Animals

According to rescuers, these animals can be seen on the banks of rivers. In general, they are characterised by a calm and friendly disposition, but when frightened, they may behave aggressively. In such a situation, experts recommend not to panic and do not approach the rodents. You should not pet them, take photos and videos, especially with a flash.

You should not feed animals. The fact is that the organism of beavers is set up to digest rather coarse food, which is facilitated by a special microflora. Animals need time to adapt to a new type of food. So, attempts to treat beavers with human food may pose a threat to their health. Due to their special diet, they do not need to be fed.

It is noted that the Government of the United Arab Emirates has taken measures to eliminate mosquito breeding grounds. In addition, it plans to minimise infections across the country. To this end, authorities advise locals and visitors to wear light-coloured, loose-fitting clothing with long sleeves and to use insect repellent.

The Dubai government has previously said there have been no cases of cholera in the emirate following the heavy rains. It also denied that the water was contaminated by the prolonged downpours.

T. Berry, a member of the British Arachnological Society, noticed an unusual species of spider in Cornwall County and sent three specimens to the expert D. Logunov. The latter determined that this was a new species whose close relative lived in the Caribbean. It was named Anasaitis milesae.

Presumably, the spiders could have migrated in food crates or on imported plants.

A caring American man brought little wild foxes that were on the street to a veterinary clinic. The man thought they were someone’s pets who were lost and needed help. Allegedly, he mistook them for… kittens.

After examining the unexpected patients, the clinic specialists came to the conclusion that they were wild animals, and the overly kind-hearted Arizona resident not only did not help them, but, on the contrary, caused harm by removing them from their usual conditions. Probably, they were thus weaned from their nursing mother.
