Sea turtles are less slow and steady than we have historically assumed. On the Ningaloo Coast of Australia, a photographer captured a heroic fight between a sea turtle and a tiger shark.
In the world you know, actions have causes and effects, objects exist as one thing or another, and everything is what it is whether you observe it or not.
How bioprinting, the medical equivilent of 3D printing can revolutionize organ donation and beyond.
One of the marked differences climate change and a warming planet will make to life on Earth is their effect on human health.
Desalination is one of the most widespread clean water technologies on the planet, so what is being done to make it cheaper and more accessible?
Large wildfires are becoming more frequent as the planet warms and the heat, smoke, and gases they generate add to climate change. What is less well known is they can create their own weather. In 2021, California’s Dixie Fire generated its own giant storm clouds, lightning, and fiery whirlwinds.
Scientists at the University of Miami Rosenstiel School of Marine and Atmospheric Science have speculated that variables related to high urbanization may be driving higher occurrences of sharks within coastal waters. With high increased levels of urbanization in coastal cities, it’s important for our world to understand how ocean life adapts to the changes in their habitats.
The oldest grizzly thought to have roamed the Yellowstone region was identified as being a whopping 34 years old, after biologists spotted a mark on his lip made in 1989.
The Greenland shark, one of the longest living animals on Earth, was surprisingly found in coral reefs off the coast of Belize. The Greenland shark most commonly lives in colder waters around Greenland and Iceland and can live to be over 500 years old.
Oceans rely on their largest species, especially whales, to recycle and regenerate ecosystems. Studies at Stanford University identify the whale as an animal that recharges its own food sources and recycles carbon. Now researchers think they have found a way to seed plankton and krill numbers that will boost whale populations and restore fading sea life.
A few months ago, Georgia Aquarium welcomed two new additions to their Asian small-clawed otter habitat. Triton, a 4-year-old female, and Han, a 3-year-old male, joined the Aquarium as part of the Association of Zoos and Aquariums’ (AZA) Species Survival Program (SSP).
The world is currently locked in the grip of the deadly novel coronavirus. Around the globe, schools are closed, businesses are shuttered, and families are staying home as much as possible in order to curb the spread of the disease.
Does darkness really have a speed?
This little experiment started science down the bizarre road of quantum mechanics.
A planet's density tells us more information than its size.
