Dire wolves last shared a common ancestor with living wolf-like species approximately 5.7 million years ago, according to a Nature paper. The findings also suggest that this extinct species originated in the Americas. https://t.co/LUeHjmbhpl

This is a mountain hare humerus from Robin Hood Cave. This week, @AlexEJamieson from the University of Oxford sampled this bone for DNA as part of her PhD research. #FossilFriday

Scottish wildcats are close to extinction, but there are ambitious plans to create a National Wildlife Reintroductions Centre in the Cairngorms. This is a unique opportunity, perhaps the only opportunity, to save the Highland Tiger.

😻 SCOTTISH WILDCAT KITTEN BORN 😻

They are Britain's RAREST mammal and only 100 remain in the wild. That's why this little kitten is so incredibly special...
