#Fossils of 4. 4-Million-Year-Old Horse Found Scientists poking around Ethiopia's fossil-rich badlands say they have discovered the first pieces of an extinct species of horse that was about the size of a small zebra

But at the time this grass-eating horse roamed the planet the region would have been covered in grasslands and shrubby woods rich grounds for grazing.

Fossilized traces of the horse which was named Eurygnathohippus woldegabrieli were uncovered in the archaeologically rich sites of Aramis and Gona in Ethiopia's Middle Awash valley.

The extinct horse in this study would have actually been alive at the same time the 4. 4-million-year-oldâ human ancestor Ardipithecus ramidus

Amazing Horse Photos Among the many fossils we found are the two ends of the foreleg bone the canon brilliant white

and well preserved in the red-tinted earth study researcher Scott Simpson of Case Western Reserve's School of medicine said of the horse discovery.

The leg bone bits indicate this horse had longer legs than its ancestors. The shape and size of the leg suggest the beast was a fast runner a skill that may have helped it flee predators like lions sabre-tooth cats Simpson

The horse's teeth show signs of another departure from more ancient species: With crowns worn flatter than the teeth found on its ancestors it seems this creature became adapted to a life of grazing.

An analysis of the enamel on the fossilized teeth provided further evidence that it subsisted on grass like today's zebras wildebeests

The animal belonged to a group of ancient horses called Hipparionines which had toed three hooves

The researchers say this discovery helps fill in a blank spot in the evolution of horses before the animals became even better suited for a life in the grasslands growing taller and developing longer snouts for example.

This horse is one piece of a very complex puzzle that has many many pieces Simpson said in a statement.

Cheetahs are nearly twice as fast as racehorses: The fastest racehorse runs 43 mph (69 kph)

but cheetahs can run up to 70 mph (113 kph). A cheetah's feet don't touch the ground for more than half of the time it's running.

#Fun Facts About Zebras Kingdom: Animalia Phylum: Chordata Class: Mammalia Order: Perissodactyla Family: Equidae Genus:

Zebras are one of a handful of single-toed hoofed animal species a category that also includes donkeys horses and asses.

The single hoof is probably an adaptation that helps them run fast on hard ground.

Zebras are the most striking-looking of the animals in this family. So why the stripes?

When zebras are grouped together their stripes make it hard for a predator to pick out one zebra to chase.

Different zebra species have different types of stripes from narrow to wide. In fact the further south on the African plains you travel the farther apart the stripes on the zebras get.

The stripes may also help deter bloodsucking insects research has suggested. The height of an adult plains zebra is 44-58 inches (112 to 147centimeters) at the shoulder.

Their weight varies greatly from 385-847 pounds (175 to 384 kilograms) depending on the species. Males are about 10 percent larger than females.

The Grevy's zebra is the largest wild member of the horse family. In the wild zebras live about 20-30 years;

in zoos they can live up to 40 years. Â Zebras graze primarily on tough grasses but they also browse on leaves

which may constitute up to 30 percent of their diet. Zebras are generally social animals that live in small harems to large herds.

They are generally slower than horses with a top speed of around 35 mph (56 kph)

but their great stamina helps them outpace predators. When chased a zebra will zigzag from side to side making it more difficult for the predator to catch them.

When cornered a zebra will rear up and kick or bite its attacker. Where food is mostly plentiful year-round such as the Ngorongoro Crater in Tanzania they lead a sedentary life.

In seasonally dry areas like the Serengeti of Tanzania small families of plains zebra gather to form large herds that migrate in search of food.

Staying together as a family group within large herds they migrate up to 500 miles (800 kilometers) per year during their circular trek to and from the Serengeti.

Zebra are extremely dependent on water and never wander far from waterholes where they usually drink at least once a day.

It is the responsibility of an adult mare (often the oldest) to guide the family as they move from area to area

and ensure that they never wander too far from water. Â Where zebras live: Zebras are only found in the wild in one continent:

Africa. Plains zebras which live in grassland live all around Africa. Mountain zebras live (as the name suggests) in mountainous regions in dry southern African countries like Angola Namibia and South africa.

Grevy's zebras live in shrubland and grassland in Northern African countries like Kenya and Ethiopia. Zebras commonly mix herds with antelope adding extra protection against predators.

Â Conservation status: Least Concern to Endangered Both the Grevy's zebra and the mountain zebra are listed as endangered.

While plains zebra populations remain plentiful and is listed as Least Concern by the IUCN though their numbers diminished greatly in the last century.

This decline has happened for several reasons: Humans hunt zebras for sport and their skins and zebras have lost also much suitable and expansive enough habitat due to the rapid expansion of human populations.

As with so many large animals both prey and predator humans pose the greatest risk to zebra's continued existence in the wild.

Overgrazing by livestock is leading to significant environmental degradation as zebras compete with the ever-increasing livestock population and agricultural crops for water.

Â Odd facts: While several attempts have been made over the last two centuries zebras have never been domesticated successfully.

In South africa there is a project to bring back the Quagga an extinct subspecies of the Plains Zebra (http://www. quaggaproject. org/.

/In ancient Rome Grevy's zebras were called hippotigris and trained to pull carts for the circus. Zebras in a herd might all look alike

but their stripe patterns are as distinctive as fingerprints are in humans. Scientists can identify individual zebras by comparing patterns stripe widths color and scars.

Zebras have black skin underneath their hair which makes some people say that they have white stripes

but it's an open question! Â Other resources: African Wildlife Foundation-Zebra San diego Zoo-Zebra Woodland Park Zoo-Zebra Smithsonian National Zoo Grevy's zebra IUCN Red List Mountain zebra IUCN

#Funnel-web Spiders: Families, Bites & Other Facts Funnel-web spiders are spiders that build funnel-shaped webs

which they use as burrows or to trap prey. Three distinct spider families are known popularly as funnel-web spiders.

Spiders in the Agelenidae Dipluridae and Hexathelidae families all build funnel-shaped webs but that is where their similarities end.

Agelenidae spiders also called funnel weavers live throughout the world including North america. They build funnel-shaped webs between two braces such as branches or grass blades.

In general their bites are not harmful to humans. A possible exception is the hobo spider

but scientists are extremely unsure if this species is poisonous or not. Hexathelidae spiders live in Australia

and their funnel webs are lined really burrows with silk These spiders have a dangerous bite. Two well-known species of Hexathelidae are the Sydney funnel spider and the northern tree funnel spider;

both are shortlisted often for the Most Deadly Spider in the World title. Spiders in the Dipluridae family are commonly known as funnel-web tarantulas.

Their funnel webs are rather messy. Most of these spiders live in the tropics of Central and South america but they are found worldwide including Australia Africa and Central asia.

#Real Cause of'Satanic Sacrifice'Pony Found A pony found in Dartmoor England in July apparently died under mysterious and horrific circumstances:

The 2-month-old male pony apparently had its genitals eyes tongue and one ear removed.

and dismember a young pony. Now the mystery has been solved. Witches & Wiccans: 6 Common Misconceptions Devon and Cornwall police concluded earlier this week that the pony had died of natural causes.

The much-discussed mutilation was not in fact mutilation at all but instead the normal result of wild animals eating the pony's organs and scattering its entrails.

Initial media reports linked the death of the pony to satanic cults and ritualistic killing the police said in a statement.

The police have sought the advice of experts and have come to the view that the death of this pony was through natural causes.

All the injuries can be attributed to those caused by other wild animals. This incident received significant media reporting some

But if the pony died of natural causes what about the claims and rumors of satanic or pagan sacrifices?

and ritually sacrifice animals especially ones as cute and beloved as ponies there's little wonder why the media ran with it.

which has very specific procedures and rituals for the sacrifice (and typically sacrifice chickens or goats not horses).

when the pony died it's impossible to know what exactly killed it; suspects include wild animals disease or even lightning.

The fact is scavenger animals eat soft tissues of the body first including the parts missing from the pony:

Since the pony had been dead for several days before its body was found there was plenty of time for birds maggots blowflies

In other words just because the pony's cause of death was unknown doesn't logically mean the animal was sacrificed by satanists witches or anyone else;

Though the case resulted in some red faces the best news that can be drawn from the incident is that the pony died naturally

#In Africa, Anthrax Lures Animals to Their Death Areas contaminated with anthrax germs lure grazing animals like zebras

Scientists investigated zebra carcasses over a 115-square-mile 300 square kilometers) area at Etosha National park in Namibia from 2010 to 2013.

Most anthrax cases seen in Etosha are in zebras; the disease can kill grazing herbivores within days after the animal is exposed to a lethal dose.

See Images of the Namibia Zebras and the Carcass Sites I revisited a carcass site in 2007 from a zebra that

I had found dead of anthrax one year previously and saw a patch of lush green grass growing up through the skeleton in an area that was

Zebra like anthrax grasses The scientists found that the soil fertilized by the carcasses they studied was rich with nutrients such as phosphorus and nitrogen.

The scientists also discovered that anthrax spores were found on grasses up to two years after the zebras had died.

Zebra wildebeest and springbok (a small gazelle) were up to four times more likely to graze at a potentially infectious site where a zebra had died within the last year than at a random grassland patch nearby.

Carcass sites became less attractive 1. 5 to 2. 5 years after a zebra had died once the nutrients from the corpses faded away.

#Heart Cells Transformed Into'Biological Pacemaker'Electronic pacemakers can be lifesaving for people with abnormal

or slow heart rhythms but not everyone who needs a pacemaker is able to have implanted an electronic device in their heart.

Now in experiments in pigs researchers have come up with a new method for making a biological pacemaker that might one day serve as an alternative to electronic ones the researchers said.

Making this pacemaker involves injecting a gene into heart muscle cells which transforms these normal heart cells into special cells that can initiate a heartbeat.

7 Things to Know About Your Ticker This method could be useful for certain patients such as those who develop infections from electronic pacemakers

or fetuses with life-threatening heart disorders who cannot have an electronic pacemaker implanted the researchers said.

Babies still in the womb cannot have a pacemaker study researcher Dr. Eugenio Cingolani director of the Cardiogenetics-Familial Arrhythmia Clinic at Cedars-Sinai Heart Institute in Los angeles said in a statement.

New biological pacemaker In healthy people a small region of the heart called the sinoatrial node fires the electrical impulses that determine heart rate.

Such patients may have electronic pacemakers put in to monitor the heart rhythm which sends electrical pulses to keep the heart beating normally.

The newly created node then takes over as a functional pacemaker bypassing the need for implanted electronics and hardware.

In addition the hearts of pigs with the biological pacemaker were able to speed up during exercise

and slow down during rest much better than the hearts of pigs without the biological pacemaker.

and provide an encouraging indication that a biological pacemaker might eventually be ready for human translation Dr. Nikhil Munshi

In addition it could be problematic if the virus ends up in multiple places in the heart and forms more than one biological pacemaker.

If multiple pacemaker foci were to form there would be the potential for'competition'between the foci

and the concern would be that competing pacemakers would be less efficient in setting a consistent heart rate Munshi told Live Science.
