Where can I find feral or wild humans? I seem to be surrounded by domesticated humans.

For all the Big Bird lovers and all the scientists here, a talk coming out of a zoologist's dissertation research: "What, if Anything, Is Big Bird?"
Zoologist Mike Dickison talks about the PhD research he's been doing on a flightless bird -- the "Big Bird" of the title.

This is a beautiful little detail on the door of Glasgow University's Graham Kerr Building. Designed by J.J.Burnet and built in the 1920s, it was originally constructed as the Zoology Building.
Diphyodont (Zoology 
)
A diphyodont is any animal with two sets of teeth, initially the deciduous set and consecutively the permanent set. Most mammals are diphyodonts—as to chew their food they need a strong, durable and complete set of teeth. Diphyodonts contrast with polyphyodonts, whose teeth are constantly replaced. Diphyodonts also differ from monophyodonts, which are animals who have only one set of teeth ...

How #elephants plan their journeys: New study reveals energy-saving strategies

EurekAlert!How elephants plan their journeys: New study reveals energy-saving strategiesA new study has revealed that African Elephants have an extraordinary ability to meet their colossal food requirements as efficiently as possible. Data from over 150 elephants demonstrated that these giants plan their journeys based on energy costs and resource availability. The findings – published today (26 March) in the Journal of Animal Ecology– could provide crucial information to help protect these iconic animals and their habitats.

#Zoology Question :
Has the global ecological impact of the domestic cat (felis catus) ever been evaluated ?
Their impact on wildlife and urban environment is documented, but some aspects seem less documented : Domestic wastes may be possible to assess, but no trace anywhere of their impact on global warming (strictly carnivorous regime, cat pictures on the internet, cat bots on social media...etc.)
They are family, no question about that, but it could just be huge and made me curious.
Wild animals possess medical knowledge we can use. Monarch butterflies, chimps, and many other species use medicines derived from plants. #botany #chemistry #zoology #science #medicine https://www.newscientist.com/article/mg26535350-700-what-the-extraordinary-medical-know-how-of-wild-animals-can-teach-us/
