Netflix announces Beastars official release date

Netflix has not detailed the list of countries that may have the animated series in its catalog. However, in other cases, such as the “Carole & Tuesday” anime, the platform expected the anime to culminate to release the second part in Latin America approximately one month later

"Beastars," directed by Pau Itagaki, is a Netflix anime that gained great popularity in Japan because of the eccentricity of its history. The plot focuses on a school where animals with humanoid appearance attend, and where there is a clear division between carnivores and herbivores ... such as "Zootopia." Even the protagonists are a wolf and a rabbit that, despite their differences, maintain a close relationship.

At the end of 2019, the second season of the Netflix anime was announced, but, so far, there are no more details about it. The manga series on which it is based continues in publication and to date has 17 compilation volumes.

Diego, the turtle that helped save his species by procreating 800 offspring

Diego, the turtle that had 800 offspring and helped save its species in Galapagos Diego, the giant tortoise of the Hispaniola island that lived in the US and that after his return to the Ecuadorian archipelago of Galapagos helped save his species by procreating 800 offspring, he will return to his habitat this year, where pirates decimated the population of these animals several decades ago.

Its return, planned for next March, derives from the closure of the captive breeding program of the Chelonoidis hoodensis species, once the recovery of habitat and turtle population conditions in Hispaniola has been evidenced.

Studies based on mathematical models with different possible scenarios for the next hundred years, reveal that the island has "sufficient conditions to maintain the turtle population, which will continue to grow normally even without any new repatriation of juveniles," according to Washington Tapia, director of the Giant Turtle Restoration Initiative.

MEAT FOR PIRATES

The director of the Galapagos National Park, Jorge Carrión, explained to Efe that currently the archipelago has only 15 percent of the initial number of turtles, estimated at 400,000 individuals, of fifteen original species.

Arid, small and easily accessible, the island of Hispaniola, located in the southeast of the archipelago, lost years ago almost all the turtles mainly at the hands of pirates.

Carrión recalled that, in the past, the archipelago was a refuge for pirates and whalers who supplied food on the site and took giant turtles on their boats that could "survive for up to a year, or even longer, without eating or drinking" .

Over the years, they managed to take fourteen turtles to the breeding center on Santa Cruz Island and repatriate Diego from a zoo in San Diego, where he was taken in the thirties. And the fifteen have managed to save the species.

Recovery work on the island has now allowed the total elimination of goats, one of the problems in the sector where there are some 2,000 turtles, of which 1,800 were repatriated from the breeding center, with a 52% survival rate.

In Hispaniola there are several animals, such as iguanas and sea lions, boobies but the presence of turtles is essential for the survival of other species, such as albatrosses.

These birds require special characteristics to reach or take off and, it is precisely the turtles that open spaces.

"In the absence of the turtles, the woody plants progress, invade quickly and leave no room for bird nesting," Carrión added, before recalling that fifteen original turtles were fundamental in the salvation of the Spanish species: twelve females and three males, including Diego, the most reproductive.

TO THE QUARANTINE THE FATHER OF 800 TURTLES

Long before the Galapagos National Park was created in 1959, several specimens were removed from that archipelago for scientific purposes, and among them Diego, whose repatriation of the United States. It was completed in 1976.

That year he was recruited for the breeding program for shell-shell turtles.

At the moment, Diego is in "good health", says Carrión, highlighting the support of that turtle to restore the population in Española, but stresses that it would also be negative if all the turtles were descendants of that great player.

"By law we need other specimens that do not come from Diego so that the genetic variability of Spanish turtles is healthy and can even be increased," said the official.

With no fixed date yet for the planned release for March, Diego is now in quarantine for his return to Española, 80 years after he left there.

Carrión explained that in Santa Cruz there are plants that do not exist in Spanish, so they need Diego to "free himself from any seed or plant he has ingested because we do not want the plants here to disperse towards Española," which would have a negative impact. for the area

With Diego's return to his habitat, the Spanish captive breeding program concludes and now it will be nature that guides those turtles in the Galapagos, located about a thousand kilometers from the Ecuadorian continental coasts, a natural species laboratory, also known Like the Enchanted Islands.
