Scientists have found a new dinosaur that lived before the famous T. rex! This dinosaur is called Khankhuuluu and was discovered in Mongolia. It had a long snout, small horns, and a slim body. It looked a bit like its bigger relatives but was still quite fast. It’s like comparing a little kid who runs really fast with a tall adult who might be a bit slower! 🏃‍♂️💨 Interestingly, this dinosaur was an important step in evolution. It helps scientists understand how giant predat

In the misty mountains of New Guinea, a scientist from the Czech Republic made an incredible discovery! He managed to take photos, videos, and gather data about a rare giant rat called the Subalpine Woolly Rat. It was only known from old museum exhibits, and now we know it still lives after 30 years of being unseen! 🌄 This rat is not ordinary; it’s big and fluffy, like a stuffed toy, and it can tell us a lot about the nature of its area. The scientist worked with local hunte

Scientists have discovered a new dinosaur species called Khankhuuluu. This dinosaur lived before the famous T. rex! It looked like a small dragon: it had a long snout, tiny horns, and a slim build. This means it was a link between speedy mid-sized predators and huge dinosaurs like T. rex. 🦖 Interestingly, this dinosaur lived in Mongolia, and its discovery helps scientists understand how large predatory dinosaurs evolved. They first appeared in North America after migrating f

Naked mole-rats are funny-looking animals that resemble little potatoes with legs! 🥔 Scientists discovered that these quirky creatures have a secret that helps them live longer. They have special proteins in their bodies that act like tiny repair workers, fixing damaged DNA — just like if you patched a hole in your clothes! When scientists made small changes to these proteins, both the naked mole-rats and even fruit flies with similar changes lived longer. 🌟 This gives hope

Scientists have made an amazing discovery! They found real teeth growing on the head of a fish called the spotted ratfish. These teeth help males hold onto females during mating, just like holding hands! 🐟 This discovery shows that teeth can grow not just in jaws, like ours, but also in other parts of the body. It’s a bit like how some animals have spikes or other strange features. 🌟 These teeth are called "tenaculum," and scientists realized they form in the same way as te

Scientists have discovered a fossil of a fly that is 151 million years old! This tiny ancient friend, called Telmatomyia talbragarica, was found in Australia. It shows that some flies that live in freshwater appeared earlier than scientists thought. They were usually believed to be only ocean creatures! This discovery helps us understand how insects evolved on Earth. 🌍✨ Now we know that some flies could be much older than we believed, and this changes our ideas about how dif

Scientists used to think that if a fish “hangs” in the water and doesn’t swim, it means it’s resting. But it turned out to be the opposite! When a fish stays still, it spends twice as much energy as when it just lies on the bottom. Why is that? Because fish constantly move their fins a little to avoid tipping over to the side or drifting away. It’s like trying to stay still on a bicycle — you always need to make tiny movements not to fall. For some fish, hovering is easier, a
