Zoology

It’s a big honor for such a small amphibian

But the biological significance of their shifts is a mystery

It’s named for a Chinese philosopher

Here there be monsters

How about an ice cream cone with a dirt chaser?

Or does Polly just want attention?

These mysterious species have a lot of tricks

They’re particularly good at remembering where their prey is hiding

Graveyards are teeming with life

Ship encounters are deadly—even for 90,000-pound animals

It’s a striking example of convergent evolution

It’s encouraging evidence that conservation measures matter
