Scientists Identify Wolves By Their Howl
Scientists have discovered that individual wild wolves can be recognised by just their howls with 100% accuracy.
A team at Nottingham Trent University, UK, developed a computer program to analyse the vocal signatures of eastern grey wolves.
The programme was developed to help conservationists track the animals, as they roam in large packs.

The part of the eye that detects light can be repaired using stem cells, according to an animal study in the journal Nature Biotechnology.
The discovery has been described as a "huge leap" forward.
