When Nature Attacks<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

On this episode of Expanded Perspectives Elite the guys start off talking about how\u00a0\u2018Disappearing Hillary\u2019 sparks green screen conspiracy theory among Trump supporters.\u00a0Doing what internet users do best, conspiracy theorists picked through the\u00a0shorter-than-usual 20-minute speech, during which Clinton hammered rival Donald Trump \u2014 who she is set to debate for the first time in a little over a week \u2014 frame by frame.\u00a0The conclusion? Clinton wasn\u2019t actually at the rally at all, appearing instead via green screen. Then, after a century of constant decline, the number of wild tigers is on the rise!\u00a0According to the most recent data, around 3,890 tigers now exist in the wild\u2014up from an estimated 3,200 in 2010.\u00a0We can attribute this updated minimum number\u2014compiled from national tiger surveys\u2014to rising tiger populations in India, Russia, Nepal, and Bhutan; improved surveys; and enhanced protection of this iconic species.<\/p>\n

Then,\u00a0the ocean might seem like a quiet place, but listen carefully and you might just hear the sounds of the fish choir.\u00a0Most of this underwater music comes from\u00a0soloist fish, repeating the same calls over and over. But when the calls of different fish overlap, they form a\u00a0chorus.\u00a0Robert McCauley and colleagues\u00a0at Curtin University in Perth, Australia, recorded vocal fish in the coastal waters off Port Headland in Western Australia over an 18-month period, and identified seven distinct fish choruses, happening at dawn and at dusk. Then,\u00a0an Australian man has died after a large shark attacked him while he was kitesurfing in New Caledonia, a French island territory in the South Pacific, marine authorities said Wednesday.\u00a0The 50-year-old man had fallen from his board Tuesday in a large lagoon near the northwestern town of Koumac when the shark bit deep into his right thigh, said Nicolas Renaud, the director of the Maritime Rescue Coordination Center.<\/p>\n
