It is illegal to hunt the species, already endangered thanks to climate change shrinking their habitat, but a cull has not been ruled out
Newly released data from NOAA and NASA shows 2018 was the fourth-warmest year on record. Scientists say global temperatures are rising due to the burning of fossil fuels, and the changes in the climate are contributing to more extreme weather.
Climate change and loss of habitat are threatening a majority of the world's lemur population in Madagascar. Lemurs play a crucial role when it comes to studying life-threatening human diseases.

It is growing at an "explosive" rate that surprised researchers, NASA says
The record-cold blast of Arctic air freezing the Midwest is caused by a natural phenomenon called the polar vortex, but scientists say climate change may be playing a role in the extreme conditions. CBS News contributing meteorologist Jeff Berardelli joins CBSN to explain the science.

We know very little about the brown tarantula (Aphonopelma hentzi), whose habitat stretches from Louisiana to Texas and Colorado. But the first question arachnid expert Cara Shillington asks is, why are we afraid of tarantulas? She talks with Jonathan Vigliotti, who also visits Colorado's La Junta Tarantula Fest, an annual celebration of the eight-legged creature that draws thousands to see thousands of brown tarantulas wandering the Comanche National Grassland in a haphazard, often halting hunt for a mate.
