Plastic perils for seabirds

Article Abstract:

A study is conducted to find the effect of plastics on the lives of flesh-footed shearwaters, medium-sized seabird with a wingspan of over a meter that allows them to cruise over hundreds of kilometers of ocean in search of food. The conclusion states that funds should be allocated to study the effect of plastic ingestion by seabirds, in order to set up long-term monitoring programs to ascertain the effects on whole population of species.

Rough pursuits

Article Abstract:

The rough-scaled python has a head shaped like a figure-of-eight and a tall snout to accommodate extremely long teeth. The non-reflective skin of the latter, coupled with an extraordinary ability to lighten or darken its overall skin coloration depending upon the environment, greatly enhances the pythonEs ability to remain unnoticed by avian predators.
