2021-12-08 15:00:01 This bird got its name "mandarin duck" because of its unusually bright plumage coloring.

In China, mandarin ducks were known as nobles, always brightly and splendidly dressed, hence the name.
The total population of the mandarin duck worldwide barely exceeds 25 thousand pairs, of which in Russia there are no more than 15 thousand pairs. Open / Comment

2021-12-08 09:00:04 ​The largest dung beetle on the South American continent, Coprophanaeus lancifer is remarkable for its extraordinary strength and voracity no less.

Despite belonging to the dung beetle family, this brilliant giant prefers the remains of dead animals.
The main feature of Coprophanaeus lancifer dung beetles is massive horns on the head of both sexes. The sturdy and massive build of these giants fully corresponds to their physical capabilities: It is practically impossible to hold a living dung beetle in the palm of your hand.
The adult beetle is even able to move the carcass remains as big as a human being, using a system of digging for this purpose.
Its strong limbs with jagged edges on its sides and a pair of sharp teeth that it uses to tear off pieces of meat from the decomposing carcass and roll them into balls help it in this. Open / Comment

2021-12-07 21:00:03 ​In March 2018, the last male northern white rhinoceros named Sudan died at the age of 45. He lived a happy, long life, leaving behind a daughter named Najin and a granddaughter named Fata. Only two representatives of this species remain on the entire planet.

The fate of the white rhinoceros is a perfect illustration of devastating human activities. Back at the beginning of the 20th century, there were about half a million northern white rhinos in Africa and Asia. Uncontrolled development in their habitat, pollution and poaching for horns led to a sad outcome.

This is interesting: despite its name, the white rhinoceros is not white at all, but dark gray. The fact is that its name comes from the Boer language, where it is consonant with the word "white.

It turns out that there is still hope for the revival of the northern white rhinoceros. Scientists have managed to collect Sudan's genetic material, with which they plan to impregnate the two remaining females. Such an operation requires a lot of money, so funds are currently being raised to carry it out. Open / Comment
