Original story is from the Siberian Times: http://siberiantimes.com/ecology/casestudy/news/n0681-now-th...

(the Daily Mail? Seriously?)

Didn't know that's a tabloid. Can't update the link now. Sorry about that.

Yet the story is a good one.

Beware of the comment section.

Of the Siberian Times ?

Reporting quality seems to be good with a lot of images. If the message is good, why criticize the messenger?

Because it's extremely rare for the reporting quality to be good with the Daily Mail.

I can agree with that assessment... they're typically fairly trashy. I've submitted content from them before when it was an AP article (so the text was identical on all sites that carried it) but they had additional relevant, higher resolution images accompanying the text. Got unnecessary flak for it of course.

The Signal-Noise Ratio of Daily Mail is six-sigma low.

What makes you say that? Like much of the Daily Mail, it seems to be sensationalised in a way that makes understanding the (probably important) content rather difficult. The headline is incredibly misleading, to start with.
