than a house cat with coats that are either a rust-brown color or charcoal gray.
TPWD, however, says the jaguarundi is extinct in Texas and that it was listed as endangered by the U.S. government in 1976. The last official recording of the wildcat was in the Rio Grande Valley city of Brownsville in 1986, according to Kirk McDonnell, a TPWD spokesman. There is a larger population in Mexico.‘Really, that’s a job?’: Only 4 wildlife biologists work at airports nationwide. One is in San Antonio.
"There are fewer than five confirmed records of the cat ever from Texas," McDonnell said in an email."They are listed as endangered by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service across their range, and there are a few historic records of them from Texas, so FWS includes the state just in case one is found here.

The swan genome and transcriptome, it is not all black and white - Genome BiologyBackground The Australian black swan (Cygnus atratus) is an iconic species with contrasting plumage to that of the closely related northern hemisphere white swans. The relative geographic isolation of the black swan may have resulted in a limited immune repertoire and increased susceptibility to infectious diseases, notably infectious diseases from which Australia has been largely shielded. Unlike mallard ducks and the mute swan (Cygnus olor), the black swan is extremely sensitive to highly pathogenic avian influenza. Understanding this susceptibility has been impaired by the absence of any available swan genome and transcriptome information. Results Here, we generate the first chromosome-length black and mute swan genomes annotated with transcriptome data, all using long-read based pipelines generated for vertebrate species. We use these genomes and transcriptomes to show that unlike other wild waterfowl, black swans lack an expanded immune gene repertoire, lack a key viral pattern-recognition receptor in endothelial cells and mount a poorly controlled inflammatory response to highly pathogenic avian influenza. We also implicate genetic differences in SLC45A2 gene in the iconic plumage of the black swan. Conclusion Together, these data suggest that the immune system of the black swan is such that should any avian viral infection become established in its native habitat, the black swan would be in a significant peril.

The Black Hole Puzzle: Piecing Together the Origins of Invisible GiantsResearchers say that current measurements of black holes are insufficient to determine the formation process of these invisible giants in the universe. The way a black hole spins can provide insight into its origins, particularly for binary black holes, which are two black holes that orbit each o
