Prague museum to host first European display of 3.18 million year old Lucy

Visitors listen next to the hyperrealistic artistic reconstruction of the human ancestors in the National Museum of Prague on February 4, 2025 in Prague, to a press conference held by the Czech Prime Minister and Ethiopia's Tourism Minister (both unseen) about bone fragments of Lucy, a 3.18 million year-old human ancester which rarely leave Ethiopia, will go on display from August 25 in Prague, for the first time ever in Europe. The ancient remains of the Australopithecus afarensis were discovered in Ethiopia in 1974. The find was, at the time, the most complete ever found, and revolutionised the understanding of humanity's ancestors. "Lucy's skeletal remains will be displayed in Europe for the first time ever," Prime Minister Petr Fiala told reporters as he announced the rare loan by Ethiopia's National Museum. The fragments will be shown at Prague's National Museum as part of a "Human Origins and Fossils" exhibition for two months from August 25.

Global warming makes French reservoir a winter resort for migrating cranes

Common cranes walk in a field near Lac du Der near Giffaumont-Champaubert on January 31, 2025. Every year, tens of thousands of common cranes spend the winter on Lac du Der, between the Marne and Haute-Marne regions. It's a situation that is reshaping the local ecosystem, sometimes at breakneck speed. While most of the sandhill cranes that pass through France continue on their way to Spain or even Morocco, as they always have, between 20,000 and 30,000 of them spend the winter on the banks of Lac du Der, an artificial reservoir created in the 1970s to regulate the flow of the Seine.
