The field of de-extinction – bringing back traits of extinct species through genetic engineering – has taken a fascinating leap forward with the development of ‘woolly mice’. These transgenic rodents, bred to exhibit thick, golden fur reminiscent of the woolly mammoth, mark an impressive feat in genetic engineering. However, while Read more…
The “Thunder beast” fossils, also known as Brontotheres, are an extinct group of large herbivorous mammals that lived in North America during the Eocene epoch, around 56 to 33.9 million years ago. New research on these fossils is shedding light on how some mammals might have evolved to be so Read more…
Clam : What happens when curiosity meets science? Well, it’s hard to say as it isn’t a one-time phenomenon. Oceans are hoards of secrets waiting to be discovered. And recently scientists have discovered a clam species that was thought to be extinct for more than 40,000 years. In 2018, off Read more…
Reptile Evolution : 250 million years ago, mother nature decided to wipe her slate clean for the Triassic reptiles that ruled the era. The big mass extinction paved way for some lucky creatures that survived the global-scale catastrophe to accelerate their rate of evolution and create a whole new ecology. Read more…
The largest green patch of the world- the Amazon Rainforest, known as the lungs of our planet producing more than 20% of the world’s oxygen is at greater risk of deforestation than ever before. Scientists found that since 2001, the Amazon Rainforest has lost more than 190,000 sq. kilometers of Read more…
Blue Butterfly : The extinction of species isn’t new to the planet as it had been part of the life cycle since life 1st began on Earth. Extinction of weak species by natural selection or Extinction of life form by unexpected natural disasters like the dinosaurs wiped out by an Read more…
