In 2006, University of Washington biologist John Marzluff wore a caveman mask while trapping and banding seven Seattle crows; the birds taught others—including offspring born years later—to scold anyone wearing it, and the warning spread across campus for 17 years before a masked walk in September 2023 finally produced silence.

Pigeons were trained to tell a Monet from a Picasso, and then did something odder — shown paintings they had never seen, they sorted Cezanne with the Monets and Braque with the Picassos.
3+ week, 2+ day ago (402+ words) The birds had grasped something deeper than memorization—a visual principle that let them recognize artistic style in works they'd never encountered.

An ROV survey in October 2024 under a tuna ranch off north-east Malta counted an estimated 100 to 150 common eagle rays — the largest known aggregation of Myliobatis aquila, apparently feeding on leftover baitfish

A coyote somehow swam two miles to Alcatraz, vanished before cameras could find him again, and DNA in his droppings revealed he had crossed from Angel Island, not nearby San Francisco as biologists expected
1+ week, 3+ day ago (713+ words) By Science Blog Editorial Team Published September 2, 2026 · How we edit Alcatraz was built on the assumption that its water would do the guarding. Cold, fast and mean enough that, per Associated Press reporting on the island’s history, 36 men attempted 14 escapes…...

Researchers attached an artificial muscle to a real seal whisker and found why seals can hunt in complete darkness — the whisker’s wavy shape cancels its own noise while rhythmic sweeping exposes the wake left behind by prey
2+ week, 5+ day ago (1605+ words) A soft actuator moved and stiffened a natural harbour-seal whisker, revealing how undulated geometry suppresses self-noise while protraction strengthens a wake signal.

Scientists uncovered a bizarre crocodile cousin from 215 million years ago that started life walking on all fours, then changed its entire stance as it grew — by adulthood it was standing upright and striding around on two legs
