Secrets of reptile and amphibian aging revealed
At 190 years old, Jonathan the Seychelles giant tortoise recently made news for being the “oldest living land animal in the world.” Although, anecdotal evidence like this exists that some species of turtles and other ectotherms — or ‘cold-blooded’ animals — live a long time, evidence is spotty and mostly focused on animals living in zoos or a few individuals living in the wild.

Why removal of cougars and wolves from Pa. means more Lyme disease
The removal of wolves and cougars in Pennsylvania long ago is responsible for today’s deer problems — and maybe even the explosion of tick-related Lyme disease, a new study suggests.
