EXCLUSIVE: Story from Jam Press (Tiny Bat Rediscovered)Pictured: Scientists have rediscovered a tiny bat species that had not been seen in the wild for 45 years.Tiny bat weighing less than a teaspoon of salt rediscovered after being feared extinct for 45 yearsScientists have rediscovered a tiny bat species that had not been seen in the wild for 45 years and was widely feared extinct.The remarkable find was made in Nigeria's Afi Mountain Wildlife Sanctuary by conservation ecologist Dr Iroro Tanshi and her team during surveys of remote rainforest caves.The species, known as the short-tailed roundleaf bat, weighs just seven grams – roughly the same as a teaspoon of salt – and is recognised by its distinctive leaf-shaped nose.The rediscovery marked the first confirmed sighting of the bat in Nigeria for more than four decades and came after the species had gone undocumented globally for five years.But what should have been a moment of celebration quickly turned into a conservation emergency, as reported by creatorzine.com.Just weeks after the discovery, a devastating wildfire swept through the sanctuary, burning thousands of acres of forest and forcing researchers to evacuate.The blaze highlighted the growing threat posed by increasingly severe wildfires in one of Nigeria's last remaining areas of primary rainforest.Earlier this year, Dr Tanshi was recognised with the prestigious Goldman Environmental Prize – often described as the "Green Nobel Prize".The award honours environmental campaigners from around the world who have made significant contributions to protecting nature.Following the wildfire, Dr Tanshi and colleagues at the Small Mammal Conservation Organization (SMACON), which she co-founded in 2016, launched an ambitious community-led campaign to protect the forest and the rare species living within it.The Afi Mountain Wildlife Sanctuary, located in Cross River State in southeastern Nigeria, forms part of one of the country's largest remaining ra.19 Jun 2026Pictured: Story from Jam Press (Tiny Bat Rediscovered)Pictured: Scientists have rediscovered a tiny bat species that had not been seen in the wild for 45 years.Tiny bat weighing less than a teaspoon of salt rediscovered after being feared extinct for 45 yearsScientists have rediscovered a tiny bat species that had not been seen in the wild for 45 years and was widely feared extinct.The remarkable find was made in Nigeria's Afi Mountain Wildlife Sanctuary by conservation ecologist Dr Iroro Tanshi and her team during surveys of remote rainforest caves.The species, known as the short-tailed roundleaf bat, weighs just seven grams – roughly the same as a teaspoon of salt – and is recognised by its distinctive leaf-shaped nose.The rediscovery marked the first confirmed sighting of the bat in Nigeria for more than four decades and came after the species had gone undocumented globally for five years.But what should have been a moment of celebration quickly turned into a conservation emerge.,Image: 1111245792, License: Rights-managed, Restrictions: NO Australia, Germany, Norway, South Korea, Sweden, United Kingdom, United States, Unknown Country, Model Release: no

Story from Jam Press (Cute Venomous Primate)Pictured: One of the twin primates born last month to proud parents Ramina, nine, and Lapek, 14.Cute but deadly! Zoo welcomes rare adorable twin primates but they are the only venomous ones on planetA zoo has welcomed rare, adorable twin primates, but they are the only venomous ones on the planet.The baby Pygmy Slow Lorises - an endangered species - maybe super cute.But their venom to repel predators can cause an anaphylactic shock and even death in humansAmazon World Zoo Park, in Sandown, Isle of Wight has welcomed the pair.The twins were born last month to proud parents Ramina, nine, and Lapek, 14.They are the only Pygmy Slow Lorises born in the UK in the last year.Only seven other zoos across Europe have recorded loris births in the past year, according to global zoological database ZIMS.Despite their wide-eyed charm and delicate size, these primates come with a surprising twist, they are venomous."They are the world's only venomous primate," said a spokesperson for Amazon World Zoo Park."They produce oil from the brachial gland on their upper arm."When they raise their arms and lick the gland, enzymes in their saliva mix with the oil to produce venom that gets pulled into their toothcomb and by grooming their babies they can protect them from predators."Pygmy Slow Loris are classified as Endangered on the IUCN Red List as the species is estimated to have undergone a decline in its population of more than 50% over the last 24 years.This is due to illegal wildlife trade, habitat destruction, and exploitation for traditional medicine."These tiny twins represent hope," the spokesperson added."Every birth is a step toward securing a future for this incredible species. And let's be honest – they're absolutely adorable."The twins are currently nestled safely in the zoo's Twilight Zone exhibit.ENDS,Image: 1009639837, License: Rights-managed, Restrictions:, Model Release: no
