#Poachers Killed More than 100,000 Elephants in 3 Years This story was updated at 10:32 am ET on Aug 19.
Poachers are hunting the animal faster than it can reproduce with deaths affecting more than half of elephant families in the Samburu National Reserve in Kenya a new study finds.
since 1998 poachers killed an estimated 40000 elephants or about 8 percent of the elephant population in Africa.
but people unfortunately like their ivory tusks said the study's lead researcher George Wittemyer an assistant professor of fish wildlife and conservation biology at Colorado State university.
Poachers killed an average of 33630 elephants every year from 2010 to 2012 resulting in more than 100000 deaths across the continent the study found.
The resulting friction called the friction coefficient between the shoe sole and banana skin was comparable to a well-lubricated surface like a ski on snow the researchers wrote in their paper on the study detailed online in 2012 the journal Tribology.
which could affect fish and other marine animals that nourish themselves in these nutrient-rich waters according to a new study.
Researchers found that years with weak upwelling were associated with slower growth in fish populations and lower reproduction rates for seabirds the researchers said.
These organisms are the backbone of the marine ecosystem and support huge populations of fish and seabirds.
To determine how upwelling influenced marine life the researchers used data on yearly fish population growth since the 1940s along with data on seabird egg laying and the survival of baby seabirds since the 1970s.
By comparing the tree-ring data to the fish and seabird statistics the researchers found that years with weak upwelling

Important interspecific interactions between sloths their moths and algae-#seem to be reinforcing or even dictating important aspects of sloth behavior especially their ritualized behavior of descending the tree to defecate wildlife ecologist Jonathan Pauli of the University of Wisconsin-Madison leader of the study published today (Jan 21) in the journal Proceedings of the Royal Society

whether it matched algae in the fur which would indicate the sloths were consuming it.
In addition the team found larger amounts of inorganic nitrogen and algae in the fur of the three-toed sloths.
The algae in the sloths'forestomachs also matched that found in their fur. When the sloths relieve themselves their insect tenants lay eggs in the dung
Fungi in the sloths'environment may be decomposing dead moths fostering the growth of algae. Or the moths may be directly transferring nutrients from the sloth dung to their fur where algae can grow.
The sloths consume the algae which is rich in fatty compounds and gives them energy. In addition to being a tasty nutritional supplement the algae may serve as camouflage against predators from above such as the Harpy eagle.
The symbiotic relationship among sloths moths and algae could explain why it's hard to keep three-toed sloths well nourished in the highly sanitized environments in captivity.

It is so slow in fact that algae grows on its fur according to National geographic. The algae works to the sloth's advantage though.
The green of the algae helps the sloth blend into the trees hiding it from predators.
Placoderms (the armored fishes) underwent wide diversification and became the dominant marine predators. Placoderms had simple jaws but not true teeth.
Cartilaginous fish such as sharks and rays were common by the late Devonian. Devonian strata also contain the first fossil ammonites.
The Ray-finned fish were the ancestors of most modern fish. Like modern fish their paired pelvic
The Lobe-finned fish were more common during the Devonian than the Ray fins but largely died out.
The coelacanth and a few species of lungfish are the only Lobe-finned fishes left today. Lobe-finned fishes had fleshy pectoral
and pelvic fins articulating to the shoulder or pelvis by a single bone (humerus or femur)
Lobe-finned fishes are accepted the ancestors of all tetrapods. Plants which had begun colonizing the land during the Silurian period continued to make evolutionary progress during the Devonian.
Early tetrapods probably evolved from Lobe-finned fishes able to use their muscular fins to take advantage of the predator-free and food-rich environment of the new wetland ecosystems.
Dated from the mid-Devonian this fossil creature is considered to be the link between the lobe-finned fishes and early amphibians.
