Octopuses and their arms are a bit of a mystery. Not because scientists donโ€™t know how they work; theyโ€™re boneless hydrostats, made up of groups of muscles working together and capable of bending, twisting, elongating or shortening โ€” like a frogโ€™s tongue, or an elephantโ€™s trunk. But because scientists are still figuring out how most octopuses use tโ€ฆ

The overall state of birds can seem rather grim. Almost a third of North American bird species are in decline, and in the last five decades, more than 100 species have lost over half of their populations. This is primarily due to lack of foodโ€”fewer insects to eatโ€”and habitat loss, like the development of grasslands. But thereโ€™s a bright spot: Some โ€ฆ

Codependency between humans gets a bad rap. But in nature, species often rely on each other for survival.

You might remember news reporting from earlier this year that a 180-foot asteroid had about a 3% chance of hitting Earth in 2032.
