Are Hippos Turning into Carnivores? Tough Times in Africa’s Okavango Delta
Botswana’s Okavango Delta is home to one of the world’s largest hippo populations. Despite their iconic status, these giant “river horses” are even more rare than African elephants, thanks to decades of targeting by poachers … and now a deadly drought.

When vegetation is scarce, hippos sometimes eat meat. But scientists have recently observed the herbivores feeding on carcasses in wet seasons, too. What’s behind this change in diet? Are hippos carnivores now? And could eating meat even be killing them?

    When beavers achieve full sentience they will amaze their young with fantastic 'tails' of how their ancestors arrived in a spaceship from another world. Not sure that being thrown about in a crate on a horse's back for hours is better than a plane ride. How about using drones instead?

    I feel like conflating "visible from space" and "visible via satellite images" is somewhat deceptive. When people say "visible from space" they usually mean that you could see it with the naked eye after reaching the threshold to be considered "in space".

  • @tmplblck

    There’s a difference between seeing the effects of something and seeing the thing itself with the naked eye from orbit. The Delhi trash fire is visible from orbit. The dam itself is not.

    It's amazing. I was wondering about just that, how they can make the logs and sticks stay in place, when placing them in running water Like how they understand the logic of it : That sticks needs to be sharp, rocks are heavy so they can be used to hold the logs and sticks in place/weigh it down, and the fact they use vegetation as insulator and mortar. So the dams are slowing the waters, but not so much it overflow their home. The dams are ''naturally'' controlled. Perfect engineering! The fact they store all this FRESH water, in the warmer world we are gonna have. It just show how we need the animals and nature we take for granted. It's not the animals or nature that needs us, it's WE that need THEM.

    Why do people view the world as if our snapshot understanding is the way things have always been, and would always be.., if not for these "alarming and unprecedented" changes? Change is normal. Always has been. Always will be. There's nothing we can do. There's nothing we -- should -- do. Embrace the change. Stop with the "OMG! It's changing! We must stop this horror!" (Which really means: "Give us Research money! Send those Grants our way! There are questions that will not be answered unless you fund us! The world will end if we don't find the answers!)
