New Discovery Went Viral
Nuren was collecting his nets when he noticed that he had accidentally caught an adult shark. He opened the shark s belly and spotted three pups inside. Two of the pups looked perfectly normal but one looked completely strange. I originally found a mother shark caught in the trawler net. The next day I split the belly of the mother shark and found three pups in the stomach. Two were like the mother and this one looked like it had a human face, Nuren explained.

Wildlife project research, particularly those centered on measuring the excess and densities of huge mammals, are resource and time-extensive. Huge carnivores like leopards have some ranges that last several square kilometers. To execute good research to deduce their numbers, the number in a particular region must be recorded without losing track or making a lot of mistakes.
To battle the demand for efficiency, reduce manual effort, and robustness, scientists are rapidly employing creative methods to compile and assess data. In this view, camera traps make work much more simple and a huge plus is that they can record data as photographs.
