Another fantastic trip to Marwell Zoo. An ideal chance to experiment with my new Nikon D7200.
Amur Leopard Cubs. Endangered species. And my highlight of the visit.

Out There: Whatever We Dig Up, We'll End Up Buried  
In our search for discovery and meaning, we always look up and out, while we hardly know anything about what is going on, or what went on, under our own feet.

Five Minutes to Trump: Lies and Lapses on the US Campaign Trail  
Donald Trump is a proven liar. But Hillary Clinton is a flawed candidate as well. With eight weeks to go until Americans go to the polls, the prospect of a notorious charlatan moving into the White House is looking more realistic than ever.

Quality, not quantity, of diet is key to health of baby birds  
In a new study that upends the way ornithologists think about a young bird's diet -- but won't shock parents used to scanning the nutritional profile of their children's food -- researchers have found that when it comes to what chicks eat, quality trumps quantity.

Gut bacteria explain insects' tolerance to a toxic diet  
The microbial communities of toxic plant feeders in the Albufera lake in Valencia, Spain have been the focus of recent research. Aside from explaining the insects' tolerance to a toxic diet, the findings may have applications in bioremediation: a waste management technique that involves the use of organisms to remove or neutralize pollutants from a contaminated materials.

Better models to forecast effects of environmental change on food webs  
Ppredator-feeding behavior, global warming, and nutrient enrichment affect the basic building blocks of food webs, says a new dissertation. Just a small increase in temperature or in the availability of a limited nutrient can theoretically push the populations of predators and their prey from stable coexistence at approximately constant densities to wild oscillations, or even to predator extinction. But how and when this happens is still debated by ecologists.
