Lost, alone and having suffered life-threatening injuries in the drought-ravaged savannah, the future seemed bleak for these two orphaned baby elephants. Kadiki had been attacked by a lion when only a day old, suffering deep claw wounds to her trunk and terrible damage to her tail. She was so young, she had not yet been fed by her mother. In a separate incident in the searing heat of Zimbabwe, one-month-old Bumi had somehow got stuck among rocks and suffered severe sunburn. Usually, elephant calves are shaded by their mothers. One-month-old Bumi had somehow got stuck among rocks and suffered severe…

Chinese palaeontologists have discovered an extraordinarily complete jurassic dinosaur skeleton. The fossil, found in Lufeng, south west China, is about 70 per cent intact and belongs to a dinosaur believed to have been nearly eight metres in length.

The world’s first horseback riders swept across the steppe roughly 5,000 years ago, a new skeletal analysis of tombs across Europe and Asia reveals. Archaeologists accidentally discovered the world’s earliest horseback riders while studying skeletons found beneath 5,000-year-old burial mounds in Europe and Asia, a new study finds. The ancient riders were part of the so-called Yamnaya culture, groups of semi-nomadic people who swept across Europe and western Asia, bringing the precursor to the Indo-European language family with them. The findings strengthen the hypothesis that the horse played an integral part in the expansion of this group, and therefore, in the spread…
The man escaped the ash and lava, but died thanks to a rock sent flying through the sky by the force of the volcanic eruption. Almost 2,000 years after its destruction, the ancient city of Pompeii is still yielding new discoveries. Archaeologists at the historic site have uncovered a new skeleton of a man who was fleeing the city ahead of the eruption of Mount Vesuvius, only to be crushed to death by a falling stone. Archaeologists believe the man, thought to be in his thirties, was slowed down by a bone infection in his leg, according to the New York Times. Spared from…
We have seen all kinds of wild videos, but this one is arguably the most inexplicable yet. A video is going viral showing a woman roaming with six lionesses as if it’s no big deal. We are not sure if it’s being brave or stupid. In the video, the woman can be casually seen walking with a group of lionesses. Given how calm the woman is about the whole thing, we can assume this isn’t her first such stunt. In the clip that seems to have been shot in the jungle, the lionesses also seem pretty comfortable in the woman’s company. They neither…

A stone knife, mastodon bones and fossilized dung Discovered in an underwater sinkhole show that humans lived in north Florida about 14,500 years ago, according to new research that recommends the colonization of the Americas was far more complex than originally believed. Archaeologists have known about the sinkhole in the Aucilla river, south of Tallahassee, for years. But they recently dived back into the hole to excavate what they call clear proof that ancient mankind spread throughout the Americas about 1,500 years earlier than previously thought. Neil Puckett, from Texas A&M University, surfaces with a limb bone of a juvenile mastodon at a sinkhole in…

That is so heartwarming! It’s wonderful to see the bond between a mother and her baby, especially when they have been through such a difficult time.It’s a reminder that sometimes all we need is the comfort of a loved one to get us through our toughest moments. This happy-ending story began as one of the saddest, when a mother dog cried out in anguish, seeming to beg us to help her badly wounded baby. She didn’t stop trying desperately to communicate as we gently lifted her puppy who had two deep wounds and placed him in the ambulance. We couldn’t…
