National Geographic: One of the Amazon rain forest's most elusive inhabitants, the short-eared dog, has been caught on video in southeastern Peru. About the size of a fox, these jungle canines are incredibly difficult to spot. In fact, a journey to the Amazon is far more likely to yield a jaguar sighting than a glimpse of a wild short-eared dog. In late May, 2014, conservation biologist Lary Reeves set up a camera trapnear a white-lipped peccary carcass. Wanting to record what he'd heard was a "king vulture fiesta"...

PhysOrg: It's a dry heat, Phoenix residents like to say about Arizona's hot weather. That bravado may vanish as the thermometer flirts with 120 degrees this weekend. Phoenix won't be alone in the oven. A strengthening ridge of high pressure lifting out of Mexico is on course to also scorch other parts of Arizona and Southern California, bringing potentially record-shattering temperatures. Though accustomed to triple digits, the upcoming heat spell is a rarity in Phoenix, a desert metropolis of 1.5 million...

National Geographic: The alligator attack that killed a two-year-old Nebraska boy at a Disney resort in Florida was a tragic, rare incident in a state with the nation's second-largest alligator population. This is Florida's second fatal alligator attack since October 2015, but before that, the state had avoided a deadly encounter for seven years-the longest stretch since the state started keeping records on such attacks. In response, Disney has closed access to the beaches and lagoons throughout its Orlando park....
