Does Your Dog Need A Fitbit?
Muse Science Magazine for Kids
|February 2018
HOW MANY steps did you take today? If you wear a fitness tracking device such as a Fitbit, you know the answer. Fitness trackers help people set goals for physical activity. Reaching those goals helps them lose weight and stay healthy.

If you wear a fitness tracking device such as a Fitbit, you know the answer. Fitness trackers help people set goals for physical activity. Reaching those goals helps them lose weight and stay healthy.
But what if your dog is a little chubby? Never fear! Your pup can get his or her very own FitBark. Or PitPat. Or PetPace. These devices have more in common than silly names. They all help monitor a pet’s activity and health. Some also track location (in case the pet gets lost). Sounds great, but these devices cost up to $100 or even more. It may seem ridiculous to spend so much to track a dog’s day. It’s just sleep, play, eat, play some more, right?

Scientists Create Mice With Woolly Mammoth-Like Fur
RESEARCHERS AT A COMPANY IN TEXAS ARE WORKING TO CREATE A LIVING ANIMAL THAT RESEMBLES THE EXTINCT WOOLLY MAMMOTH. Recently, they produced mice with traits of the large mammal. The mice all have coats with mammoth-like fur, and some of the small mammals also have genes that help them store fat. Both features would help the animals survive in the cold Arctic, where the woolly mammoth once lived.
