I wanted to come on here on this Valentine's Day to profess my love for bears, specifically sun bears. now I dont have a lot of knowledge on these as mush as some people in you asks do about their favorite animals but I really do love them, I love their awful proportions, their silly faces abd long tongues, i love their patterning, and everything! I think they're great. I also love all bears, pandas, grizzly, polar, I think they're all wonderful and I hope one of these days I will be able to safely pet or hug a bear. until then I will only look on at a safe distance and dream.

Man Bitten by Stray Cat Contracts Infection Unknown to Science : ScienceAlert
Animals can harbor and cultivate evolutions of bacterial types, or pathogens we have yet to discover. Pathogens that live in and transmit from animals are called zoonotic pathogens. Since the physiology of animals such as cats, dogs, bats, pigs, birds are similar to human physiology, these are often possible zoonotic sources of infections.

Weeks ago, when I was looking for reference images to draw leopard sharks, I came across the above article (since it was the source of an image I was looking at).
When I finished reading it, I was really curious about what was killing off the leopard shark population at that time, and since the article was written during the investigation, the answer was not there; not concretely.
So, through the power of the internet, I found the fish pathologist, Mark Okihiro, on LinkedIn and connected with him. I simply asked him what the definitive cause of the die-off was, and he answered! Here's a screencapture:
