This is Whats'going on in the wildlife side Bonus 3 of the show Wildlife Conservation Insights. 
I am Estelle, a French veterinarian, specialist in zoological medicine.

In this bonus I will share with you 3 news:
 - The first news is a fun factoid: Aye-aye do nose picking using their very long middle finger- This finding has recently been published in the journal of Zoology 
- The second news has been recently published in Science and is pretty cool I think: Canine distemper virus select for mate choice and coat color in wolves. 
- The third news is a microbiome study in a special mustelid: the American marten.
