Alaska: "Like a hurricane": Moose fight destroys women's yard 阿拉斯加：“像飓风一样”：驼鹿打斗摧毁了妇女的院子

"Like a hurricane": Moose fight destroys women's yard

CTV News on Youtube has the story.

Two moose wrought havoc at a home in Homer, Alaska, getting into a bloody fight that caused significant damage to a woman’s yard and car.

The so-called animal: "moose" or "elk" is the only species in the genus Alces. The moose is the tallest and second-largest land mammal in North America, only falling short of the American buffalo in terms of mass. It is the largest and heaviest extant species of deer. Most adult male moose have distinctive broad, palmate ("open-hand shaped") antlers; most other members of the deer family have antlers with a dendritic ("twig-like") configuration. Moose typically inhabit boreal forests and temperate broadleaf and mixed forests of the Northern Hemisphere in temperate to subarctic climates. Hunting and other human activities have caused a reduction in the size of the moose's range over time. It has been reintroduced to some of its former habitats. Currently, most moose occur in Canada, Alaska, New England (with Maine having the most of the contiguous United States), New York State, Fennoscandia, the Baltic states, Poland, Kazakhstan, and Russia.

The moose food diet consists of both terrestrial and aquatic vegetation. Predators of moose include wolves, bears, humans, wolverines (rarely), and (while swimming in the ocean) orcas. Unlike most other deer species, moose do not form herds and are solitary animals, aside from calves who remain with their mother until the cow begins estrus (typically at 18 months after birth of the calf), at which point the cow chases them away. Although generally slow-moving and sedentary, moose can become aggressive, and move quickly if angered or startled. Their mating season in the autumn indeed features energetic fights between males competing for a female.

What are extant animals:

Extant describes species that DO exist. Virtually every creature you hear about on Something Wild is extant. Extinct and extant are opposites, leaving extirpation somewhere in the middle. Biologists use extirpated to describe species that no longer exist in a specific region.

“像飓风一样”：驼鹿打斗摧毁了妇女的院子

YouTube 上的 CTV 新闻报道了这个故事。

两只驼鹿在阿拉斯加荷马的一处住宅中造成严重破坏，发生了一场血腥的战斗，对一名妇女的院子和汽车造成了严重损坏。

所谓动物：“驼鹿”或“麋鹿”是驼鹿属中唯一的物种。 驼鹿是北美最高、第二大的陆地哺乳动物，仅在体重方面仅次于美洲水牛。 它是现存最大、最重的鹿种。 大多数成年雄性驼鹿都有独特的宽阔掌状（“张开手形”）鹿角； 鹿科的大多数其他成员的鹿角呈树枝状（“树枝状”）结构。 驼鹿通常栖息在北半球温带至亚北极气候的北方森林和温带阔叶林和混交林中。 随着时间的推移，狩猎和其他人类活动导致驼鹿的活动范围缩小。 它已被重新引入其一些以前的栖息地。 目前，大多数驼鹿分布在加拿大、阿拉斯加、新英格兰（缅因州占据美国本土大部分地区）、纽约州、芬诺斯坎迪亚、波罗的海国家、波兰、哈萨克斯坦和俄罗斯。

驼鹿的食物包括陆地和水生植物。 驼鹿的天敌包括狼、熊、人类、狼獾（很少）和逆戟鲸（在海里游泳时）。 与大多数其他鹿种不同，驼鹿不形成群体，是独居动物，除了小牛一直和母亲待在一起，直到母牛开始发情（通常在小牛出生后 18 个月），此时母牛会将它们赶走。 虽然驼鹿通常行动缓慢且久坐，但它会变得具有攻击性，并且在愤怒或受惊时会快速移动。 它们在秋季的交配季节确实以雄性之间争夺雌性的激烈战斗为特色。

China Zoo: Bear claimed to be "human in disguise" waves at zoo-goers 中國動物園：熊自稱“偽裝的人類”向動物園遊客揮手

The Telegraph on Youtube has the story.

A bear that became a social media celebrity after visitors claimed it looked like a “human in disguise” has been filmed appearing to wave at zoo-goers. 

Some 20,000 visitors are heading to Hangzhou Zoo in eastern China every day - an increase of almost a third - since the sun bear, known as Angela, went viral.

Footage has now emerged of the bear standing on its hind legs waving its right paw to the people gathered around its enclosure.

The so-called sun bear (Helarctos malayanus) is a species in the family Ursidae (the only species in the genus Helarctos) occurring in the tropical forests of Southeast Asia. It is the smallest bear, standing nearly 70 cm (28 in) at the shoulder and weighing 25–65 kg (55–143 lb). It is stockily built, with large paws, strongly curved claws, small, rounded ears and a short snout. The fur is generally jet black, but can vary from grey to red. The sun bear really gets its name from its characteristic colorful orange to cream-coloured chest patch. Its unique morphology—inward-turned front feet, flattened chest, powerful forelimbs with large claws—suggests adaptations for climbing.

The most arboreal (tree-living) of all bears, the sun bear is an excellent climber and sunbathes or sleeps in trees 2 to 7 m (7 to 23 ft) above the ground. It is mainly active during the day, though nocturnality might be more common in areas frequented by humans. Sun bears tend to remain solitary, but sometimes occur in twos (such as a mother and her cub). They do not seem to hibernate, possibly because food resources are available the whole year throughout the range. Being omnivores, sun bears' diet includes ants, bees, beetles, honey, termites, and plant material such as seeds and several kinds of fruits; vertebrates such as certain birds and deer are also eaten occasionally. They breed throughout the year; individuals become sexually mature at two to four years of age. Litters comprise one or two cubs that remain with their mother for around three years.

The range of the sun bear is bounded by northeastern India to the north then south to southeast through Bangladesh, Cambodia, Myanmar, Laos, Thailand, and Vietnam in mainland Asia to Brunei, Indonesia, and Malaysia to the south. These bears are threatened by heavy deforestation and illegal hunting for food and the wildlife trade; they are also harmed in conflicts with various humans when they enter farmlands, plantations, and orchards. The global population is estimated to have declined by 35% since the 1990s. The IUCN has listed this species as vulnerable.

YouTube 上的《電訊報》報導了這個故事。

一隻熊因遊客聲稱它看起來像“喬裝打扮的人類”而成為社交媒體名人，有人拍到它似乎在向動物園遊客揮手。

自從太陽熊“安吉拉”走紅以來，每天約有 2 萬名遊客前往中國東部的杭州動物園，這一數字增加了近三分之一。

現在出現的視頻顯示，這隻熊用後腿站立，向聚集在其圍欄周圍的人們揮舞著右爪。

所謂的馬來熊 (Helarctos malayanus) 是熊科 (Helarctos) 中的一個物種（Helarctos 屬中的唯一物種），生活在東南亞的熱帶森林中。 它是最小的熊，站立時肩高近 70 厘米（28 英寸），體重 25-65 公斤（55-143 磅）。 它體格粗壯，爪子很大，爪子彎曲得很厲害，耳朵又小又圓，鼻子很短。 皮毛通常是深黑色，但也可以從灰色到紅色。 太陽熊的名字來源於它特有的橙色到奶油色的胸前斑塊。 它獨特的形態——內翻的前腳、扁平的胸部、強大的前肢和大爪子——表明它適應攀爬。

太陽熊是所有熊類中最喜歡樹棲（在樹上生活）的動物，是出色的攀爬者，在距地面 2 至 7 m（7 至 23 英尺）的樹上曬日光浴或睡覺。 它主要在白天活動，儘管夜間活動在人類經常光顧的地區可能更常見。 太陽熊往往獨居，但有時也會成雙成對（例如母親和她的幼崽）。 它們似乎不會冬眠，可能是因為整個範圍內全年都有食物資源。 作為雜食動物，馬來熊的食物包括螞蟻、蜜蜂、甲蟲、蜂蜜、白蟻以及植物材料，例如種子和幾種水果； 偶爾也會吃某些鳥類和鹿等脊椎動物。 它們全年繁殖； 個體在兩到四歲時性成熟。 一窩幼崽包括一兩隻幼崽，它們會和母親一起生活大約三年。

太陽熊的活動範圍北起印度東北部，然後南至東南，穿過亞洲大陸的孟加拉國、柬埔寨、緬甸、老撾、泰國和越南，南至文萊、印度尼西亞和馬來西亞。 這些熊受到嚴重森林砍伐、非法狩獵和野生動物貿易的威脅； 當它們進入農田、種植園和果園時，它們也會在與各種人類的衝突中受到傷害。 自 20 世紀 90 年代以來，全球人口估計已減少 35%。 世界自然保護聯盟已將該物種列為易危物種。

Orangutan understands 72 words! Extraordinary Animals on Earth! 猩猩听懂72个单词！ 地球上非凡的动物！

This smart animal could be smart enough to go to outer space.

BBC Earth on Youtube shows: Azy the Orangutan communicates with his tutor via symbols and can even use verbs!

The world is an amazing place full of stories, beauty and natural wonder. At BBC EARTH, you will find 50 years worth of astounding, entertaining, thought-provoking and educational natural history content.

So-called "Orangutans" are really great apes native to the rainforests of Indonesia and Malaysia. They are now found only in parts of Borneo and Sumatra, but during the Pleistocene they ranged throughout Southeast Asia and South China. Classified in the genus Pongo, orangutans were originally considered to be one species. From 1996, they were divided into two species: the Bornean orangutan (P. pygmaeus, with three subspecies) and the Sumatran orangutan (P. abelii). A third species, the Tapanuli orangutan (P. tapanuliensis), was identified definitively in 2017. The orangutans are the only surviving species of the subfamily Ponginae, which diverged genetically from the other hominids (gorillas, chimpanzees, and humans) between 19.3 and 15.7 million years ago.

The most arboreal of the great apes, orangutans spend most of their time in trees. They have proportionally long arms and short legs, and have reddish-brown hair covering their bodies. Adult males weigh about 75 kg (165 lb), while females reach about 37 kg (82 lb). Dominant adult males develop distinctive cheek pads or flanges and make long calls that attract females and intimidate rivals; younger subordinate males do not and more resemble adult females. Orangutans are the most solitary of the great apes: social bonds occur primarily between mothers and their dependent offspring. Fruit is the most important component of an orangutan's diet; but they will also eat vegetation, bark, honey, insects and bird eggs. They can live over 30 years, both in the wild and in captivity.

Orangutans are certainly among the most intelligent primates. They use a variety of sophisticated tools and construct elaborate sleeping nests each night from branches and foliage. The apes' learning abilities have been studied extensively. There may be distinctive cultures within populations. Orangutans have been featured in literature and art since at least the 18th century, particularly in works that comment on human society. Field studies of the apes were pioneered by primatologist Birutė Galdikas and they have been kept in captive facilities around the world since at least the early 19th century.

Which is smartest of the apes? Deemed really some of the smartest apes on the planet, orangutans are exceptional creatures with expressive faces. Overall, the species considered most intelligent among the ape species, apart from humans, are orangutans. A few methods and ideas build this foundational thought on which species are the smartest.

More facts:

Which is smarter: gorilla or chimp? Though the chimpanzees are smaller in size they have bigger brains than the mountain gorillas hence making them more intelligent than the gorillas. This makes the chimpanzees more clever and tricky animals than the mountain gorillas.

Difference between apes and monkeys? The easiest way to distinguish between a monkey or an ape is to see if it has a tail. Almost all monkeys have tails, while apes do not. Also take note of the primate's body shape, size, and other physical attributes. Apes are generally larger with wider chests and almost naked faces.

Apes are generally more intelligent than monkeys, and most species of apes exhibit some use of tools. While both monkeys and apes can use sounds and gestures to communicate, apes have demonstrated higher ability with language, and some individual apes have been trained to learn human sign languages.

African Gray Parrots are thought to be one of the most intelligent species on the planet, rivaling even apes. Some researchers have suggested that these certain parrots have a reasoning ability akin to a three- or four-year-old human child.

What is the friendliest primate to humans? Bonobo apes are kind to strangers. According to the study, bonobos will go out of their way to help strangers - even when there is no guarantee of any payback.

Gorillas are the largest apes (not monkeys!) and the strongest primate, known for their impressive strength. These powerful animals weigh up to 200 kg, and can lift almost 2,000 kg - 10 times their body weight.

Which animal has the lowest IQ? Ostriches. The bird species dominate the list of animals with low intelligence, including the ostrich, despite being the largest bird. Ostriches have small brains that weigh only 26.34 grams, making up about 0.015% of their body weight.

Which animal has 32 brains? Leech: Leech is an annelid. Leech's external and internal segmentation do not correspond to each other. If the internal body is examined, it can be seen that the body is divided into 32 parts or segments which have their own corresponding brain.

Who would win in a fight: orangutan vs gorilla? Gorillas are really far better fighters and far more capable of inflicting fatal trauma on enemies. An orangutan might escape a gorilla by climbing trees, but that is not going to defeat the gorilla.

Humans have bodies that are genetically and structurally very similar to those of the Great Apes and so we are classified in the Great Apes sub-group which is also known as the hominids (Family Hominidae).

Pound for pound, humans are definitely the weakest apes. Muscle fibers come in two varieties, fast-twitch and slow-twitch. The fast twitch muscles act faster (obviously) and exert more force in less time.

Which rarest great ape on earth could soon go extinct? Tapanuli orangutans. Less than 800 Tapanuli orangutans remain confined to the small mountainous region of Batang Toru in North Sumatra, Indonesia.

An unarmed human could not beat a chimpanzee in a fight. This may work for the biggest, strongest humans, but certainly not the average ones.

Who wins in a fight: a baboon or a chimpanzee? A chimpanzee is really much stronger than a baboon given that a chimpanzee is much larger, sometimes even twice as large, since only a handful of baboons weigh more than about 50 pounds, while a chimpanzee weighs about 70 to 100 pounds.

Interestingly, the fascinating name "orangutan" (also written orang-utan, orang utan, orangutang, and ourang-outang) is derived from the Malay words orang, meaning "person", and hutan, meaning "forest". The locals originally used the name to refer to actual forest-dwelling human beings, but the word underwent a semantic extension to include apes of the Pongo genus at an early stage in the history of Malay.

这种聪明的动物可能聪明到可以去外太空。

YouTube 上的 BBC Earth 节目显示：猩猩 Azy 通过符号与他的导师交流，甚至可以使用动词！

世界是一个充满故事、美丽和自然奇观的神奇地方。 在 BBC EARTH，您将发现 50 年来令人惊叹、有趣、发人深省且具有教育意义的自然历史内容。

所谓的“猩猩”实际上是原产于印度尼西亚和马来西亚雨林的类人猿。 它们现在仅分布在婆罗洲和苏门答腊岛的部分地区，但在更新世期间，它们的分布范围遍及东南亚和华南地区。 猩猩属于猩猩属，最初被认为是一个物种。 从1996年起，它们被分为两个物种：婆罗洲猩猩（P. pygmaeus，有3个亚种）和苏门答腊猩猩（P. abelii）。 第三个物种是塔巴努里猩猩 (P. tapanuliensis)，于 2017 年得到最终确认。猩猩是猩猩亚科中唯一幸存的物种，与其他原始人类（大猩猩、黑猩猩和人类）在基因上的分歧在 19.3 到 15.7 之间。 万年前。

猩猩是最喜欢树栖的类人猿，大部分时间都在树上度过。 它们的手臂很长，腿很短，全身覆盖着红棕色的毛发。 成年雄性体重约为 75 公斤（165 磅），而雌性体重约为 37 公斤（82 磅）。 占主导地位的成年雄性会长出独特的脸颊垫或凸缘，并发出长长的叫声来吸引雌性并恐吓竞争对手； 年轻的从属男性与成年女性不同，而且更相似。 红毛猩猩是类人猿中最孤独的一种：社会纽带主要发生在母亲及其受抚养的后代之间。 水果是猩猩饮食中最重要的组成部分。 但它们也会吃植物、树皮、蜂蜜、昆虫和鸟蛋。 无论是在野外还是在圈养条件下，它们的寿命都可以超过 30 年。

猩猩无疑是最聪明的灵长类动物之一。 它们使用各种复杂的工具，每晚用树枝和树叶建造精致的睡眠巢穴。 猿类的学习能力已被广泛研究。 人群中可能存在独特的文化。 至少从 18 世纪起，猩猩就出现在文学和艺术中，尤其是评论人类社会的作品中。 对类人猿的实地研究是由灵长类动物学家 Birutė Galdikas 开创的，至少从 19 世纪初开始，它们就被饲养在世界各地的圈养设施中。

猿类中哪一个最聪明？ 猩猩被认为是地球上最聪明的猿类，它们是有着富有表情的面孔的特殊生物。 总体而言，除了人类之外，猿类中最聪明的物种是猩猩。 一些方法和想法构建了关于哪些物种最聪明的基本思想。

更多事实：

大猩猩和黑猩猩哪个更聪明？ 尽管黑猩猩体型较小，但它们的大脑比山地大猩猩更大，因此它们比大猩猩更聪明。 这使得黑猩猩比山地大猩猩更加聪明和狡猾。

猿和猴的区别？ 区分猴子或猿的最简单方法是看它是否有尾巴。 几乎所有的猴子都有尾巴，而猿类则没有。 还要注意灵长类动物的体形、大小和其他身体特征。 猿类通常体型较大，胸部更宽，脸部几乎裸露。

猿类通常比猴子更聪明，并且大多数猿类都表现出一定的工具使用能力。 虽然猴子和类人猿都可以使用声音和手势进行交流，但类人猿表现出了更高的语言能力，并且一些类人猿个体已经接受过学习人类手语的训练。

非洲灰鹦鹉被认为是地球上最聪明的物种之一，甚至可以与猿类相媲美。 一些研究人员认为，这些某些鹦鹉具有类似于三四岁人类儿童的推理能力。

对人类最友好的灵长类动物是什么？ 倭黑猩猩对陌生人很友善。 根据这项研究，倭黑猩猩会不遗余力地帮助陌生人——即使不能保证任何回报。

大猩猩是最大的猿类（不是猴子！），也是最强壮的灵长类动物，以其令人印象深刻的力量而闻名。 这些强大的动物重达 200 公斤，可以举起近 2,000 公斤的物体——是它们体重的 10 倍。

什么动物的智商最低？ 鸵鸟。 尽管鸵鸟是最大的鸟类，但它们在智力低下的动物名单中占据主导地位，其中包括鸵鸟。 鸵鸟的大脑很小，仅重26.34克，约占其体重的0.015%。

哪种动物有32个大脑？ 水蛭：水蛭是环节动物。 Leech的外部和内部分割彼此不对应。 如果检查身体内部，可以看到身体分为32个部分或节段，每个部分或节段都有各自相应的大脑。

Shanghai Great Yellow Cat catches fish very easily

This beautiful Shanghai Great Yellow Cat sure catches fish very easily.  The joke is, this is how the cat maintains its orange. Cats sure seem to hate to get inside the wet water, but they love to fish like this. I guess this hunt was too easy for this cat, too many fish in the water there. The fantastic cat ran away before someone tries to throw the fish back or something like that.

Cats are carnivores, so they need a source of animal protein (such as fish) to be in good optimal health. Many cats love tasty fish. However, it is not an acceptable food for everyday daily feeding. Fish contains high levels of fatty acids, which can lead to a vitamin E deficiency in certain cats and painful conditions.
