MISSOULA â A large grizzly bear can weigh up to 800 pounds and for a large animal to take such steps a lot of energy must be used to carry all that weight around. But until recently little was known about the energy expenditures grizzlies had as they moved around their habitats.
Usually, the fattest females produce the fastest-growing cubs that also have the best chance of survival. Similarly, the biggest males do most of the breeding. Therefore, bear foraging and which decision they make on where to walk are probably closely tied to maximizing energy intake while minimizing energy expenditures.

WSU researchers: Despite COVID-19 infection, it is safe to continue breastfeeding

PULLMAN, Wash. Researchers at Washington State University have discovered that breastfeeding mothers who have COVID-19 transfer antibodies to their babies without passing along the virus.
The new study, published in mBio, looked at 37 milk samples submitted by 18 women infected with COVID-19. None of the milk samples studied contained the virus, but nearly two-thirds of the samples did contain two antibodies specific to COVID-19.
“The results indicate that it is safe for moms to continue to breastfeed during a COVID-19 infection with proper precautions,” Courtney Meehan, a WSU anthropology professor and co-author on the study, said.
