Baby wildlife

In the month of May, the baby wildlife come out to play. In the month of June, the Game and Fish Department fields a lot of calls about abandon wildlife, however, that might not be the situation. "We always tell people is if you see a baby animal, leave it alone. You know, if you think it might be abandoned, mom is probably real close, either hiding or looking for food for it and will come back shortly," said Pat Isakson, NDGF conservation biologist. Isakson says he gets a lot of questions about well-intentioned people touching or moving baby animals each year. "It's a wives' tale that if you touch a baby animal, that mom won't care for it. But we just want people to leave them alone if they come in contact with them. There are some situations where if you have to move an animal, say it's in your...

Trump administration revokes transgender health protection

Gambar
Washington (AP) — In a move applauded by President Donald Trump's conservative religious base, his administration on Friday finalized a rule that overturns Obama-era protections for transgender people against sex discrimination in health care. The Department of Health and Human Services said it will enforce sex discrimination protections "according to the plain meaning of the word 'sex' as male or female and as determined by biology." This rewrites an Obama-era regulation that sought a broader understanding shaped by a person's internal sense of being male, female, neither or a combination. LGBTQ groups say explicit protections are needed for people seeking sex-reassignment treatment, and even for transgender people who need care for common illnesses such as diabetes or heart problems. But conservatives say the Obama administration exceeded its legal authority in broadly interpreting gen...

Secret “Baby Dragons” Finally Go On Display In Slovenian Cave

Gambar
The Postojna Cave in Slovenia, a karst cave formed from drops of water eroding rock over millions of years, has been harboring a secret since 2016. Hidden away in a subterranean lab, a team of scientists on site has been raising a clutch of "baby dragons" and now, four years since the first hatched, three are going to go on display for the world to see. The precious dragons are actually olms, ancient aquatic salamanders that breed once a decade and can live to be 100 years old. They were first described in 1689 by naturalist Valvasor who wrote in his book Glory of the Duchy of Carniola that, after heavy rains, olms would wash up from underground water systems and were believed by locals to be dragons' offspring swept out from the cave. These ghostly creatures are incredibly rare but in 2016 an olm at the cave lay around 60 eggs in an observation tank, offering cave authorities a rare opportuni...

Positive Covid-19 tests kept a mom and baby apart for 55 days. Experts see it as a bigger testing problem

The very premature infant was born via cesarean section and quickly whisked away to the neonatal intensive care unit before his mother could even lay eyes on him. Over the next eight weeks, the only time she saw her baby was when the NICU staff sent photos, or when a nurse FaceTimed her while the baby was being bathed. The young mother, who gave birth at Montreal's Sainte-Justine Hospital, tested positive for Covid-19 when her baby was born. For 55 days afterward, she repeatedly tested positive for the SARS-CoV-2 virus. Because she did, the hospital would not allow her to return after she was discharged, meaning she could not hold or nurse her baby for the first two months of his life. Her case is one of a number that have experts questioning the utility of testing people over and over again after they've recovered. Experts have also raised doubts about the value of a growing mountain of studies that show some people test positive for weeks after infection. There's conc...

Troopers Delivery Baby Girl Who Couldn't Wait To Be Born

TAMPA, FL — Florida Highway Patrol troopers "aren't always delivering tickets — sometimes they deliver babies." That was the announcement on the FHP Twitter page when a pregnant Tampa mom wasn't able to make it to the hospital in time during Friday's rains. The family pulled over in downtown Tampa and called for help. Troopers arrived and shielded the car with raincoats for privacy and to protect the young mother from the elements while they helped deliver the baby girl. The highway patrol then escorted the family to the hospital. After working at demonstration marches in Tampa all week, the troopers said helping deliver the healthy baby was a reminder that, sometimes, all's right in the world.
