And they went around and found them and then went back at night and found that those... If you shine UV light on where they were rubbing, they reflect back more than the surrounding area.

Basically...

the there's uv light bouncing off of these rub areas more and deer can see it and most other animals can't or at least most other mammals can't so there's they've realized that not only can not only do these like rub spots shine in uv more than or reflect in uv i should say but the the deer can can see it there's a biological reason for them to have that and it's so they can communicate mating information other males things like basic animal communication stuff

Yeah, exactly.

They haven't nailed down exactly why it's there, but it's probably related to mating and territory for sure.

The Last Show with David Cooper.

It's everything you wanted to know and maybe some things you didn't about the latest science news.

We are joined by Professor Jesse Rogerson from York University.

We asked the question, if you want to avoid microplastics, should you drink bottled water that comes in plastic?

I would think the answer to this question is obviously no.

Welcome, Jesse.

You heard that straight from the source and how eerie that finding is.

I had to, you know, microplastics.

How bad are they for you?

I remember there was a plastic called BPA that they kind of like phased out and.

the plastics could like leach to your like hormone receptors it was like demonstrably kind of bad for you it probably shouldn't have been on the market in the first place but that's been taken off the market what do these microplastics do or is it a big just like we don't know some people worry some people don't the evidence doesn't look great but there's no conclusive findings

And causation and correlation.

It's just it's startling, but we don't know.

Now, and don't drink bottled water, I guess, is the finding.
