Trees are living memorial statues, and we can learn a lot from their rings. A tree can tell you if the winter was wet or if the area was affected by hurricanes or fires. One particular tree attracted the attention of everyone. It was found in Ngawha, on New Zealand’s North Island. According to experts, the tree had a record of a reversal of Earth’s magnetic field. It’s actually an Agathisaustralis, also known as “kauri.” The tree was found during excavation work for the expansion of a geothermal power plant. Ngāwhā Generation is a subsidiary of Top Energy.

A kingsnake came ᴄʟᴏsᴇ to swallowing this alligator lizard whole, yet it chose to ғɪɢʜᴛ back instead of being ᴋɪʟʟed. The brave reptile, unable to accept that it would end up as dinner, clung tenaciously to the California kingsnake. Bryan Snyder, a Santa Barbara, California, naturalist and author, captured the strange images while enjoying a morning stroll through the Santa Ynez Valley. According to Bryan, a California kingsnake grabbed the body of an alligator lizard to sʜᴏᴄᴋ it, but the lizard hooked onto the snake’s body before it could turn to consume the snake head-first. The lizard attempted to ᴄʟᴏsᴇ…
An Asian elephant was pulled from the Iɴᴅɪᴀn Ocean by the Sʀɪ Lᴀɴᴋᴀn Navy. According to military forces, the animal was likely crossing the Kokkilai lagoon, a big body of water sandwiched between two jungles, when it became entangled in a riptide or current that dragged it out to sea. Although some people might be sᴜʀᴘʀɪsᴇd to learn that elephants swim frequently, this is a common kind of elephant activity. Elephants are excellent swimmers and may travel up to 6 miles between islands by swimming over straits. However, an elephant can usually only swim a short distance, not 10 miles.…
A man saved an orphaned pelican, and the two have since forged an amazing connection. He now sees the camp as his flock. That is the tale of Jeffrey Condon, camp manager of Tᴀɴᴢᴀɴɪᴀ’s Nomad Lodges, a place where a wide variety of animals reside.

The images depict a snake hanging from the gutter of a wOᴍᴀɴ’s home in Agnes Waters, Queensland, eating a parrot head first. The pictures were shot by the owner of the house and forwarded to Stuart McKenzie, a snake handler, who then uploaded them online. Mr. McKenzie claims that carpet pythons, which may grow up to three meters in length, frequently prey on small animals and birds. They are opportunistic and will ᴀᴛᴛᴀᴄᴋ any bird that lands too ᴄʟᴏsᴇ to them. According to him, the parrot was struck by the python because it had likely fallen too ᴄʟᴏsᴇ to it…
After 50 years of immersion on the bottom of a basin, in Spain, a 5,000-year-old monument emerged. There are 144 granite blocks on the megalithic site, which are over 6 feet high, known as ‘ Spanish Stonehenge. ‘ Its similarity to the UNESCO World Heritage site in Wiltshire is striking, but the Iberian version is made of smaller rocks. The Spanish General ordered the construction of a hydroelectric dam at Peraleda de la Mata, near Cáceres in Extremadura, which was supposed to be condemned to the history books of the 1960s. However, a severe and prolonged drought has seen the…
We don’t come across papers that aim to alter reality every day. However, in a preprint sent to arXiv this summer, Vitaly Vanchurin, a physics professor at the University of Minnesota Duluth, attempts to reframe reality in a particularly eye-opening way, implying that we live inside a huge neural network that governs everything around us. In other words, he wrote in the paper, it’s a “possibility that the entire universe on its most fundamental level is a neural network.” For years, physicists have attempted to reconcile quantum mechanics and general relativity. The first posits that time is universal and absolute,…

Jason Talbott, a 42-year-old American from Kansas, managed to get a photo of the snake. The snake was found in the wild by his buddies, who later captured it. Unexpectedly, one of the heads strikes out at the other because it is more ferocious. Jason found it amusing that the snake had to cooperate in order to effectively Bɪᴛᴇ soᴍᴇᴛʜing because moving the body required moving both heads. The snake was harmless, despite its menacing appearance, and Jason agreed that its Bɪᴛᴇ couldn’t possibly be strong enough to pierce a person’s skin. Jason claims that the probability is 1 in…
This unlucky lizard was caught inside a bird’s mouth and became tangled horribly before it managed to escape and leave its tail behind. Salah Baazizi, a 46-year-old Aʟɢᴇʀɪᴀn immigrant who now calls Orange County home and is an amateur nature photographer, took time away from his work as a software developer to photograph the magnificent supper. At the Bolsa Chica Wildlife Conservancy in Southern California, Salah, who was watching from a distance of roughly 10 meters, captured the horrible picture of an egret munching on a lizard. The lizard struggled to get out of the egret’s jaws and eventually became…
Pour les archéologues, c’est la découverte sous-marine qui continue de donner. Un cargo de l’époque romaine, découvert par hasard au large de l’île grecque d’Anticythère il y a plus de 120 ans et considéré comme l’épave antique la plus riche du monde, a livré encore plus de trésors lors des explorations les plus récentes, y compris la tête manquante d’une statue du demi-dieu Hercule. Tête en marbre. “En 1900, [des plongeurs d’éponges] ont sorti la statue d’Hercule [de la mer] et maintenant, dans l’ensemble, nous avons probablement trouvé sa tête”, a déclaré le professeur Lorenz Baumer, l’archéologue classique qui supervise la…
Lundi dernier, le fermier James Bristle et son voisin creusaient une tranchée pour installer un tuyau de drainage dans son champ de blé à la périphérie de Chelsea, dans le Michigan. Lorsque leur rétrocaveuse a soudainement heurté quelque chose de dur à environ huit pieds sous terre. Au début, les deux hommes pensaient avoir heurté un morceau de bois enfoui, peut-être un poteau de clôture, mais ils se sont vite rendu compte qu’ils avaient découvert quelque chose qu’aucun n’avait jamais vu auparavant : un énorme os d’un mètre de long. “Nous ne savions pas ce que c’était, mais nous savions…

An uncharted region of space known as the “zone of avoidance” lurks behind the Milky Way’s center – and astronomers just found an enormous, multi-galaxy structure there. A composite image showing the 58 galaxies clustered together in the “zone of avoidance” behind the Milky Way. (Image credit: Galdeano et al. / ESO) Astronomers have detected an enormous extragalactic structure hiding in an uncharted region of space far beyond the Milky Way’s center. This phantom region, known as the zone of avoidance, is a blank spot on our map of the universe, comprising somewhere between 10% and 20% of the night…
The 3,000-year-old remains of an ancient fortification have been discovered at the bottom of Turkey’s largest lake. The underwater excavations were led by Van Yüzüncü Yıl University and the governorship of Turkey’s eastern Bitlis Province. The castle is said to belong to the Iron Age Armenian civilization also known as the Kingdom of Van, Urartu, Ararat and Armenia. The lake itself is believed to have been formed by a crater caused by a volcanic eruption of Mount Nemrut near the province of Van. The current water level of the reservoir is about 150 meters higher than it was during the Iron Age. Divers exploring…
Who knew that infant elephants and kids had so many things in common, like a liking of water and making bubbles in it? This juvenile elephant was just two weeks old, despite being rather big. Like every infant, this baby elephant was learning how to move her body in a natural way. In Tucson, Arizona’s Reid Park Zoo, the keepers made every effort to make the baby African elephant happy. She could play outside in a huge water pool that they had made up. This allowed her to use her trunk more effectively as well. There were many people in…
A sparrowhawk and a jacobin cuckoo were squabbling while the cuckoo was furiously battling for its life. Although it may seem odd to observe birds ғɪɢʜᴛing in this way, sparrowhawks frequently behave in a similar way. Larger species, like this black sparrowhawk spotted in Sᴏᴜᴛʜ Aғʀɪᴄᴀ, mostly consume medium-sized birds, such as pigeons, doves, and even other raptors. Before sneaking up on them and ᴋɪʟʟing them, the hawks frequently monitor their prey from a perch in a tree. As shown below, in some situations where the ғɪɢʜᴛ is more drawn out, the hawk will actually eat its prey while it…
