Wildlife populations around the world continue dropping precipitously, according to an important but limited and often misinterpreted assessment that's issued every two years.

Two previously undiscovered mole species, believed to have been around for 3 million years, have been identified in eastern Türkiye.

In a joint study conducted by Ondokuz Mayıs University in Türkiye, Indiana University in the U.S. and Plymouth University in the U.K., the new species were confirmed using DNA technology.

Dolphins have always attracted attention with their playfulness and intelligence, and they are the subject of intense scientific research. Now, there is a whole centre dedicated to the marine mammals on the Slovenian coast.

The new Environment Minister has caused a storm by advocating a return to bear hunting as the best way to regulate the burgeoning population of these sometimes dangerous mammals.

Over 5,500 species of birds, mammals, reptiles and amphibians are subject to legal and illegal trade around the world. This represents 18% of the vertebrate species of the earth.

Almost 600 plant species have disappeared from the wild over the past 250 years. This shows a new study quoted by the BBC. The number of lost plants is based on genuinely extinct species, not assumptions, and is twice as large as all bird species, mammals and fish taken together.

Scientists say the plants are dying up to 500 times faster than what would be expected naturally.

According to new research, unicorn-like mammals roamed the earth with humans.
New research published in the American Journal of Applied Science by at team at Tomsk State University claims that unicorns were real and once trotting across our Earth alongside humans. They just looked a bit different than fairy tales have let on.

Deprived of oxygen, naked mole-rats can survive by metabolizing fructose just as plants do, researchers report this week in the journal Science.

Understanding how the animals do this could lead to treatments for patients suffering crises of oxygen deprivation, as in heart attacks and strokes.

A rhino fossil nearly 10 tons in weight and give meters in height has been found in Çorum’s Sungurlu district. The fossil dates back 23 to 27 million years and comes from the biggest known land mammal
