Hot Tubs for Monkeys

Our most northern monkeys, nicknamed "Snow Monkeys," have been found to bathe in a hot spring in Japan. Scientists say they use these 'spa days' as therapy to fight the stresses associated with the cold winters. Who doesn't like a hot tub spa day?  Click here for more information.

    This is interesting as this shows than monkeys can be even more related to humans and that animals too have ways to relieve stress.

    Evolution wise it's very neet idea. Is there fur made to dry faster then normal so they don't freeze when they leave the "spa"?

    I honestly think it is hilarious to think of monkeys chilling in pools sipping on champagne like middle-aged woman at spas :D

Dual-fuel vehicles

A recent study shows that dual- fuel vehicles are benefiting the population but, turns out they are costing the environment. While substituting gasoline for ethanol gases, it causes an increase of ultra fine particle matter, with a 30% increase of atmospheric concentration. The problem is that they are less then 50 nanometers in diameter. The nano particles are also not track or regulated by the environmental agencies. We inhale these gases everyday, inhaling ethanol. The most practical way to reduce greenhouse gases is using electric, hybrid and biofuel care.   https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2017/08/170828124546.htm

Acid Zone in Chesapeake Bay Found

     According to the University of Delaware, the Chesapeake Bay is becoming acidic as it has gone to 7.4 pH from an average of 8.2. The oxidation of ammonia and hydrogen sulfide may be the factor that is leading to the higher acidity levels in coastal oceans, but it can eventually lead to more of open oceans. Naturally the waters of the Chesapeake Bay have a regulatory system that holds back the increase of acidity levels in the area, and this works as the dissolving of living shells, non-living aragonite, and calcite minerals. Though nature has a path to keep the waters in the Chesapeake Bay, humans should take more care of our Earth as we have a role in polluting the water and rising the acidity levels in coastal oceans. https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2017/08/170828093737.htm
