Carballeda Fire Burns 700 Hectares of Land - Spain

Carballeda Fire Burns 700 Hectares of Land - Spain

A sheep in a soccer field, on September 7, 2025, in Chao da Veiga, Ourense, Galicia (Spain). The fire in Carballeda de Valdeorras, declared on the afternoon of Saturday, September 6, in the parish of Casaio, is advancing this Sunday towards an area where the fire is "more controllable". The fire already burns about 700 hectares, according to the latest estimates of the Consellería do Medio Rural, and is also located in a terrain "more accessible" than the one that devastated more than 5,000 hectares in August in the same locality. The fire started in two distant points and, in the terrain between them, other outbreaks began to emerge, which suggests that "it was not accidental", and therefore it was possibly intentional.

The Oldest Short-Tailed Bird Fossil Discovered - China

The Oldest Short-Tailed Bird Fossil Discovered - China

Wang Min, a researcher with the Institute of Vertebrate Paleontology and Paleoanthropology (IVPP) under the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS), works at his office at IVPP in Beijing, capital of China, on February 10, 2025. Chinese scientists have unearthed the oldest short-tailed bird fossil, dating back about 150 million years, in east China's Fujian Province. This suggests that birds might have originated earlier than previously thought. The fossilized bird Baminornis zhenghensis was discovered in Zhenghe County, Fujian Province. Its short tail ends in a compound bone called the pygostyle, a feature uniquely present in modern birds. This indicates that the body structure of modern birds emerged in the Late Jurassic Period, 20 million years earlier than previously known. The study, conducted by researchers from the Institute of Vertebrate Paleontology and Paleoanthropology (IVPP) and the Fujian Institute of Geological Survey, was published in the latest issue of the journal Nature, on February 11, 2025, in B
