 Searching for evidence of the "extinct" Javan tiger, Indonesia

Indonesia is looking for proof that the supposedly extinct Javan tiger may not be completely extinct.

An official from the nation's environment ministry disclosed the search for evidence of the big cat's survival on Tuesday. The search will involve the use of camera traps and comprehensive DNA sweeps. It is thought that the 1980s saw the extinction of the species.

The National Research and Innovation Agency (BRIN) proposed in a research published last week that a solitary tiger hair strand discovered in West Java in 2019 matched the traits of the unique species, prompting the start of the inquiry.

According to the study, which was released by Cambridge University Press, a local named Ripi Yanur Fajar claimed to have seen a Javan tiger at a plantation in a jungle close to Sukabumi city in the province of West Java. The villager observed claw and footprint traces while gathering the hair strand from a fence.

"The findings have led to conjecture that the Javan tiger remains extant in the wild," stated Satyawan Pudyatmoko, the ministry representative in charge of conservation. "We are ready to respond to it, and we will prepare accordingly."

Only Sumatran tigers survive in the archipelago nation after poaching and forest clearing for plantations decimated the native Javan and Balinese tigers in the 1980s and 1940s, respectively.

Less than 400 Sumatran tigers are thought to remain in the wild, making them a critically endangered species according to the International Union for Conservation of Nature. Poachers frequently target Sumatran tigers for their body parts.

If it can be demonstrated that the Javan tiger is still alive, it will undoubtedly be preserved. All parties, including society, have a responsibility to contribute to the preservation of their population, according to Pudyatmoko.

Head of WWF Indonesia's forest and wildlife program Muhammad Ali Imron advised caution while sharing the results with the public to avoid warning hunters.

He stated that more investigation was required to verify the tiger's existence.

LONDON: According to The Times, archaeologists have discovered hundreds of artifacts and human remains in a secret tomb in Petra, Jordan. Researchers may be able to answer long-standing doubts about the ancient city's origins and its builders thanks to the discovery of the 2,000-year-old underground location. The tomb, which was beneath Petra's Treasury, had hundreds of bronze, iron, and ceramic objects in addition to twelve well-preserved skeletons. The renowned structure, which has been portrayed in movies like "Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade," was excavated beneath it by the combined US-Jordanian archaeological team that discovered the discovery. The tomb is thought to have been commissioned by residents of high social status based on its central location inside the UNESCO World Heritage Site. Lead archaeologist Dr. Pearce Paul Creasman, executive director of the American Center of Research, anticipates hundreds more items to be found as excavation proceeds. Th...

The discovery of one of the oldest fossils ever found provides new insight into the evolution of dinosaur

"It's amazing to be the first person to touch something that existed 237 million years ago." The rise of the dinosaurs may be explained by a fossil that is thought to be among the oldest ever discovered. The discovery of the 237 million-year-old reptile was reported by Brazilian scientists. The four-legged reptile species, known as Gondwanax paraisensis, was around one meter (39 inches) long, weighed between three and six kilograms (7 and 13 pounds), and was about the size of a small dog with a long tail, the scientists said in a statement on Monday. When the planet was much hotter, the little reptile would have probably traversed the area that is now southern Brazil. It has been determined that the fossil belongs to the extinct silesaurid group of reptiles. Whether silesaurids were actual dinosaurs or perhaps a forerunner of the animals that formerly ruled the planet is up for contention among paleontologists. According to the statement, "knowing the traits of these...
