A group of Argentine researchers has found the remains of a giant fossil penguin in the Antarctic Peninsula. According to estimates, the animal would be about 34 million years old and measure about two meters, which makes it the tallest known so far.

If the island of Madagascar separated from the African continent about 130 million years ago, and from India between 65 and 80 million years ago, after the dismemberment of the supercontinent Gondwana, how did the diverse and exotic fauna that inhabit it got there? at the moment?

One of the biggest problems in studying wild animals is how to get the most information about them without disturbing them. The association EDMAKTUB (Association for the Study and Dissemination of the Aquatic Environment) has developed a new methodology to study cetaceans without harming them: monitoring by means of a remote-controlled model airplane.

On the scale of a bee, the flowers of the field are widely separated from each other, and if you go from one to another without following a certain order, the energy expenditure is so great that it may not be compensated by the energy obtained from the collected nectar. However, bees are able to find the most efficient route to take advantage of their exits from the nest, according to a study published in the journal PLos Biology, the first to demonstrate the ability of bees to orient and memory under natural conditions.
