Experts think there are more GIGANTIC ANIMALS on Earth yet to be discovered
Back in 2020, experts first laid eyes on what may be the longest animal ever discovered. Researchers reported that they found a roughly 150-foot-long (45-meter) siphonophore in a deep-sea canyon off the Australian coast. Because experts didn’t discover siphonophores until recently, it’s possible that there are more giant animals left to discover. Large animals from the ocean and on land […]

Video footage shows pod of killer whales freeing a humpback whale tangled in rope
Orcas (Orcinus orca) are known for being some of the fiercest predators in the ocean. But unusual video footage taken off the coast of Western Australia showed a pod of orcas freeing a humpback whale (Megaptera novaeangliae) from a rope tangled in its tail. But did the orcas really try to rescue the whale? Fierce killer whales Orcas […]

New research suggests mushrooms can communicate with each other using up to 50 “words”
A recent study published in the Royal Society Open Science journal has found that mushrooms can communicate with each other. Scientists even believe they are able to use up to 50 “words.” “[We] found that the ‘fungal language’ exceeds the European languages in morphological complexity,” reads the study, written by Andrew Adamatzky, professor of computer science at […]

MRI-based map of squid brains reveal cephalopods are just as smart as dogs
The cephalopod class of mollusks – which include cuttlefish, squid, and octopuses – are considered intelligent invertebrates and are important examples of advanced cognitive evolution in animals. Without exception, cephalopods are active predators that have the ability to locate and capture prey, which demands some sort of reasoning power. There are more to squids than […]

Green scream: Plants emit “ultrasonic squeals” when stressed by drought or physical damage
Plants let out “ultrasonic squeals” when they are damaged or stressed by drought. Researchers at Tel Aviv University in Israel discovered this after placing microphones near tomato and tobacco plants. Thanks to the microphones, the researchers were able to detect distinct sounds emanating from the plants. The sounds are too high-frequency for humans to hear, but other plants and some animals may be able to perceive […]
