Scientists have decoded the DNA of a celebrated "living fossil" fish, gaining new insights into how today's mammals, amphibians, reptiles and birds evolved from a fish ancestor.
Size works in combination with a couple other physical traits, a team of biologists found.
The deep blue sea is home to many a strange creature - giant squids, fish that look like blobs, and jellyfish that look like UFOs - but now we can add transparent-blooded fish to that list of strange-but-true animals.
A rare giant bird egg is being auctioned at Christie's auction house in London. It was laid by an Elephant Bird in Madagascar and is thought to have been discovered by archaeologists in the late 19th or early 20th century.
“Palaeo” lifestyle trends are popular at the moment – but they are rooted in evolutionary myths, says biologist Marlene Zuk
