• A new study reveals that people who’ve had COVID-19 in the past may exhibit cognitive impairments months after an infection.
• Those impairments can include problems with memory, as well as slower processing speed.
• One of the longterm effects of COVID-19 is “brain fog,” or difficulty thinking and concentrating, the CDC says.

People who’ve recovered from the coronavirus are experiencing problems with their memory, new research and data reveal.

A study,publishedFriday in medical journal JAMA Network Open, says nearly a quarter of individuals who’ve been infected with the coronavirus have problems retaining information and focusing months after contracting the disease. Researchers, examining…

REGIONAL— The USDA’s Animal Services division killed just over 1.5 million wild creatures last year, which ranged from 8,524 common ravens to 626 great blue herons, to 13 northern cardinals, to 707 river otters.
Most of the killings were intentional, undertaken by federal trappers, although thousands of birds and mammals are unintentionally killed by the service each year as well. That has included threatened and endangered species, like the Canada lynx, and it’s those deaths that appear likely to land the federal agency in court.
The Center for Biological Diversity has filed a notice of intent to sue the agency over the deaths of several lynx in Minnesota over the past several years. In a press statement, the CBD says it plans to sue over Animal Services’ inadequate analysis of the risks to lynx as a result of the agency’s wolf-trapping program…

LOVELL — Jeremy Dickson is known for his calm demeanor. Wife Carmen says he’s even analytical in histhought processes.Even after being mauled by agrizzly bear.

Dickson was one of a party of four hunting, fittingly, on Grizzly Ridge near Wapiti on the morning of Saturday, Oct. 2, when the bear came out of nowhere and attacked. He and his hunting partner killed the attacking bear, but only after the bear tore his thumb from his left hand.

But Dickson kept his composure, called for help and rode out to an awaiting air ambulance – almost as if itwas no big deal.

Before the attack, itwas a typical huntingmorning for the experiencedhunter and guide.

A 1995graduate of Lovell HighSchool who is well familiarwith the Northwest Wyomingbackcountry, Dickson wasn’t guiding that…

An unusual bird flu outbreak in the United Kingdom has killed five swans. seal According to a new report, the fox at the Wildlife Rehabilitation Center.

Outbreaks in late 2020 surprised researchers for birdsInfluenza virusIt rarely “spreads” to infect mammals. However, in this case, two different mammalian species were infected and developed a serious illness.

Genetic analysis revealed a single mutation in the avian influenza strain known as H5N8, which could allow the virus to fly from birds to mammals, the authors said. However, the mutation itself is not strongly associated with human transmission, and the authors determined that the strain in this case does not appear to pose a risk of transmission to humans. In addition, no human cases were identified in relation to development.

Nonetheless, “genetic analysis did not show an increased risk of human transmission…

• Every month, Mongabay brings you a new episode of Candid Animal Cam, our show featuring animals caught on camera traps around the world and hosted by Romi Castagnino, our writer and conservation scientist.

Camera trapsbring you closer to the secretive natural world and are an important conservation tool to study wildlife. This month we’re meeting the world’s most trafficked mammal: the Sunda pangolin.https://www.youtube.com/embed/toxC22tM6Zg

The Sunda pangolin (Manis javanica), also known as the Malayan or Javan pangolin, is a unique mammal native to Southeast Asia. Pangolins are covered by many rows of overlapping scales, which are made from keratin, the same protein that forms human hair and fingernails. The scales never stop growing and are constantly filed down as the animals dig burrows and forage for insects. Pangolins use…

HELENA, Mont. – At its Oct. 28 meeting, the Montana Fish and Wildlife Commission is considering adjustments to wolf trapping regulations for the 2021 season.

The changes are aimed at minimizing the possibility of non-target capture of lynx and grizzly bears. Both species are protected under the Endangered Species Act.

The proposed changes look at more clearly identifying occupied grizzly bear habitat and adjusting the season dates for trapping and snaring in these areas.

The proposed default opening day in areas likely to have grizzly bears would be Dec. 31, according to a release. However, this date could move earlier if the department determines most grizzly bears are denned for the winter.

The proposal would also close snaring for wolves on public land within Lynx Protection Zones. These zones have long been established in state…
