Dolphins—like other cetaceans such as whales, wholphins, and porpoises—are highly intelligent marine mammals, capable of astonishing feats. A recent University of Leeds study, led by Sonja Wild, adds to what we humans have learned about what and how dolphins learn.^1,2

Dolphins catch fish as prey by a mix of programmed instincts and learning.^3,4

A complex metabolic process called Chaperone-Mediated-Autophagy (CMA) was thought to be a recent evolutionary development in land vertebrates as it was only previously documented in mammals and birds. Now it has been found to be fully operational in fish—once again demonstrating that a lack of human knowledge is not evidence for evolution.¹

Two of the remotest places ever visited by humans are the moon and the deepest part of the ocean. Earth’s lowest point is called the “Challenger Deep,” a depression inside the southern end of the Mariana Trench—the deepest point in the western Pacific Ocean, located in the territorial waters of the Federated States of Micronesia, east of the Mariana Islands.

Recently reported research demonstrates how astonishingly helpful scales are to fish—such as the common carp (Cyprinus carpio), whose scales blend armor-like protection with flexibility needed for underwater mobility.^1,2

The carp scales research is published in the journal Matter,¹ and has been briefed in Science Daily.²

A new analysis of thousands of deep earthquakes has revealed several large structures at the base of the mantle.¹ Known as ultra-low velocity zones, these structures may give us better insight into the origins of hot spots which produced the Hawaiian Islands during the Flood year.
