the population increase even more within the next couple of years. Scientists have started to wonder if microscopic plastic particles are released when we wash our clothes in the washer and dryer. This thought has been a theory for a long time since there has been no physical proof that has been seen. When the professor from Plymouth, Richard Thompson looked at the mass, quantity, and size of fibers that are in the water that is left after using the washer, he change the wonder into a fact. He discovered that 700,000 microscopic fibers drain down the washer creating a threat for the ecosystem. these fibers adsorb toxins and are easily ingested by animals. researchers are searching for ways to reduce this release. Who knew that just washing your clothes is harming the environment. This is not a known problem and i think it should be announced more so people are more aware of what they are placing into thei environment. |
