An injured snow leopard cub, which is rescued one year ago from Morang, is seen inside its enclosure at the Central Zoo in Jawalakhel, Lalitpur, on November 13, 2025. Snow leopards are typically found at elevations above 2,500 meters, but this one is discovered in the Tarai lowlands at just 150 meters -- a rare occurrence of high-elevation species found in lowland regions. Similar cases are reported in Mongolia and Russia, where snow leopards and Himalayan wolves are recorded around 500 meters.

Armigeres mosquito (Armigeres sp.) is a genus of mosquitoes belonging to the Culicidae family. Some species of Armigeres can raise their hind legs to create an egg. Adults of Armigeres are morphologically similar to species of other Aedine generic-level taxa in the Oriental and Australasian regions, but they are generally larger and usually have the proboscis slightly curved downwards and flattened laterally. Armigeres species are associated with lowland and dipterocarp forests but are never found in primary forests. Many species of Armigeres attack humans. For example, Armigeres subalbatus is a species complex of zoophilic mosquitoes found in Sri Lanka, India, and Bangladesh. It can carry parasites and viruses that cause diseases in humans, including malaria, Japanese encephalitis, and filariasis. It is also a potential vector for the Zika virus. Armigeres subalbatus is part of the Culicinae subfamily and is similar in morphology and genetic phylogeny to Aedes mosquitoes. It feeds on blood from both humans and animals and thrives in areas near human habitation. Armigeres subalbatus was originally associated with forests but now thrives in rural and suburban areas. An Armigeres mosquito is resting under a leaf in a forest in Tehatta, West Bengal, India, on 04/04/2024.

JAMBI, Ocotober 31 : The term Kubu is a Malay exonym ascribed to mobile, animist peoples (Orang Batin Sembilan, Orang Rimba or Anak Dalam) who live throughout the lowland forests of Southeast Sumatra. In the Malay language, the word Kubu can mean defensive fortification, entrenchment, or a place of refuge. It is metaphor for how the majority and dominant Islamic Melayu villagers believe them to use the interior forests as a means for resisting inclusion in the larger Malay social and Islamic religious world. As is the case with other forest peoples in the region, the term Kubu is associated with very negative connotations. For the first time the people visited by Indonesian President JOKOWIDODO during his visit to see the update situation of smoke disaster that hit Jambi.
