"Veronika, a pet cow ( Bos taurus) that lives on an Austrian farm, can use a utensil to scratch and groom parts of her body - the first documented instance of tool use in cattle. Over the years, she's advanced from sticks to implements as large and heavy as brooms, and swaps between using the handle and the bristles to scratch different areas of her body."
"Researchers defined eight indicators of toxic masculinity and applied them to the results of a large survey in New Zealand. Of more than 15,000 participants that identified as heterosexual males, the smallest group, at just 3.2%, held 'hostile toxic' views, such as that women seek to gain control over men and that "inferior groups should stay in their place". The group was made up mainly of marginalized, disadvantaged men."
Veronika, a pet cow (Bos taurus) on an Austrian farm, uses utensils including sticks and large brooms to scratch and groom different parts of her body, marking the first documented tool use in cattle. She alternates between using the broom handle and the bristles to reach different areas, demonstrating use of a single tool for multiple purposes, a behaviour previously observed only in chimpanzees and humans. Researchers operationalized eight indicators of 'toxic masculinity' and applied them to a large New Zealand survey. Among over 15,000 heterosexual male respondents, 3.2% held 'hostile toxic' views, mainly from marginalized, disadvantaged men. Japan plans to restart the world's biggest nuclear power plant.
