"This tiny poison dart frog is a new discovery: it has been given the name Ranitomeya hwata by researchers who identified it as a distinct species in the Amazon region of western Brazil. Just 15mm long, the frogs live exclusively on a single type of plant: The most noteworthy thing about this species is how much it really loves living in Guadua bamboo, said one of the scientists involved Photograph: Juan Carlos Chaparro/Peru's Biodiversity Museum/AFP/Getty Images"
A slow loris named Brodi required an amputation after electrocution on an uninsulated power line and is recovering at International Animal Rescue in Indonesia. Uninsulated power lines are a growing threat to slow lorises. A badly wounded jaguar rescued from the Negro River near Manaus, Brazil had eye and ear oedema and more than 30 pellets in its face and skull, causing tooth loss. Scientists observed butterflies in Brazilian eucalyptus plantations becoming less colourful than in native forests as they adapt to degraded landscapes. Fluffy muscovy ducklings swam together at Lake Eola Park. Researchers described a new tiny poison dart frog, Ranitomeya hwata, that lives exclusively in Guadua bamboo. A veiled chameleon was seen crawling on leaves in Sanaa, Yemen.
