Boa snake named Ronaldo has 14 babies after "virgin birth" A 13-year-old boa snake who was thought to be male gave birth to 14 babies, even though it hasn't been in contact with other snakes in years, according to researchers at City of Portsmouth College in southern England. Snakes are capable of parthenogenesis, asexual reproduction that's more commonly known as "virgin births." City of Portsmouth College reptile specialist Pete Quinlan hadn't realized Ronaldo the snake was pregnant, he said in a news release. "Ronaldo had been looking slightly fatter than usual, like he'd eaten a big meal, but we never thought for a moment that he, or should we say she, was pregnant," Quinlan said.

Fossil of Neanderthal child with signs of Down syndrome suggests compassionate care, scientists say A fossil of the inner ear of a six-year-old Neanderthal child that showed signs of Down syndrome seems to indicate that the ancient, now-extinct species were compassionate caregivers, according to a new study in the publication Science Advances. Archeologists in eastern Spain unearthed the fossil in 1989, which showed the complete inner ear anatomy of the Neanderthal child who scientists nick-named Tina. The abnormalities in Tina's ear are known only in people with Down syndrome, making the fossil the earliest-known evidence of the genetic condition.

These cannibal baby sharks eat their siblings in the womb – and sketches show just how gruesome it can be As adults, sand tiger sharks are known for being relatively non-aggressive. But as babies, these animals engage in a cannibalistic war with dozens of siblings in which only one survives. It's all part of a natural occurrence known as intrauterine cannibalism. Sand tiger sharks are perhaps one of the most well-known species in which this occurs. These sharks are ovoviviparous, meaning that their offspring grow in eggs in the sharks' uteri until they hatch, at which point, they emerge into the ocean. "It is survival of the fittest. The strongest one will emerge," Lizeth Webster, curator of fish and invertebrates at the Long...more Go top of page Go bottom of page |

Scientists discover underground cave on the moon that could shelter astronauts on future trips to space Scientists have confirmed a cave on the moon, not far from where Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin landed 55 years ago, and suspect there are hundreds more that could house future astronauts.

It's located at the Sea of Tranquility, just 250 miles (400 kilometers) from Apollo 11's landing site.

Climate change is making days longer, according to new research Climate change is making days longer, as the melting of glaciers and polar ice sheets causes water to move closer to the equator, fattening the planet and slowing its rotation, according to a recent study. Research published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences used both observations and reconstructions to track variations of mass at Earth's surface since 1900. In the 20th century, researchers found that between 0.3 milliseconds per century and 1 millisecond per century were added to the length of a day by climate-induced increases. Since 2000, they found that number accelerated to 1.3 milliseconds per century. "We can see our impact as...more Go top of page Go bottom of page |
