Acoustic Communication in Animals

We are all familiar with vocalizations in the animal world. For example, dogs bark, birds sing, frogs croak, and whales send forth their own distinct sounds.¹ Recently, a detailed investigation has been conducted to determine sounds made by animals previously thought to be mute.

Giant ''Meg'' Shark: Longer and Leaner?

Fossil remains of the giant shark Otodus megalodon have been found in Miocene¹ and Pliocene² rock layers, which ICR scientists interpret as having been formed during the Genesis Flood.³ Paleontologists recently revised the estimated adult body length for megalodon upward from 15.9 meters (52 feet) to 24.3 meters (80 feet). Based on considerations of swimming efficiency, they concluded the megalodon’s body was probably more elongated like that of a lemon shark (see figure) rather than stocky and bulky like that of a great ...More...

Marine Mammals: Designed for Deep Diving

While you’re reading this, hold your breath. What is now happening is your blood is delivering the last of oxygenated blood cells to your tissues while carbon dioxide is rapidly building up (hypercapnia). At the same time, there is a steady decrease of blood oxygen (hypoxia). The pH of your blood is getting slightly lower (acidic), and your heart starts to beat faster. God designed your brain to sense the increased carbon dioxide levels and initiates the effort for you to breathe. This will last for about a minute before there will be an involuntary intake of air via the ...More...

''Inside-Out'' Fossil is Amazingly Preserved

It is widely known that vast numbers of fossils—vertebrate and invertebrate—have been discovered incredibly well-preserved.^1,2 Such preservation points clearly to a sudden, catastrophic event that overwhelmed and buried creatures in multiple tons of sedimentary rock—like a massive flood perhaps.

The late Dr. John Morris of ICR described some of the Genesis Flood activity.
