It is the first study to show that large mammalian carnivores are making major changes to their life history in response to a changing climate.

They could weigh around 320 kilograms, appeared 36 million years ago before becoming extinct around 7.5 million years ago.

Researchers have found that a suite of complimentary tests can quantify changes in dogs suspected of suffering from cognitive decline. The approach could not only aid owners in managing their elderly canine's care, but could also serve as a model for evaluating cognitive decline progression in -- and treatments for -- humans with Alzheimer's disease.
