A reader asks if seagull chicks tap a red spot on their parent beaks when hungry and if gulls avoid striking a head. Experts explain seagulls feed chicks with regurgitated food and use vocal calls and parental color cues, but tapping on red beaks and head striking as described are not standard gull behaviors.
Q and A column discusses seagull behavior including a lipstick trick to get a gull to eat. It covers animal ethics, penalties for hunters, and definitions of an animal person as one who empathizes with animals and refuses cruelty, citing Regina Frankenberg.
Scientists revived a 75 year old specimen to reveal the Ditmars Horned Lizard at the Arizona Sonora Desert Museum in Tucson. Discovered in Sonora in 1897 by Raymond Ditmars, the species was declared new in 1910 and had no fresh specimen for decades.
