The devil's new hell
Article Abstract:
Tasmanian devils are black in color, spread over eucalypt forests and woodlands, are powerful carnivores with heavily muscled necks and well-balanced senses of hearing, smell and sight. These devils love sunning, stretching and flattening themselves out like a bear rug and in hot weather they even lie in puddles.

Scavengers at death's door
Article Abstract:
The population of different species of vultures has declined by more than 95 percent. Based on a study, it is found that the vultures die after scavenging carcasses that have residues of diclofenac, which is a lethal to vultures in very low doses, and die from visceral gout, a condition caused by kidney failure.
