A polar bear was filmed hunting and devouring a reindeer, a spectacle that had never before been completely captured on camera. But make no mistake, the change in diet is probably a sign of climate change driving the endangered species inward and not polar bears expanding their horizons and experimenting with new foods. Polar Biology just published a description of the hunt … [Read more...] about Scientists Have Captured The First-Ever Video in The World of a Polar Bear Hunting a Reindeer

Discovered by Scientists After Opening A Cave Isolated for More Than Five Million Years
The people that live in the Movile Cave are unique. Only a few kilometers west of the Black Sea in Romania, this cave's "otherworldly" surroundings have been walled off for over 5.5 million years. Despite the toxic and oppressively humid air, researchers have found a treasure trove thanks to this combination of circumstances. According to BBC Earth, less than 100 individuals … [Read more...] about Discovered by Scientists After Opening A Cave Isolated for More Than Five Million Years
Pits On The Moon That Remain At A Temperature Perfect For Living In Are Found by Scientists
These geological structures hover at a comfortable temperature and they could be ideal places for shelter. NASA-funded researchers have found that the shadowed regions in the strange geological structures known as lunar pits hover at a comfortable 17°C (63°F), a wonderful temperature for working and living in. This discovery might fundamentally alter how humans explore the … [Read more...] about Pits On The Moon That Remain At A Temperature Perfect For Living In Are Found by Scientists
Indonesian Scientists Discovered The World’s First Carnivorous Pitcher Plants That Feed Underground
Nepenthes pudica uses underground pitchers to make delicious ant soup. As far as botanical animals go, carnivorous pitcher plants are pretty badass (some of them devour salamanders, so there), and they just got a whole lot more metal as scientists have for the first time discovered a nepenthes species that gorges underground. The underground predator, which captures ants and … [Read more...] about Indonesian Scientists Discovered The World’s First Carnivorous Pitcher Plants That Feed Underground
Scientists Make Mouse Clones From Freeze-Dried Cells in a Cloning Breakthrough
It is a much safer and more cost-effective method. Animal extinction is occurring at an alarming rate as a result of human activities, including direct killing and habitat damage. Cloning is one of the activities at the forefront of this since many have reached a stage where conservation and breeding efforts are the only way to preserve the species alive. But doing so is … [Read more...] about Scientists Make Mouse Clones From Freeze-Dried Cells in a Cloning Breakthrough
