Hedged claims are ones written with attribution or uncertainty (“reportedly”, “according to”). A higher rate is not a fault: it is often careful sourcing. How these are measured.

Wild dogs record 2,500-mile trek across Zambia in search of a mate
🔮 They cannot breed within the pack they are born into, so they either wait and may eventually inherit their pack, or set off at the age of two or three in search of a mate. The brothers covered about 260 miles in a straight line over the course of eight months, but travelled nearly 10 times that overall while crossing through a broken-up landscape. assertive

New wild cat species discovered - with only one known living member
🔮 The small feline, about the size of a domestic moggy, went under the radar because it was confused with other wild cats that share similar spots and stripes. But DNA studies show the cat is actually in a class of its own, highlighting how much remains unknown about some of the world's most elusive mammals. Scientists hope the discovery will draw attention to the conservation of tiger cats, a group of small wild cats found in South and Central America that receives far less public attention than their larger cousins like lions, leopards and tigers. assertive
