Dolphins working with people to catch fish recently made a big splash. But humans have a long history of cooperating with other animals.
Pokémon “evolve” into larger, more powerful forms within seconds, but this evolution more closely resembles another biological process — metamorphosis.
Red flour beetles can survive in very dry environments. New research shows how the beetles can suck water from the air using their rear ends.
Glass frogs snoozing among leaves blend in by hiding almost all their red blood cells in their liver.
Unlike cats, whose ancestors hunted alone, dogs evolved from a species that hunted in packs. Being social might explain why pups copy humans.
Pei-Chih Lee works to preserve genetic material that can help researchers learn more about endangered animals, such as pandas and clouded leopards.
Frogs are a fascinating bunch of amphibians. Unfortunately, they’re also dying off in huge numbers.
It’s not fast, but jumping beans use randomness to maximize their chances of getting out of the sun’s heat.
Wind farms, solar panels and more take up land and may harm wildlife. Researchers are working to resolve this conflict.
