The ASPCA says during the first few weeks of shelter-in-place measures, it saw a nearly 70 percent increase in animals going into foster homes through its programs in New York and Los Angeles, compared with the same period in 2019. Since lockdowns began in the US in March, animal shelters and rescue agencies around the country have reported a huge increase in the number of requests Persian kitten for sale Nyc pet adoptions or fostering.

A snake, a bird and a cat. Researchers at Swansea University in Wales wanted to know more about a group of ancient Egyptian animal mummies that dated back over 2,000 years.

"Using micro CT we can effectively carry out a post-mortem on these animals, more than 2,000 years after they died in ancient Egypt," said Swansea's Richard Johnston, lead author of a paper on the mummies published in the journal Scientific Reports on Thursday.

While most of us are familiar with the use of mummification as a burial practice, Swansea notes that "the most common animal mummies were votive offerings, bought by visitors to temples to offer to the gods, to act as a means of communication with them." The university estimates that as many as 70 million animals were mummified by temple priests to supply this practice.

At the age of two, the 6ft tall beauty was gracing the BabyPhat catwalk and after being scouted by a modelling agency at Harvard University as a teen, she has since become a force to be reckoned with in the fashion and beauty industry.

This new understanding of the ancient predator's size might help scientists figure out the mystery of why it went extinct. The researchers studied how modern sharks grew and applied that growth curve data to megalodons.

"[Facebook] has been an absolute gift, it's an incredible tool to reach people," she said. "It's kind of a separate universe when you're talking about animal love -- It's a really nice section of our universe."

"For people that work long hours, adopting probably wasn't a realistic option," she said. Everybody's looking for joy and for some sense of hope and normalcy … animals certainly do that for us." "But working at home for the foreseeable future completely changes that scenario.

"Analysis of bone fractures shows it was ultimately killed by a whipping action, prior to possibly undergoing an 'opening of the mouth' procedure during mummification" Swansea said. "If true, this demonstrates the first evidence for complex ritualistic behavior applied to a snake." 

Returning to work Though Wonder Dog's Beenau also welcomes the swell to adopt, she's concerned about the post-pandemic future. If people start returning to the office or resume frequent travel, she'd hate to see them start surrendering their pets.

But when the coronavirus vaporized those excuses, we returned to Penngrove, California-based Wonder Dog Rescue and fell for the photo of an adorable beagle shepherd called Shelly. Zooming in on your next pet My husband and I used the pandemic as an excuse to get another dog. We always talked ourselves out of it due to work and travel schedules. We'd discussed adopting again since our previous pooch, Clara Grace, died last year.

But then all of the traditional ways stopped." "Foster owners don't want potential adopters coming into their homes." said Linda Beenau, Wonder Dog's founder and director. "It was a lot easier when you did the mobile adoptions because we could ask people to show up at the adoption or at our office.

Previous efforts to suss out megalodon's size relied on comparing the extinct beast with great white sharks, which can top 20 feet (6 meters) in length. The study's lead author, Jack Cooper, and his team expanded the comparison to include five modern sharks. 

"Animals provide incredible comfort during times of crisis like the COVID-19 pandemic," said Matt Bershadker, ASPCA president and CEO. "We're proud to support animal welfare organizations nationwide who are innovating and adapting their services to safely connect local animals with loving homes." 

"We pooled detailed measurements of all five to make predictions about megalodon." "Megalodon is not a direct ancestor of the great white but is equally related to other macropredatory sharks such as the makos, salmon shark and porbeagle shark, as well as the great white," said co-author Catalina Pimiento of Swansea University.

Rescued from a San Jose, California, shelter after being found as a stray (we figure she was abandoned after being kept to have litters), Shelly was living with a foster owner in San Francisco. A few days later, we took Shelly on a (masked) trial walk near the foster's home. As Shelly, sometimes just her wagging tail, wandered in and out of the shot, the foster owner described her sweet temperament and the time they had spent together. A week after that we picked her up for good. Our first meeting was over a Zoom call.
