Although I am pretty confident that this species is not the long-lost Bogota Sunangel or even a Heliangelus, more will be known once DNA testing has been done. The reserve is an example to others on how one family can make a massive difference to the preservation of birding habitat. Bogota Sunangel is only known from one skin.

If only you could make fine adjustments to the expression of existing DNA you could hatch a dinosaur, starting with, for example, a turkey. The second thing they did was to interfere with the genetic pathways in some chickens, which produced a chicken with beaky bits that were more like snouty bits found in, for example, a Alligator.

He gives lots of marvelous examples, such as the Blackpoll warbler, “among the most astonishing and extreme of all migratory birds.”. As a test of endurance, as a physical ordeal, it’s both miraculous and monstrous.” Example A, perfectly up to date, is the wind turbine. Eighty hours of flying. More than two thousand miles.

Covid turned out not to be too much of a hindrance – I had to show a negative PCR test upon arrival on Hainan from Shanghai, and while many Chinese hotels currently do not accept foreigners, I could leave this issue to my guide. Fortunately, they are by now fairly used to dealing with a mediocre birder like me.

Honeyguides, for example, are strongly attracted to the smell of wax. I remember watching a David Attenborough episode once where he tested the theory that new world vultures could locate carcasses by smell alone. Most appear to have a very limited sense of smell and mammals appear to have better developed olfactory glands.

Indeed, it often isn't even the best science: New drugs that show great promise in mice, for example, often confer zero benefit to humans, or even prove harmful. Many animal supporters get caught up in fighting the food industry, but animal testing is as ugly and fundamental an issue. This is an important issue.

The behavior described in this blog post is observational, not the result of a rigorous, extensive testing. Perhaps the most salient point made by the researcher is that this “cougar”-like behavior is “a striking example of how animals adapt to maximize their breeding capacity regardless of the breeding environment they face.”
