Activities are underway to mark Multiple Sclerosis Awareness Month, set aside each year to call attention to the neurodegenerative disorder estimated to affect almost 1 million U.S. residents.
Patients, caregivers, family, and friends nationwide are running fundraisers, learning how to become activists, participating in educational and community discussions, and flooding social media platforms all to heighten awareness of multiple sclerosis (MS) among the general public, as well as to draw the attention of policymakers, public authorities, industry representatives, scientists, and health professionals.
The pup measures 16.4 inches from snout to base of tail and weighs 1.4 pounds
Isotopic analysis of her exceptionally preserved body reveal traces of salmon
A mummified baby grey wolf with a perfectly preserved head, tail, paws and fur has been found in Yukon, northern Canada.
The seven-week-old female wolf pup, christened Zhùr, had been locked in permafrost – ground that remains completely frozen – for 57,000 years.

Researchers think the 1.4-pound pup, who had traces of salmon in her gut, died quickly after her den collapsed, possibly when her mother was out hunting.
Zhùr was found by a gold miner who was blasting water at a wall of frozen mud in 2016, but is only now being described in a paper, published in Current Biology.
