RSCPA urges 'do not buy popular summer toy' as it 'poses deadly risk' to animals
RSCPA urges 'do not buy popular summer toy' as it 'poses deadly risk' to animals The animal welfare charity urged people to think twice before using the toys Brits have been urged not to buy a popular toy that a welfare charity says poses a deadly risk to animals. The RSPCA highlighted the risk in a new plea shared on social media this week. Taking to Facebook, the animal welfare charity explained that flying rings could kill animals if they end up in rivers or seas.
How to be Non-Human : A Thematic Analysis of Animal Embodiment in VR Games
Announce Type: new Abstract: This study employs a reflexive thematic analysis to systematically examine the design patterns of 48 first-person Virtual reality (VR) animal avatar games. The research identifies four primary design themes: Animal Biomimicry, Limited Animal Simulation, Hybrid HumanAnimal Features, and Human Behavior with Animal Avatar. The analysis reveals that approximately 77 percent of the games remain grounded in human-centered interaction logic, with animal forms primarily...
Turbulence-based parametrization of animal flight
Announce Type: replace Abstract: Animals capable of powered flight range in wingspan from a few hundred microns to a few meters. The inertial turbulence to which these animals are exposed features vortices ranging from a few hundred micrometers to hundreds of kilometers in size. Yet, the impact of ambient turbulence on animal flight is virtually uncharted and most studies on animal flight are conducted in still air or under laminar conditions.
Diamonds in the Sky: Pareidolic Animals in Clouds
Announce Type: new Abstract: People often see animal shapes in clouds, a phenomenon known as pareidolia. We propose an AI-based method that aims to predict which animals people are likely to perceive in clouds, even though state-of-the-art recognition methods typically fail to detect such animals. Additionally, we introduce a method to assist individuals in perceiving specific pareidolic animals, even if they did not recognize them initially.

Animals were sharpening their senses long before the Cambrian explosion, ancient tracks reveal
Animals were sharpening their senses long before the Cambrian explosion, ancient tracks reveal Lisa Lock Scientific Editor Robert Egan Associate Editor Tracks left by some of the earliest complex animals are giving new insights into how they experienced the world. New research reveals how these creatures started to understand their surroundings, paving the way for animal life to spread across the planet. Today, many of us take our five senses for granted.
Beyond Humans: Multispecies Animal Face Recognition Using Transfer Learning
arXiv:2606.09353v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Individual animal recognition can be useful in the search for lost or stolen pets, the tracking of individuals of endangered species, and the recognition of animals in crowded farms. Present recognition techniques mostly use physical devices, e.g., microchips, often impractical and difficult to apply. These could be replaced by remote recognition via the animal's face; if accurate enough, it provides several advantages: it is non-invasive, can...
Bank of England reveals which animals could feature on new banknotes
Bank of England reveals which animals could feature on new banknotes Animals are set to replace historical figures on Bank of England notes in the biggest such change since the 1960s The Bank of England is planning on replacing historical figures on banknotes with animals - chosen by the public. Gone will be Sir Winston Churchill on the £5, Jane Austen on the £10, JMW Turner on the £20, and Alan Turing on the £50 note. Instead, they will feature a selection of wildlife, native to the UK,...
All animals die after fire at children's play centre and mini zoo
All animals die after fire at children's play centre and mini zoo A children's play centre in Hertfordshire that also included a mini zoo has seen all its animals tragically perish in an overnight fire. A fire at a children's soft play centre and mini zoo in Hertfordshire has seen all the animals in the building tragically killed. Ten fire engines were dispatched to The Jungle Box on the Watermill Industrial Estate in Buntingford after a blaze was reported at around 3am on Wednesday morning.
Zero-Shot Multi-Animal Tracking in the Wild
Announce Type: replace Abstract: Multi-animal tracking is crucial for understanding animal ecology and behavior, yet remains challenging due to variations in habitat, motion patterns, and species appearance. Traditional approaches typically require extensive fine-tuning and heuristic design for each new scenario. In this work, we explore vision foundation models for zero-shot multi-animal tracking.
