La lepre è un roditore che appartiene alla famiglia dei Leporidi, simile e più grande del coniglio, con cui è strettamente imparentata. Si differenzia da quest'ultimo dal fatto che i suoi piccoli di solito non nascono in una tana sotterranea, sono attivi sin dalla nascita, sono completamente ricoperti di pelo e hanno gli occhi aperti. La lepre è conosciuta per il labbro diviso, le orecchie lunghe, la coda inclinata e le sue zampe e i suoi arti posteriori lunghi, utilissimi per una rapida fuga dai nemici. Si dice che le lepri più veloci raggiungano una velocità vicina ai 70 km/h. In media le lepri, di cui esistono numerose varietà, sono lunghe 0,6 m. La loro colorazione consueta è grigiastra o brunastra.La lepre è un ruminante. Le lepri e i conigli, ovviamente, non hanno uno stomaco composto da più camere o più parti e non rigurgitano il cibo per essere rimasticato, caratteristiche che sono associate alla classificazione scientifica dei ruminanti. The Imperial Bible-Dictionary osserva: “È ovvio che mentre riposa la lepre mastica più e più volte il cibo consumato qualche tempo prima; e questa azione è sempre stata popolarmente considerata ruminare. Anche il poeta Cowper, un attento osservatore dei fenomeni naturali, che ha messo per iscritto le sue osservazioni sulle 3 lepri che aveva addomesticato, afferma che esse ‘ruminavano tutto il giorno fino a sera'”.L'osservazione scientifica di lepri e conigli in tempi più recenti, tuttavia, indica che la ruminazione è coinvolta anche più di quanto possa sembrare. François Bourlière scrive in The Natural History of Mammals (1964, p. 41): “Sembra che la ‘refezione', cioè l'abitudine di far passare il cibo 2 volte anziché una sola volta attraverso l'intestino, sia un fenomeno comune nei conigli e nelle lepri. I conigli domestici di solito mangiano e deglutiscono senza masticare gli escrementi notturni, che al mattino costituiscono circa la metà del contenuto totale dello stomaco. Nel coniglio selvatico la refezione avviene 2 volte al giorno, e si è notata la stessa abitudine anche negli esemplari europei … Si ritiene che questa abitudine fornisca agli animali grandi quantità di vitamine del gruppo B prodotte dai batteri presenti nell'intestino crasso”. Sullo stesso punto, l'opera Mammals of the World (by E. P. Walker, 1964, Vol. II, p. 647) osserva: “Questo processo potrebbe essere simile al ‘ruminare' dei mammiferi”.

In this Huberman Lab Essentials episode, my guest is Dr. Oded Rechavi, a professor at Tel Aviv University who studies genetics, epigenetics and the inheritance of acquired traits. We discuss how DNA, RNA and epigenetic mechanisms determine what information can pass between generations, and why acquired traits are generally not thought to be inherited. We also explain research in C. elegans showing how small RNAs can transmit antiviral resistance and influence behavior across generations, what these findings might mean for mammals and humans, and potential future applications for reproductive health and diagnostics.

The Slanted Attic Experience: Episode 69 "Kevin" Missiles, Mammals & Mastering Your HealthTyler sits down with Kevin, a 26 year old Army Captain and they things off with a Slip n Slide party story and somehow ends up in a full breakdown of the Patriot missile defense system by the end. Everything in between is exactly as wide ranging as that sounds.After the intro they get into fitness and the mental side of exercise in the military before the World Cup, Anthropic and the federal government, Tesla, and SpaceX spark a broader conversation about where technology is headed. Bird watching and dendrology lead into Kevin's favorite mammals and a surprisingly deep Orca dive before veganism, factory farming, and whether there is actually an ethical way to produce enough food for the world close out the big ideas block.Then the health conversation opens up and it is one of the more honest takes on clean living the attic has hosted. Blood sugar levels and supplementation are broken down in a way that actually makes sense, and gut health and healthy bowel movements get a genuinely informative moment. Kevin ties it all together with the discipline and perspective that comes from military life, making the health block feel grounded rather than preachy. What Kevin actually does in the Army and the Patriot missile defense system close things out before the outro.Guest Panel:Kevin: A 26 year old Captain in the U.S. Army, married to his wife Anna and dog dad to Denver and Bono.

Ich habe „Born to Run“ gelesen und bin barfuß bis zum Halbmarathon gelaufen. Es fühlte sich großartig an – bis mein Mittelfußknochen brach. Ausgerechnet bei dem, wofür ich angeblich geboren war.In dieser Folge gehe ich der Frage nach, wofür Dein Körper wirklich gebaut ist. Du erfährst, welche unscheinbare Fähigkeit Dich zum Ausdauer-Champion des Tierreichs macht – und in welcher zweiten Disziplin die Evolution ausdrücklich gegen Dich gearbeitet hat. Genau die ist der Grund, warum Du überhaupt ins Fitnessstudio gehst.Dazu die Geschichte eines Klienten: Radsportler, Trainingsumfänge, bei denen Du schon vom Zuhören müde wirst – und trotzdem ein Bauch, der einfach nicht weichen wollte. Was wir geändert haben, war das Gegenteil von dem, was er erwartet hatte.Und wir nehmen die beliebtesten „Die Evolution sagt“-Argumente auseinander: Paleo, Carnivore, Barfußlaufen.

Try to imagine a world without birds. It's quite a challenge, given that we share the planet with tens of billions of birds spanning an astonishing 14,000 species. Birds find homes nearly everywhere that people do – and many places we do not – and their prowess and plumage have captivated human imagination throughout the ages. But impressive aerial feats and collective choirs of song aside, part of our fascination with birds is rooted in the awe of something so delicate and strange. How did such seemingly fragile creatures made of hollow bones and downy feathers break the mold of terrestrial life and survive millennia? In his newest book, The Story of Birds: A New History, from Their Dinosaur Origins to the Present, esteemed paleontologist Steve Brusatte embarks on a deep dive through the history of avian evolution. The Story of Birds begins by exploring how dinosaurs gradually developed the trademark features of birds one-by-one—feathers, wings, beaks, big brains, keen senses, and warm-blooded metabolisms. Brusatte investigates how these features contributed to birds emerging as the only surviving dinosaurs of the cataclysmic asteroid impact 66 million years ago, and how their numbers soared to new heights of diversity in the barren landscape that followed. Along this journey through time, meet extraordinary extinct species like the 1.5-ton elephant birds of Madagascar, giant Pelagornithid seabirds with 20-foot wingspans, and flightless 10-foot-tall terror birds with beaks that sliced flesh. Brusatte follows these remarkable species all the way down to the present, urging readers to share the same appreciation for the many impressive birds of today– penguins that literally fly underwater, parrots that can mimic human speech, and hummingbirds that hover mid-air and dive at 50 miles per hour. Presented with keen research and soaring enthusiasm, The Story of Birds unearths the unique origins of birds and the legacy they continue to live to this day. Steve Brusatte, PhD, is an American paleontologist who teaches at the University of Edinburgh, in Scotland. He is the author of the international bestseller The Rise and Fall of the Dinosaurs and The Rise and Reign of the Mammals. The paleontology advisor on the Jurassic World film franchise, Brusatte has named more than fifteen new species, including the tyrannosaur "Pinocchio rex" (Qianzhousaurus), the raptor Zhenyuanlong, and several ancient mammals. His research and writing has been featured in Science, the New York Times, Scientific American, and many other publications. David B. Williams is an author and naturalist whose award-winning books include Homewaters: A Human and Natural History of Puget Sound and Too High and Too Steep: Reshaping Seattle's Topography, as well as co-authoring Spirit Whales and Sloth Tales: Fossils of Washington State. His newest book, Wild in Seattle: Stories at the Crossroads of People and Nature is a best-of collection from his free weekly Substack newsletter, the Street Smart Naturalist.

Otters are found in rivers, lakes, coastlines, and oceans across much of the world. This episode explores how otters are adapted for life in the water, where they live, how they move through their environments, and the characteristics that distinguish them from other members of the weasel family. Along the way, you'll hear about dense waterproof fur, webbed feet, streamlined bodies, and the behaviors that have made otters some of the world's most recognizable mammals. It's steady and consistent, with no whispering and no sudden changes, just enough to give your mind something to follow as you wind down. Happy sleeping!

Welcome back to The Crystal Library.Lemurian Quartz may be one of the most fascinating crystals in the modern metaphysical world—not because of what it is, but because of the story surrounding it.In this episode, we're tracing the surprising journey of Lemurian Quartz all the way back to its origins. Before there were crystal healers, channeled messages, or stories of lost civilizations, there was a British zoologist trying to solve a mystery about lemur fossils. That scientific hypothesis eventually evolved into one of the most enduring myths in modern spirituality: the lost continent of Lemuria.Together we'll explore:✧ The scientific origins of Lemuria in the 1800s✧ How Helena Blavatsky and the Theosophists transformed a geological hypothesis into spiritual mythology✧ The connection between Lemurian mythology and quartz crystals in the 1990s✧ What makes a true Lemurian Seed Crystal different from ordinary quartz✧ The geology behind the crystal's distinctive ladder-like striations✧ Why these crystals are associated with memory, connection, and higher consciousness✧ Practical ways to work with Lemurian Quartz in meditation, dreamwork, and crystal grids✧ Whether a myth has to be historically true to hold spiritual meaningThis episode isn't about proving or disproving Lemuria. It's about examining the stories we tell, the questions we carry, and the ways crystals become vessels for meaning.Because perhaps the real power of Lemurian Quartz isn't found in a lost civilization at all.Perhaps it's found in the question:What did we forget—and how do we remember?Sources Referenced:• Philip Sclater – "The Mammals of Madagascar" (1864)• Helena P.

The Natural History Museum of London is getting ready to move 28 million of its precious specimens to a new state-of-the-art home. Imagine moving tens of millions of delicate animal and plant specimens, gathered from all across the world, over the centuries. Some are as big as a bus, some so tiny you need tweezers to pack them. Some are millions of years old. How to move 350 taxidermy tortoises? The biggest weigh half a tonne. Then there is the ten-metre anaconda. The team may have to get him out through the lift shaft. What if moths get in? What if something gets lost? It is a logistical puzzle on a mind-boggling scale. When the collections eventually arrive in their new home, scientists and researchers present and future will be able to explore the specimens' vast amounts of data, much of it yet untapped, using the latest digital, analytical, and genomic technologies. With Dr Jeff Streicher, senior curator in charge, Amphibians and Reptiles and Richard Sabin, principal curator, Mammals.

This week, as we mark the 10th anniversary of the National Bison Legacy Act, WCS Wild Audio revisits its report on how extraordinary partnerships across geography, culture, and politics helped make the American bison our national mammal. Looking ahead to the 250th anniversary of American independence this July, there can be no better time to reflect on the bison as both a symbol of our shared past and a reminder of our responsibility to protect the wildlife, landscapes, and cultural legacies that define us.  Reporting: Nat Moss Guests: John Calvelli, Keith Aune, Dave Carter, Jim Stone

It was love at first sight, when Jack Ashby first set eyes upon a platypus specimen as a young university student.The introduction set him on a lifelong mission to meet these quintessentially Australian creatures in the wild, and redefine their reputation as "weird" or "primitive".He's met many other animals along the way, coming face to face with an elusive snow leopard family in the Himalayas, with wombats and echidnas, and seeing only the eyes of a sloth bear, reflecting his torchlight in a pitch black forest.Further informationPlatypus Matters is published by Harper CollinsThis episode of Conversations was first broadcast in 2022, the producer was Meggie Morris and the Executive Producer was Carmel Rooney.It explores platypus, mammals, zoology, echidnas, Australian animals, Winston Churchill, animal behaviour, Indigenous Australians, baby platypus, the biology and anatomy of platypus, weird animal facts.To binge even more great episodes of the Conversations podcast with Richard Fidler and Sarah Kanowski go the ABC listen app (Australia) or wherever you get your podcasts.

How have the evolutionary forces that shaped animal sex and behaviour influenced the ways humans conserve, study and coexist with other species? As the Zoological Society of London, the precursor to the zoo, celebrates its 200th anniversary, Adam Rutherford is joined by three guests whose work uncovers the scientific, historical and ethical threads connecting humans with the wider animal world. Biologist Lixing Sun introduces his new book On the Origin of Sex - the Weird and Wonderful Science of how our Planet is Populated, uncovering how mating strategies and reproductive behaviour evolved across species. From Californian Condors to clownfish, the dazzling array of ways in which the animal kingdom procreates is both baffling and astonishing.Cultural historian Elsa Richardson, from the University of Strathclyde, discusses her latest research into the archives of Edinburgh Zoo, revealing a rich and little‑known record of early zoological observation, public spectacle and the shifting moral landscapes of how people have imagined, displayed and interpreted animal behaviour.And Sarah Forsyth, Curator of Mammals at ZSL, reflects on the history of the organisation and offers insights into the crucial conservation work that the Zoo is involved in today. From field programmes to breeding initiatives, Sarah explores how modern zoos can help safeguard species and shape our understanding of animals in a rapidly changing world.Producer: Natalia Fernandez Senior Producer: Katy Hickman

Today on The Gist, ExxonMobil Chief Economist Tyler Goodspeed discusses his new book, Recession: The Real Reasons Economies Shrink and What to Do About It. Goodspeed argues that we fundamentally misunderstand economic busts. Because we are "pattern-seeking mammals," we try to frame recessions as the inevitable, moral punishments for greedy economic booms. But historically, economic downturns are actually driven by random, unpredictable shocks—from the 2001 dot-com bust to a literal plague of locusts in the 1870s. Plus, breaking down the recent federal court ruling striking down Donald Trump's executive order aimed at defunding NPR, and the painful irony of winning a First Amendment battle while still losing the cash.
