If you thought we already knew the basics about dinosaurs, was the year that proved just how wrong that assumption really is. From a tiny tyrannosaur settling a decades-long debate to a 150-million-year-old bird rewriting the textbooks, paleontology had one of its most breathtaking years on record. Honestly, it felt less like science and more ...
There is a bird soaring above the Mediterranean right now, riding invisible columns of warm air at heights most of us will only ever see from an airplane window. It weighs as much as a medium-sized dog, spans nearly the length of a small car from wingtip to wingtip, and can devour a carcass laced ...

Southern Amazon Basin – Scientists have uncovered stark evidence that widespread forest clearing has triggered a sharp decline in rainfall across the region over the past four decades. A study published in Nature Communications revealed that deforestation accounted for 52 to 72 percent of an 8 to 11 percent reduction in annual precipitation between 1980 ...
Juno Beach, Fla. – Staff at the Loggerhead Marinelife Center released a resilient adult female Kemp’s ridley sea turtle named Amelie into the Atlantic Ocean after months of intensive care. The three-limbed survivor now travels under constant watch from satellite tags, part of a pioneering collaboration with the Smithsonian Conservation Biology Institute. Researchers aim to ...
Newfoundland, Canada – Researchers have uncovered a treasure trove of exceptionally preserved fossils at the Inner Meadow site, pushing the known lifespan of the enigmatic Avalon Assemblage to 551 million years ago. This discovery, detailed in a recent study published in the journal Geology, reveals that ancient soft-bodied organisms persisted longer than previously thought before ...
Valentia Island, Ireland – Fossilized footprints etched into ancient rock slabs along this remote southwestern shore offer a rare glimpse into one of prehistory’s pivotal moments. These Devonian tetrapod trackways, preserved in the Valentia Slate Formation, capture the tentative ventures of early four-limbed vertebrates onto dry land some 385 million years ago. Scientists regard the ...
