Tigers Are Becoming Nocturnal In Order To Avoid Humans
Tigers living near human occupied areas have gradually been becoming more nocturnal, according to new research just published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.

It is interesting to me the adaptability of life. Not just gooey, yucky slime or things like cockroaches, but things like the tigers mentioned in the article. As I mentioned earlier in a post that discussed adaptation to higher ocean temps, I think that much of life will adapt to the devastation that humans have wrought on the environment (there will clearly be some losers, of that there is no doubt!). Of course, if we humans don’t keep making things worse, then there will never be a point where anything besides slime, cockroaches and perhaps rats can survive, but heck, at the rate we are going now we will probably drive ourselves to extinction in a few more generations, thus leaving the whole planet alone for recovery.
