Researchers working with Colossal Biosciences have assembled a near-complete Tasmanian tiger genome and developed artificial reproductive technologies that could help de-extinct the species.

Researchers have discovered enormous tube worms and other creatures thriving in cavities beneath the seafloor on the East Pacific Rise, an ocean ridge near the Galápagos Islands.

Female gibbons appear to do robot dances for attention, scientists discover.

Spiders swinging lassos, ants setting deadly traps and turtles with deceiving tongues — these animals have the most cunning methods of hunting their prey.

Scientists extract DNA from hair embedded in the Tsavo lions' jaws that reveals the species of prey they ate while they were alive.

The fossil showed unique stalked eyes and centipede-like characteristics.

Some cats chatter, oftentimes when they see prey. But why?

Researchers discovered that some comb jellies can fuse their bodies together when injured. The unique adaptation, which involves merging their nervous systems and stomachs, has never been seen in any other species.

Sharks easily consumed large, spiky sea urchins – sometimes in just a few gulps.

This living fossil can grow as large as an alligator, has two rows of needle-sharp teeth, and such strong armor that it survived predatory dinosaurs.
