New genetic testing techniques are challenging the claims made by cryptozoologists about mythical beasts. These techniques have allowed for the testing of samples claimed to be evidence of cryptids' existence, such as hairs, droppings, and tissues. While some tests have confirmed that these creatures are imaginary, others have yielded surprising results. For example, a study claimed to have found Bigfoot DNA, but further analysis revealed that the samples contained DNA from various animals, including bears and humans. Additionally, DNA analysis of Yeti samples suggested that the myth may be based on an unknown population of bears. The use of environmental DNA analysis is also promising for future research on mythical creatures. However, skeptics argue that many cryptids are simply products of tradition and psychology, passed down through generations. The article also highlights unexplored regions, such as the Mariana Trench and Venezuela, where new animal discoveries are likely to occur. [Extracted from the article]

Artificial intelligence (AI) is increasingly being used in wildlife conservation to monitor species, conduct population studies, and make decisions about habitat protection. Tools such as digital neural networks and computer vision are helping researchers keep up with the high volume of data available in wildlife monitoring devices. However, some experts caution against relying too heavily on AI and emphasize the importance of considering whether a lower-tech alternative would suffice. Despite the potential risks and challenges, AI has the potential to greatly advance wildlife research and conservation efforts. [Extracted from the article]

The article discusses the importance of accurately determining the age of animals for wildlife management purposes. Traditional methods of aging animals, such as using phenotypic traits or tooth extraction, have limitations and may be inaccurate. However, a new method using DNA methylation levels is gaining traction as a less invasive and more accurate technique. DNA methylation is influenced by various factors and can be used to develop a biological clock to predict chronological age. This method has been successful in estimating age in numerous mammalian species and has led to the development of a universal mammalian clock. The article also mentions ongoing efforts to develop species-specific molecular clocks for bears in Alaska. The advantages of this method include the use of existing samples and the ability to age individuals using non-invasive methods. The reliability of obtaining age estimates through non-invasive samples is currently being evaluated. [Extracted from the article]

Archaeologists in Zamárdi, Hungary have discovered a beehive-shaped pit containing the skeletons of four adult dogs and a male Eurasian lynx. The lynx skeleton, which is rare to find in archaeological contexts, was radiocarbon dated to the Migration Period in the fifth to sixth century A.D. The researchers believe that the lynx and dogs may have engaged in a fight, resulting in their deaths, and were subsequently buried by the inhabitants of Zamárdi. The size of the lynx was larger than average, and it is unlikely that the animals were hunted based on the absence of skinning marks on their bones. [Extracted from the article]
