The African buffalo (Syncerus caffer) exhibits extreme morphological variability. How is this reflected in their genes? Mitochondrial DNA analysis reveals two distinct lineages that diverged 145,000–499,000 years ago. #2025MMM journals.plos.org/plosone/arti…

Wild yaks live on the Tibetan Plateau, a high-altitude area w/ very low oxygen. A mutation in EPAS1, a gene already found in humans to be vital for a low oxygen lifestyle in this region, likely changes the gene’s expression in yaks so they can thrive too #2025MMM doi.org/10.1038/s41467-023-41220-x

Reindeer games? Try zebra games! While other zebra sp are rarely recorded engaging in play, mountain zebra often initiate play by racing or chasing each other. From there, they may rub their nose/body, groom, or play-fight (fighting, now with exaggerated movements). (Penzhorn 1988) #2025MMM
