In a quirky wildlife saga, Maggie the king penguin, brought to a Cotswold park to enhance England's breeding colony, was discovered to be male after eight years of unsuccessful breeding attempts. Meanwhile, conservationists are concerned about the impact of feeding red squirrels human foods, which may alter their natural feeding habits and jaw structure, leading to potential health issues. On a brighter note, artificial intelligence is being applied to manage grey squirrel populations by allowing controlled food access based on species, aiding in the conservation efforts for the endangered red squirrels.
Officials at a Cotswold wildlife park were baffled about why Maggie the king penguin had failed to charm male counterparts, only to discover she was actually male.
University College London researchers found that red squirrels fed peanuts developed a jaw shape that affects their bite, weakening their ability to eat natural food.
