National Geographic Headlines Week of March 3rd: Wolves, Hexapus

Here are some interesting headlines from last week's National Geographic Feed:

1. Pronghorn Thrives in Wolves Shadow - The researchers said that during a three-year study, pronghorn fawns were three times more likely to survive in areas dominated by wolves versus those ruled by coyotes. That's because wolves favor larger prey, such as elk or cattle, and generally leave pronghorn alone. .

This is just another great example of how little we know about how components of nature work together (even when we think we have it figured out!)

2. What Do You Call an Octopus with only six legs? A Hexapus, silly! This six-legged octopus is not a new species and doesn't appear to have been affected by an accident. He appears to only have six legs due to a genetic mutation. He is getting around just fine at his home in the British Aquarium.
