Orca: Two Different Species?
For several decades, researchers have acknowledged the existence of three distinct killer whale ecotypes in the world's oceans: the fish-eating residents, the mammal-eating transients, and the offshore killer whales that feed primarily on sharks in the open ocean. In the Pacific Northwest, researchers have extensively studied both resident and transient killer whale populations, particularly their cultural practices related to hunting. Recently, there has been a scientific debate about whether these two killer whale populations belong to the same species but exhibit different hunting abilities or make up separate species. A new study published in The Royal Society Open Science on March 27, 2024, suggests that these two killer whale populations may indeed be distinct species.

Giant Pandas to Resume Presence in United States Zoos
In November 2023, the prestigious National Zoo returned its three remaining giant panda residents to their ancestral home in China, marking the end of a five-decade-long legacy. Atlanta's Zoo is now the only American institution to house a giant panda family, but this loan is expected to conclude within the year, requiring the return of the four endangered bears to China. This would be the first time since 1972 that no American zoo has housed giant pandas, signaling a turning point in panda diplomacy.

Tips For Surviving A Wild Animal Attack
The first animal is the shark. There are many shark species, but the most dangerous are the great white sharks. A shark is unlikely to be bothered with killing you because it dislikes the taste of people. Instead, it will most likely take a chunk of muscle from your hip or abdomen, and if that breaks an artery, you will most likely bleed to death. If you go swimming in a shark-infested area, avoid urinating or bleeding into the water because the smell of blood or urine can attract sharks.
