A 15-year-old roloway monkey at Chester Zoo had a golf-ball-sized mass in one foot, the team that removed it could find no previous example of the procedure in her species, and she kept every toe but one and gave birth to her third daughter months later
13+ hour, 27+ min ago (1081+ words) Masaya had trouble with the same foot from the time she arrived at Chester Zoo in 2023, and x-rays, ultrasounds and biopsies left the vets with a hedged conclusion rather than a diagnosis. Zoo vets and university surgeons operated anyway. By…...

An Iowa man built his six-inch parakeet a miniature submarine so the bird could join him underwater in the Bahamas — the homemade capsule used a paintball air tank, safety valves and an oxygen monitor and carried Bebe about three feet beneath the surface for 15 minutes
2+ day, 5+ hour ago (286+ words) Six inches of green parakeet hovering over a Bahamian reef, squinting at coral through the wall of a repurposed food container, is an image evolution had not...
Adult females of a millipede newly described from the Kazakh Altai have almost no second pair of legs, the subadult females still have them, and in both of the only two adult females collected the flattened leg bases block the genital opening
2+ day, 15+ hour ago (705+ words) The reduction appears to be unique in the millipede order Polydesmida, and in both known adult females the flattened leg bases sit over the vulva like a lid. More than forty adult males came out of the same litter sample, and…...
Scientists have traced the human eye back to a tiny one-eyed ancestor that lived nearly 600 million years ago — and remnants of that ancient “cyclops” eye may still survive inside our brains as the pineal gland

200 million evenly spaced termite mounds cover a region of northeastern Brazil roughly the size of Great Britain — some are 4,000 years old, and they aren't nests at all but dirt excavated from a vast network of tunnels hidden underneath

A cave in New Zealand preserved a lost world from a million years ago — ancient parrots, giant flightless rails and a bird community reshaped by supereruptions and Ice Age climate swings long before humans ever reached the islands
1+ week, 10+ hour ago (165+ words) New Zealand's fossil record rewrites itself: a cave revealed birds that vanished millions of years before humans set foot on the islands, reshaped by forces far more violent than any spear....
