When waters are murky, how do seals find fish? They don't have a sonar apparatus like whales, and yet they somehow hunt successfully in the dark.


Specialized Communication Enables Dolphin Diplomacy

What happens when two dolphins rapidly swim toward the same piece of food? Without some avoidance feature, bottlenose dolphins would become "bashed-nose" dolphins, or worse.

Australopithecus sediba: Another Human Ancestor?

Partial remains of two skeletons were discovered in a cave in South Africa, and some scientists think they may be another addition to humanity's evolutionary tree.

However, new artifact finds have not corroborated this naturalistic story.
