Elephants Dead In Botswana

As poaching season draws near, many poachers have turned their eyes on Botswana, which houses the world’s largest population of elephants. In the last few months, out of the 130,000 elephants living in Botswana, a group of conservationists reported 90 were found dead near Botswana’s famous wildlife sanctuary, the Okavango Delta. This event is recorded as one of the largest elephant mass-poachings.

Welcome To The Meghalayan Age!

Thirsty plants. Overheated land. Devastating droughts. The modern world. Enter the Meghalayan Age! Throughout the course of history, geologists have categorized time into chunks – distinct categories to classify the earth’s history.

As our earth entered a warming period, animals such as the mammoth and woolly rhinoceros disappeared, and humans learned to hunt smaller animals and rely on plants for their diet. Recently, the International Union of Geological Sciences (IUGS)...

The word comes from the Greek word “Petros” which means stone and the Greek word “ichor” which refers to “the fluid that flows in the veins of the gods”. Science Of Petrichor Researchers noticed that a yellowish...

How Science Is Helping Save Koalas

Koalas-- these cuddly, furry, huggable creatures are known for their Australian roots, wonky diet, and impressive nap times. But they have sadly become endangered over the past few decades. Scientists have long known that the species’ rapid decline has been due to outside causes such as deforestation, and internal causes such as weakness to disease. But now they have a readable map for koala DNA. Just recently, researchers finished decoding the entirety of the koalas’ genome, all 26,000 genes! This new knowledge will give scientists information about key traits in koalas -- how they eat...
