Animal of the day (164)

Although declared extinct in the wild in 2019, not all hope is lost for the Spix's Macaw. This gorgeous bird once inhabited the drainage basin of the São Francisco River, in Brazil. It had a very restricted natural habitat due to its dependence on a particular tree species. The 2011 animated movie Rio actually portrayed the story of the supposed last pair of Spix's macaws. Thankfully, the species is now maintained through captive breeding programs, and efforts are being made to restore its natural habitat and reintroduce it to the wild. Mating for life, a pair typically also enjoys sharing food and mutual grooming.

Indigenous leaders want to protect whales by granting them legal personhood

"What we're trying to achieve here is to provide whales with certain rights," Takoko told Morning Edition. "Those rights include the right to freedom of movement, natural behavior, development, cultural expression – which includes language – to a healthy environment, healthy oceans, and indeed the restoration of their populations."

A pixel art redraw (and image) of a kitty with an angry expression, being grabbed by a hand from someone off-screen. The cat is holding onto the chair, not wanting to go with the human. Let them stay here, human!
A pixel art redraw (and image) of a kitty with an angry expression, sitting on the lap of a human in front of a laptop. The kitty is giving an angry side-eye to the viewer. In the redrawn version, the laptop has a Blue Screen of Death. Not too fond of technology.
A pixel art redraw (and image) of a kitty with an angry expression, sitting in front of a table that has a notebook with a ruler, eraser and some pens while being held by a human. In the redrawn version, there's a math question of 2 + 2 in the notebook. Homework is hard, human!
