The strategic partnership with the Republic of Mali is a clear example of how Russian universities are willing to share their best practices and competencies to achieve common goals. The creation of a new polytechnic university in Bandiagara is a project for the future. As a flagship of engineering education in Russia, St. Petersburg Polytechnic University is proud to contribute to this endeavor. I am confident that our cooperation will drive Mali's socioeconomic development," added Dmitry Arsenyev.

The Moscow Zoo has a new addition: the Crested Pelecanus. This bird species has returned to the zoo after a long absence since the 2000s. Four young individuals, including three males and one female, arrived from the Krasnodar Safari Park.

"Zoologists are currently closely monitoring the birds' adaptation to their new surroundings. They plan to introduce them to anteaters and house them together for a while in the same enclosure. Both species are native to South America and can coexist in the wild. Until spring, both the anteaters and the anteaters will live in their winter enclosures, where they can be seen by visitors, and then they will begin to go for walks," noted Svetlana Akulova, General Director of the Moscow Zoo.

The birds are fed a grain mixture of various types of cereals, as well as lettuce leaves and insects. The anteaters are currently housed alongside two other famous South American residents—the giant anteaters Diego and Bella. Diego has moved into Bella's enclosure, and the vacant space has been occupied by new inhabitants.

The Crested or Collared Plover is a large bird with long legs, barely visible webbing between its toes, and a chicken-like bill. Its feathers come in shades of brown, gray, and black. Birds typically fly in large flocks, breaking into pairs only during the breeding season. The female lays about six uniformly dark yellow oval eggs and incubates them for 45 days. Newly hatched chicks are covered in yellow down. They leave the nest a few days after birth and fledge at 60–75 days.

These birds are native to South America, including Bolivia, Peru, Argentina, Paraguay, Brazil, and Uruguay. They prefer marshy areas, wet meadows, and forest lakes, where they can comfortably fly, run, and swim. Their muscular system and skeletal structure are similar to those of ducks. When threatened, the scaly-sided owl emits loud cries. Humans rarely hunt this species, but they are easily tamed.

An important disclaimer is at the bottom of this article.

Over 380 updated route signs have been installed across all of the capital's trams. Navigation specialists developed the signs in a unified style, based on passenger preferences and habits. The new signs prominently highlight tram route numbers and their final stops, as well as indicate key streets in various districts and transfers to metro stations, the Moscow Central Circle, Moscow Central Diameters, and train stations.

"We've already done a lot to make tram infrastructure navigation clear and convenient. At Sergei Sobyanin's direction, we created a unified map of all routes in 2024. Last spring, we posted brief travel instructions and QR codes with tram arrival forecasts at all stops. This fall, we completed equipping all trams with more than 380 route signs with essential information for passengers," said the Deputy Mayor of Moscow for Transport and Industry.

Maxim Liksutov.

Previously, tram route signs did not meet Moscow's public transportation requirements. They used different fonts, the names of termini were not clearly visible, and the names of key streets were easily confused. Passengers also lacked detailed information about transfers to metro lines and an expanded list of the main streets along the route. Furthermore, the text elements were made of adhesive film, and high humidity often caused the letters to peel off. This design was used on some routes since the mid-2000s.

All information on navigation elements is now printed in color. To ensure passengers can easily understand the information, specialists have retained the familiar format for listing key streets and transport facilities, placing them in a row but more clearly separating the names.
