Adorable new faces lure visitors to Highland Wildlife Park
One of Scotland’s biggest visitor attractions is looking forward to a busy autumn, as its two news arrivals continue to draw in the crowds. The Royal Zoological Society of Scotland’s (RZSS) Highland Wildlife Park announced the birth of two rare snow leopard cubs earlier this year. And in the months since the pair have ventured outside their den and started exploring their surroundings. Sign up to our daily newsletter Sign up Thank you for signing up!

The adorable snow leopard cubs born in May were confirmed to be a boy and a girl during their first routine health check by expert keepers and vets at the wildlife conservation charity. And last month the park revealed that the two cubs had officially been named Indra and Tama following a public vote. Indra is a male Nepalese name and Tama is one of the rivers that makes up the Koshi river system. The Royal Zoological Society...

Thanks, @akgrl33.bsky.social! I’d heard America’s first Astrochimp got a marker at the zoo where he lived out his retirement. I paid my respects to Ham in November 2024 at his gravesite: the International Space Hall of Fame. It’s in Alamogordo, NM, where he trained for his 1961 spaceflight.
Sign with an arrow pointing to Ham’s gravesite at the International Space Hall of Fame in Alamogordo, New Mexico Ham’s gravesite at the International Space Hall of Fame in Alamogordo, New Mexico. Grave marker for: World’s First Astrochimp Ham Born: 1955 Cameroons, Equatorial Africa; Died: 18 Jan. 1983 North Carolina Zoological Park, N.C.; Ham was trained at Holloman AFB, Aeromedical Research Laboratory. His name is an acronym for Holloman Aero Med. Ham's training culminated on Jan. 3, 1961, by riding in a capsule perched atop an 83-foot Redstone rocket launched from Cape Canaveral, Florida. Reaching a top speed of 5,800 mph and an altitude of 155 miles, he was recovered at sea 420 miles down range from the launch site. Ham proved that mankind could live and work in space.

Red panda Bruce needed a trip to the dentist
Vets at Edinburgh Zoo administered general anaesthetic to red panda Bruce so that they could conduct a health check-up after keepers noticed he was off his food. On closer inspection vets at the Royal Zoological Society of Scotland (RZSS) were happy to discover that his only problem was a poorly tooth. The Zoo vets removed the tooth and gave Bruce a full-body MOT at the same time to make sure he was otherwise well. He was given a clean bill of health and is now back in his habitat. He can be seen exploring for bamboo and napping in the trees as usual. Visitors looking to see Bruce scaling his pine trees can book tickets to Edinburgh Zoo online at edinburghzoo.org.uk/tickets

First, a bit of context on how animals & groups are given scientific names, and why certain suffixes can stick around when it comes to give names to new species

#Cheliceratime
2/4
Naming organisms 101 Although scientific names of organisms can seem weird sometimes (one of my personal favourites being the the wasp Aha ha), every single one of them need to have an meaning explicited in the publication first mentioning said name. Numerous rules, listed in the International Commission on Zoological Nomenclature for animals, rule how species & genera can be named in detail, while upper ranks often have greater flexibility (even tho families & sub/super ranks derived from it all have designated suffix). A species’ name is always binomial, having first the genus name, and then the species’ specific part. Naming organisms 101 Each given name is derived from pre-existing words (traditionaly latin and greek were often used but science is becoming more and more accepting of other linguistic origins to reflect science’s plurality), often chose to depict morphology, age, locality or particular feature. It can sometimes be a derivation of another species’ scientific name (like how the dinosaur genus Parasaurolophus was at first derived from another hadrosaurid dinosaur called Saurolophus), or be an hommage to someone’s name, as in Heteropoda davidbowie. However, it often happens that some suffixes are found in numerous related species’ names. Kokomopterus longicaudatus => “the fin of Kokomo with a long tail” Why use similar etymological roots? These similarities often reflect science history, as many groups were built on a species from which names of others were derived. They can also reflect past hypothesis (making scientific name an absolute treasure of knowledge in science history), like how Megarachne and Basilosaurus, both thought to be a spider and a reptile at first, are now respectively an eurypterid and a cetacean. The use of shared etymological roots is often an unsaid naming convention to give a group an identity of its own just with names. They can also be relevant to follow the methodology behind species’ identification, as numerous insects’ names are related to wing morphology and extinct mammals’ ones derived from teeth morphology. -arachne => Arachnida => Arachnopulmonata => Douglassarachne => Megarachne Why use similar etymological roots? Another butterfly effect is to sometimes ease the comprehension of scientific names by non-biology nerds: the recurrence of certain etymological roots, especially ones similar to common names, can be a huge help to understand quicker what an animal is just by looking at its name. As a science communicator (yup I’m gonna put my own thoughts here), it can be really helpful when talking to people about extinct and/or weird species, as it gives them mental checkpoints to understand at their pace new knowledge. -scorpio => Scorpion (common name) => Sardoscorpius/Gigantoscorpio/Pulmonoscorpius/Heteroscorpion (scientific names)
