Why should you do a genetic test on your dog?
Genetic tests in humans are already a common reality to find out about preventable genetic diseases or even to find out the ethnic origin of our ancestors. For example, it is already common to analyze the presence of certain mutations in genes to understand the probability of a person to suffer from certain types of cancer. How could it be otherwise, these types of tests are beginning to be available for our fellow dogs and thus be able to give them better health.

A letter to a lost, furry friend
Dear Cooper, How are you? How is heaven treating you? It is now Thursday, as I am sitting at my desk writing this. You crossed the rainbow bridge on Monday. That was three days ago. That may seem close to a year ago in dog years. One human year is equal to seven dog years, for reference.

Voices from stray dogs
In this world, among all animals, only humans have a high degree of wisdom and intelligence, and over the centuries, humans have changed the world a lot, and have really achieved a certain degree of "changing the world"; because of this, humans have ruled the world comprehensively and completely trampled other animals under their feet, and have become the top of the natural food chain. At the same time, human beings have also left behind many valuable human qualities such as loyalty, civilization, and the most basic tolerance and tolerance. In contrast, the "dog", which appears in people's view from time to time and has been with them for years and years, has remained the same without the slightest change. This ironic scene does not cause us to think at all? We are too realistic ideology, some of the basic virtues are gradually lost, while the most valuable "loyalty" is not high intelligence, unobtrusive dogs, they just a little bit of food, a little care, a little tolerance, even if starving to live, still always.

The nature reserve with a 500-year plan
As I walk along a winding trail through Zealandia, an ecosanctuary in New Zealand's capital city of Wellington, I smell the wet earth from last night's rain, hear birds cackle and sing, and feel a slight chill from the cool breeze. Then, I see it: a streak of yellow landing on a tree branch high above. It's a stitchbird – a sparrow-sized songbird whose Māori name, hihi, refers to the rays of the sun.

How sea otters can fight climate change
Sea otters are creatures steeped in superlatives. Enhydra lutris is the furriest animal on Earth, with up to 140,000 hairs on every square centimeter of its body – meaning its hairs are 700 times as dense as those on a human head. Unlike many other marine mammals, they lack blubber, so they keep themselves warm by eating a quarter of their body weight in food a day. Sea otters also play a singular role in supporting kelp forests ecosystems in the North Pacific.

The mysterious inner life of the octopus
It was a big night for Inky the octopus. The day's visitors had been and gone, and now his room in the aquarium was deserted. In a rare oversight, the lid of his tank had been left ajar. The common New Zealand octopus had been without female company for some time, sharing a tank with only a fellow male, Blotchy. The loose lid provided Inky with an opportunity. With eight strong suckered limbs and, quite possibly, intimate concerns on his mind, Inky hauled himself out of the water, made his way under the loose lid, and off across the aquarium floor.
