Tiger escapes Mexico zoo near Texas border still remains on the loose.

-

Although it has been seen, the tiger that escaped from a Mexico zoo close to the Texas border last week is still at loose. 


According to KGBT-TV, the Hidalgo County Sheriff's Office announced on Wednesday that a male Bengal tiger had escaped the Quinta La Fauna zoo in the Mexican border city of Reynosa, Tamaulipas. This raised concerns that the cat might have made its way into Texas. The Reynosa Department of Public Security posted on Facebook on Saturday, stating that although attempts have been made, the at-large tiger has been visualised but not neutralised. The zoo has been closed since September 4th. The department earlier released a picture of the tiger but did not provide an explanation for how it got out.

After the tiger escaped, Reynosa Mayor Carlos Peña Ortiz collaborated with authorities to organise multiple locations for the animal's location, according to the agency.The agency reported that on Saturday, workers found his tracks and excrement... Presumably, the animal poses a risk to other people. Officers in charge of public safety are still telling people not to approach or "try to catch it" in order to protect themselves. It is recommended that anyone who sees the tiger dial 911.


According to KRGV-TV, Reynosa Environmental Protection Director Aarón de la Cruz stated that attempts on Saturday to shoot the tiger with a neutralising dart were unsuccessful... It eventually raced off and hid amid many trees after following the tiger, De la Cruz told KRGV-TV. Also, the director posted a picture of it hidden under multiple trees.


According to Houston publication Chron, the tiger appears to be the same one that Tony, who was brought to the zoo in July, is named. Chron claims Tony has murdered hens and piglets in the area and left paw prints for rescuers to follow. Sunday, in an attempt to apprehend him without harming anyone, crews set up motion detection cameras, bait, and trap cages throughout the region.

Ozempic Weight-loss drugs to Slow Down Ageing Process, scientists suggest

-

Drugs for weight loss have the potential to completely transform healthcare by delaying the aging process and extending life expectancy and quality of life. Leading scientists have made this stark statement in response to research that were presented at the European Society of Cardiology Conference in London last week. Studies have already shown that semaglutide , which is marketed under the names Ozempic and Wegovy , lowers the risk of death in patients with cardiovascular disease who are overweight or obese. However, more recent research has shown that Ozempic has effects that go beyond what was once thought to be possible for the medication. Researchers found that those who took the medication died at a decreased rate from all causes, not just cardiovascular ones. "Semaglutide has far-reaching benefits beyond what we initially imagined," Yale School of Medicine Professor Harlan Krumholz stated. It goes beyond just preventing heart attacks. They are advocates for ...

Matching dinosaur footprints found more than 3,700 miles apart

A team of paleontologists found matching dinosaur footprints on what are now two different continents, separated by thousands of miles of ocean.  The footprints, dating back to the Early Cretaceous period, were found in Brazil and in Cameroon , researchers wrote in a study published Monday by the New Mexico Museum of Natural History & Science. The discovery shows where land-dwelling dinosaurs were able to cross freely between South America and Africa before the two continents split apart millions of years ago . The study showed that the more than 260 footprints that were examined were imprinted in mud and silt along historic rivers and lakes; the footprints in South America and Africa were separated by more than 3,700 kilometers. Paleontologists discovered that they shared similarities in terms of age, shape, and plate tectonic and geological settings. According to Louis Jacobs , a paleontologist at Southern Methodist Universit y, dinosaurs left their mark 120 million year...
