With their hand-like feet, orangutans are incredibly dexterous and agile, travelling with ease through the trees. Like all great apes, they have large brains. Combining this with their dexterous digits, orangutans exhibit behaviour we might consider ‘human’. They use tools such as sticks to fish termites, ants and bees out of holes in trees. They have also been observed making themselves a type of glove from leaves which protects their hands from thorny branches and spiky fruit. Orangutans even a rudimentary equivalent of an umbrella, as they hold large leaves over their heads to shelter from the rain!

Kupe travelled around the North Island naming many of the locations he passed and vowed never to return to the land he discovered. When he returned home, Kupe described New Zealand as a place with no people; “I saw no one; what I did see was a kokako, a tiwaiwaka, and a weka (ie birds), whistling away in the gullies; kokako was ko-ing on the ridges, and tiwaiwaka was flitting about before my face.” This narrative firmly places Kupe as the first person to discover New Zealand.

As the myth comes from an oral tradition, there are variations on this story between the different Māori Iwi (tribes). For instance, when Kupe first comes across New Zealand, in the Ngāti Kurī telling, he mistakes Houhora mountain for a whale, whereas the Ngāti Kahu state the fishing tide resulted in Kupe landing in the Hokianga Harbour. The variation could be due to the tribes wishing to link themselves to Kupe.

An estimated 35 to 41 leopards live in the Sanjay Gandhi National Park, on the outskirts of Mumbai. Photographs of the beautiful animals against the backdrop of the bright lights of India’s most populated city are jaw-dropping but belie current leopard-human tensions. As much as people complain about foxes and raccoons in their urban backyards in other areas of the world, leopards can actually attack and cause fatal injuries to humans. As leopard habitats shrink and they move into the cities to survive, some communities are afraid to leave their houses. Children in affected areas must walk around in groups of six or more. However, a recent study suggested that the leopards may be protecting their human neighbours from rabies. Around 40% of the leopards’ diet is feral dogs, which is the main source of the deadly virus.

Many native animals of Patagonia have been displaced due to habitat loss, mostly due to sheep and cattle farming.25 “Almost 90% of the steppe (scrubland) has been degraded by farming,” says Eden producer & director, Justine Allen. It’s reduced the numbers of the guanaco, which in turn means pumas are forced to find other sources of food. “This has led to a heightened human-predator conflict between pumas and ranchers.”

Even the remote Galápagos Islands are not free from problems caused by what humans have brought with them. Dogs have been a threat to tortoise eggs, native iguana species, and penguins – and a new wasp species has caused a decline in caterpillar larvae, a food source for finches.26 But sometimes nature itself is the problem. In May 2021, Darwin’s Arch, a famous rock formation off the Galapagos Islands, collapsed due to natural erosion.

Long-term monogamy in lizards is rare, but the shingleback (also known as the bobtail or Australian sleepy lizard) is the exception. Although they mostly live in solitude, these small, slow-moving lizards return to the same partner year after year for the mating season. According to Michael Bull et al’s study, Why is Social Behaviour Rare in Lizards? Lessons from Sleepy Lizards , most lizards form long-term bonds of around 10 to 15 years – although one relationship lasted as long as 27 years and was still going strong at the end of the experiment. This is because those who return to an existing partner can begin mating quicker than those still trying to find a mate, leading to an increased chance of successful fertilisation. And while new couples are getting to know each other, those who have already done the deed can spend more time focusing on their pregnancy – and watching out for predators.

Understanding why corals are so vulnerable to climate change involves understanding a particular quirk of their biology: while most people think corals are plants (or even rocks), they are in fact animals. Not just animals, but clonal organisms that live in clusters of genetically identical units, called polyps. Adding to their complexity, those polyps live in symbiotic relationships with algae that reside in their tissues and photosynthesize sunlight like plants, functioning as tiny cellular batteries. These algae provide up to 90 per cent of a coral’s energy, providing them with both nourishment and pigmentation.
