Dengue viruses are spread to people through the bites of infected Aedes species mosquitoes. These are the same types of mosquitoes that spread Zika and chikungunya viruses. Mosquitoes become infected with the dengue virus when they bite a person infected with the virus. Infected mosquitoes can then spread the virus to other people through bites.

At what time and in what location wolves became dogs and whether it was only a one-time event are questions that a large research team, composed of once competing scientists, has just started to tackle. The researchers are visiting museums, universities, and other institutions around the world to study collections of canine fossils and bones, and they are readying genetic samples from ancient and modern dogs and wolves for the most comprehensive comparison to date. When they are finished, they will be very close to knowing when and where—if not exactly how—wolves first began down the path toward becoming our trusted companions. Answers to these questions will complement the growing body of evidence for how humans and dogs influenced one another after that relationship was first forged.

Bambi is the title character in Felix Salten's 1923 novel, Bambi, a Life in the Woods, and its sequel, Bambi's Children, as well as the Disney animated films Bambi and Bambi II. The character also appears in Salten's novels Perri and Fifteen Rabbits. Early German-language editions of the novels were illustrated by Hans Bertle. In the films, Bambi's species was changed from a roe deer to a white-tailed deer, which would be more familiar to American audiences. His image is a Disney icon, comparable to the recognition of Jiminy Cricket or Tinkerbell, and he is even shown on Disney stock certificates.

The woolly mammoth is perhaps the most well-known extinct mammal, but the charismatic creature wasn't around for very long. As members of the family Elephantidae, woolly mammoths were themselves elephants. Their last common ancestor with modern-day elephants lived somewhere in Africa about 6 million years ago. Scientists think woolly mammoths evolved about 700,000 years ago from populations of steppe mammoths living in Siberia. Wooly mammoths were roaming Earth's northern latitudes during the construction of the Great Pyramid of Giza. The last mammoths lived on islands off the coast of Alaska and Siberia and fell victim to human activity.

Yellowstone National Park is the only place in the U.S. that’s always had a wild bison population. Everywhere else, the animals went extinct and were later introduced again. So, Yellowstone is without question the first place you should go if you want to see American bison in their natural habitat. Additionally, the Yellowstone National Park bison herds are also unique for being the nation’s largest bison population on federal land and because it doesn’t consist of bison that are hybridized through interbreeding with cattle.

The gorilla is one of the strongest animals on the planet. With such muscular and elongated arms, it is at least six times stronger than the average human. Its bite can also generate approximately 1,300 pounds of pressure per square inch. As the largest primate, a typical male gorilla can weigh anywhere between 200 and 500 pounds. Although largely herbivorous and not very aggressive, its intimidating display can scare off even the most dangerous animals.

Dolly (5 July 1996 – 14 February 2003) was a female Finnish Dorset sheep and the first mammal cloned from an adult somatic cell in the 1990s. She was cloned by associates of the Roslin Institute in Scotland, using the process of nuclear transfer from a cell taken from a mammary gland. Her cloning proved that a cloned organism could be produced from a mature cell from a specific body part. Contrary to popular belief, she was not the first animal to be cloned.

Standing 2 feet tall at the shoulder and built somewhat like a barrel with legs, the “capy” has long, light brown, shaggy hair, a face that looks like a beaver’s, no tail, and slightly webbed feet. Originally thought to be a pig of some sort, we now know that the capybara is a rodent, closely related to cavies and guinea pigs.

The mountain lion—also known as the panther, cougar, puma, or catamount—is a large cat species native to the Americas. Mountain lions are large, tan cats. Their bodies are mainly covered in tawny-beige fur, except for the whitish-gray belly and chest. Black markings decorate the tip of the tail, ears, and around the snout. Mountain lions vary hugely in average body size depending on geographic location—their size is the smallest closer to the equator and largest closer to the poles. Generally, though, males weigh between 115 and 220 pounds and females weigh between 64 and 141 pounds.

Boa constrictors are nonvenomous snakes found in Central and South America. They are named after their mode of predation: constriction. It is commonly believed that boa constrictors subdue their prey by crushing their bones or squeezing their lungs to suffocate them, but recent research on the constriction method revealed that these snakes employ a different strategy altogether. Once the snake has its body wrapped around the prey, it squeezes just enough to cause a “circulatory arrest” by cutting off the ability of the heart to pump blood in and out. By keeping blood from flowing to the brain, the animal dies.

Like a typical Great Dane, Scooby has lanky, skinny legs and a long, stocky torso. However, Scooby has a less refined frame and body type than most Great Danes. According to Iwao Takamoto, one of the creators of the original series, Scooby’s rough features were no accident.

Penguins are a family of 17 to 19 species of birds that live primarily in the Southern Hemisphere. Though they are birds, penguins have flippers instead of wings. They cannot fly and on land, they waddle walking upright—though when snow conditions are right they will slide on their bellies. In the water, they are expert swimmers and divers, and some species can reach speeds of up to 15 miles per hour.

It has often been said that bees are responsible for one out of every three bites of food we eat. Most crops grown for their fruits, nuts, seeds, fiber, and hay, require pollination by insects. Pollinating insects also play a critical role in maintaining natural plant communities and ensuring the production of seeds in most flowering plants. Pollination is the transfer of pollen from the male parts of a flower to the female parts of a flower of the same species, which results in the fertilization of plant ovaries and the production of seeds. The main insect pollinators, by far, are bees.

One of the camel’s most notable physical traits is its hump or humps. While the dromedary camel has one hump, the Bactrian camel has two humps. They store fat in these humps, which later can be used as an energy source. They have other features that allow them to survive in the desert, such as double rows of extra-long eyelashes to help keep sand out of the eyes. They are also able to close their nostrils to keep out sand.
