Bird Flu Spreads to Mammals. First time that it spreads mammal to mammal. WHO urges authorities to remain vigilant—but not panic

Corridors between Western U.S. national parks would greatly increase the persistence time of mammals. Establishing an expanded protected area network based on identified mammal pathways and incorporating adjacent wilderness areas would greatly enlarge available habitat for mammal species

Bats are mammals, not birds, as they give birth to a live young, nurse their young, and have hair. This makes bats the only mammal capable of natural flight

How likely are these traits in mammals/mammal-like organisms?
r/SpeculativeEvolution

Where evolution meets science fiction and art. Speculative Evolution (also called Speculative Biology and Speculative Zoology) is the envisioning of fictional, but scientifically possible creatures that could have existed on an alternate Earth, or might actually exist somewhere on another planet or in the deep sea.

How likely are these traits in mammals/mammal-like organisms?

So I'm designing a set of islands where a series of hexapod lagomorphic creatures undergo divergent evolution. However, I feel like I went too far with a species that evolved to live in rocky mountains. I envisioned it to have evolved flight by becoming a living ballon, filling air sacs within its body with either hydrogen or helium along with being bioluminescent. How plausible is it for such traits to evolve?



Scientists have sequenced the mitochondrial genome for the Hispaniolan solenodon, a venomous mammal found only on Hispaniola. Findings confirm that the the species diverged from all other living mammals 78 million years ago, long before an asteroid wiped out the dinosaurs.

Solenodon: This bizarre venomous mammal that survived the asteroid that killed the dinosaurs has had its genome sequenced for the first time. Scientists found the genus most likely diverged from other living mammals around 73.6 million years ago, before the devastating asteroid impact.

TIL that menstruation is actually very rare in mammals. Other than humans, only 9 primate species, 4 bat species, the elephant shrew, and one species of mouse menstruate. All other female mammals reabsorb their uterine lining, rather than shed it
