 As you know, severe forest fires occurred in Australia recently. A recent report has studied the impact of the disaster on the surrounding ecosystem and found that the danger is three times higher than previously estimated. According to the latest data from the World Wide Fund Nature (WWF), nearly three billion animals have been killed, injured and displaced by Australian forest fires that occurred during 2019-2020. This includes 143 million mammals, 2.46 billion reptiles, 180 million birds, and 51 million frogs. "This number shows that it is the worst wild disaster in history," said Dermot O'Gorman, CEO of WWF Australia.

Scientists in China have managed to unearth fossil evidence from creatures such as 512 million years old worms that limit the growth of marine intervertebrates — providing the earliest evidence of a parasitic relationship. The ancient organism is kleptoparasite - meaning it takes food from its host. Etching from tubular animals is well preserved in brachiopod fossils in Maotianshan Shales, a paleontological spot in Yunnan province, Southwest China. The creature lived during the Cambrian period, a time when life had not colonized dry land. Microscopic plants, microbes, and intervertebrates with exo skeletons including trilobites and arthropods, are some of the dominant forms of marine life, along with shell organisms known as brachiopods.
