Meet the newest species of tarantula. It’s electric blue.

Blue is surprisingly rare in nature—which is why experts say this iridescent spider “is something meant to be seen.”

"Scientists say that the sharks’ disappearance was indeed caused by the killer whales. But the sharks aren’t dead. They just moved. Across South Africa, they found, the white shark population has taken a pronounced eastward shift."

"During kelping, whales tend to lift the seaweed up and balance it on their rostrum, their flat upper head. They also share their kelp patches with other whales, engaging in behaviours such as rolling, lifting and balancing the seaweed together."

Playful whales can use seaweed as a hat – or exfoliant. This "kelping" behaviour is more common than we realised

If a whale comes across a patch of kelp, it may well start playing with it. This practice may also be useful to rid whales of unwanted passengers.

"Native bees are responsible for pollinating three-quarters of all flowering plants. These intrepid indigenous pollinators can be found in almost every corner of the world, including Alaska and even the Arctic."

"Along with more fossils and artifacts, the DNA findings are pointing us to a challenging idea: We’re not so special. For most of human history we shared the planet with other kinds of early humans, and those now-extinct groups were a lot like us."
