Norwegian fishermen came across a strangely behaving beluga whale back in 2019, at the port of Hammerfest. The beluga was attracted to people, and it showed up far from the Arctic waters, where its natural habitat is found. But even more surprisingly, it was wearing a harness with a mount for a camera on it that was labeled “Equipment of St. Petersburg”. Hvaldimir, the beluga whale, even tried to pull ropes from the sides of a Norwegian fishing vessel when he was discovered.

As if a jellyfish and a flamingo had a baby. Despite its alluring name, the pink see-through fantasia is not a piece of seductive lingerie but a sea cucumber living about 1.5 miles (2,500 meters) deep in the Celebes Sea west of Borneo. Discovered only in 2007 by a team of marine biologists, this unique creature has evolved a survival tactic of bioluminescence to protect itself from predators. Its transparent skin allows its mouth, anus, and even intestines to be seen, allowing scientists to observe its digestive system in action.

Watch as an alpine salamander grows from a single cell. mage credit: Jan van IJken/Youtube Dutch director Jan van IJken has produced a captivating short film titled ‘Becoming’ that portrays the entire embryonic growth of an alpine newt in about six minutes, compressing a process that normally takes about three weeks. The film commences by illustrating the fundamental process of embryogenesis, where a single cell of the newt divides and multiplies into several cells. “We see the ‘making of’ a salamander in its transparent egg from fertilization to hatching,” according to IJken’s website. “The first stages of embryonic development are…

Los arqueólogos han descubierto 51 huesos en un antiguo cementerio en Hungría. Todos estos ѕkeɩetoпѕ tenían cráneos extendidos, lo cual era ᴜпᴜѕᴜаɩ para la población de esta región. Se estudiaron estos cráneos alargados y se descubrió que estas personas vivieron en el siglo V EC. Mözs-Icsei-dl es el nombre de este antiguo cementerio. Los 51 de estos bocetos tenían una cabeza anormalmente agrandada, muy probablemente debido a las envolturas de los daños.

Aunque los expertos generalmente asumen que se empleó para transmitir algún tipo de rango social, también debemos…

Estas momias no están momificadas intencionalmente, sino que se han conservado debido a la ubicación desértica en la que fueron encontradas. Debido a las condiciones áridas de la cuenca del Tarim, los procesos químicos que conducen a la descomposición se ralentizan drásticamente, lo que hace que los cadáveres permanezcan en muy buenas condiciones incluso miles de años después de la muerte del individuo. Esto también se ve en el hiperárido desierto de Atacama en Chile. Descubrimientos de momias Algunas de las primeras momias se encontraron cerca de un pueblo uigur. Datan de entre 2000 y 4000 años antes del presente. La ropa se ha…
