Groves and Dan Mann, both researchers at the University of Alaska Fairbanks, … [Read more...] about Scientists in Fairbanks Were Astounded to Discover an Entire 40,000-Year-Old Steppe Bison

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
