Glassfrogs can render themselves nearly invisible while they sleep with a unique trick; they pack nearly 90% of their red blood into one of their organs. When a glassfrog falls asleep, it vanishes. Nestled atop a lush leaf, the frog’s bright green back blends right in, while its underbelly’s reddish hue quickly grows transparent. Now, a new study in the journal Science(opens in new tab) reveals that the northern glassfrog (Hyalinobatrachium fleischmanni) pulls off this feat by removing almost 90% of its red blood cells from circulation and packing them into its liver. The findings reveal how one of the only transparent land animals…

A mysterious giant UFO-like object has washed up on a beach in South Carolina, baffling locals. The large cylindrical object, described as having a “soft and soapy” exterior was found by the Lowcountry Marine Mammal Network. Lauren Rust, executive director of the Lowcountry Marine Mammal Network, was among the first to witness. “There’s no metal on it. It’s all foam,” she told The Post and Courier, before posting the image on Facebook in hopes someone could identify it. They removed the object away without answering any questions and its current whereabouts are unknown which of course has led to speculation…

The Great Arcturians are known as the smartest beings in our universe. They are so smart that their ships are on a whole other level than what we can even imagine. They are so evolved both technologically and physically that they can easily transcend from the 4th and 5th dimension all the way back to the 3rd with relative ease, making them the strongest beings we’ve ever encountered. Luckily, however, the Arcturians are not violent beings, quite the contrary. All that they wish from humanity is that we transcend with them, that we allow our consciousness to evolve past its…

Humans think that we are the only intelligent species that have ever existed on this planet. A very recent discovery appears to be in conflict with this. This find appears to be connected to the recently discovered mummies in Peru. It may serve as the conclusive evidence for alien life. Recently, an exceptionally peculiar skull was found in Africa. He was interred quite deeply. The skull’s form resembles that of an intelligent entity. However, this prehistoric skull is not at all like a human skull. The finding of this prehistoric skull has generated a heated debate among experts. This ancient…

Although we haven’t been there, there’s a lot we know about Earth’s core. From the study of seismology – measurements of sound waves travelling through Earth (in some cases from nuclear test explosions) – we can tell that the core is molten. Plus, from our knowledge of the abundance of elements in the Universe and how they behave, we think it’s made mainly of iron under huge amounts of pressure. All this indicates its temperature is about 6,000°C, similar to the temperature of the Sun’s surface. And Earth’s core is only 3,000km from its surface – if the Sun were…

Beavers are renowned for building dams, which the animals construct from trees and branches they cut using their strong front teeth, according to the National Park Service(opens in new tab). The rodents also use grass, rocks and mud to reinforce these structures. But why do American beavers (Castor canadensis) build dams? Do they live in them? Put simply, beavers build dams to stay safe, which is particularly challenging considering their awkward body shape and ungainly nature. “Beavers are 40-to-80-pound [18-to-36 kilogram] smelly bags of meat with really short legs. That makes these large rodents easy prey. “When beavers are on the…

A seaside town’s New Year fireworks were cancelled on the advice of wildlife experts due to the presence of a wandering walrus. It is believed that the mammal, who has come to be known as Thor, popped up in Scarborough in North Yorkshire on Friday afternoon. The Arctic walrus is widely believed to be taking a break during a journey north. He was previously spotted on the Hampshire coastline last month amid sightings as far away as Brittany in France. Scarborough Borough Council cancelled the town’s New Year’s Eve fireworks display on the advice of British Divers Marine Life Rescue. Its experts had expressed…

Eternals actor Richard Madden was reportedly rejected for the starring role in Ridley Scott’s Gladiator 2 , which has now been filled. Back in 2000, Gladiator had a game-changing impact on Russell Crowe’s career, landing him a Best Actor Oscar and sending him to the top of every leading man hunt going on in Hollywood. But beyond just the acclaim for Crowe’s own performances, the Ridley Scott flick itself took home the year’s Best Picture prize. Over two decades later and years into the age of legacy sequels, especially following the success of Top Gun: Maverick, Scott is finally setting the course for his long-discussed and rumored Gladiator sequel. Recent reports…

The success of Avatar: The Way of Water has made James Cameron even richer and advanced him further among the highest-grossing directors of all time. Just months ago, some audiences claimed nobody cared about Avatar and haven’t since the original debuted in 2009. While it certainly may have felt that way, it’s become very clear the world has not gotten over Cameron’s sci-fi epic. Amazingly, for the second Avatar movie to even make a profit in theaters, it had to earn approximately over $1.4 billion worldwide. Somehow, the movie has now blown past that total in less than a month, overtaking Top Gun: Maverick as the most successful cinematic…

A release date and bonus features for Black Panther: Wakanda Forever’s Blu-ray were revealed. There’s no question that the sequel to 2018’s Black Panther was always going to be a challenge. But following the loss of Chadwick Boseman, Black Panther 2 became a different kind of undertaking and one that needed to be both a tribute and a means for the franchise to move forward.

Previous reports have claimed Cox’s Daredevil will be on the search for Ritter’s Jessica Jones in Echo, setting her up to return in Born Again. However, the latest rumors may have put…

A new approach to finding alien life proposes that aliens can breathe hydrogen. So it is possible that we will soon discover gases that are linked to terrestrial life in the atmosphere of an exoplanet. A study published in Nature Astronomy reveals that the best chance to find life using atmospheres is to expand the search further to include planets with hydrogen atmospheres. Aliens could breathe hydrogenWhen studying the atmosphere of an exoplanet , one mainly looks at the amount of light that enters it as it passes by its star. How much is absorbed and how much is lost in transit is determined by looking at the…

Russian “expert” Valetin Degterev published on social media what he found in Antarctica while using Google Earth. This is a shot of the black spot, which it claims that it was a UFO, who are stuck in ice after an accident three years ago. “In the endless ice desert is the most original UFO in the most classic form,” said the Russian. Scott C Waring, who is a conspiracy theorist, claimed that he discovered this UFO disc using Google Earth. He also shared the coordinates (74°35’37.57″S 164°54’28.90″E) in which this disc can be found. The self-professed UFO specialist claims the object could be a…

The picture of a sheep showing gratitude to a dog that has just saved its entire flock from a wolf attack has recently gone viral on social media. But hey, what breed of dog is capable of doing that? Viral image of a sheep comforting a Kangal after it protected their herd from wolves. Image credits: Reddit Wolves, the largest canine species, are considered to be the apex predators of their natural habitats, whether in Eurasia or North-America. With no natural enemies, they prey on most mammals without hesitation, and livestock is no exception. However, they do have some domestic enemies.…

We’re one step closer to understanding the mysterious atmospheric light show called STEVE. Short for Strong Thermal Emission Velocity Enhancement, STEVE is an unusual type of sky glow that appears closer to the equator than auroras. Unlike the shimmery green ribbons that make up the northern lights, STEVE consists of a mauve band of light that stretches east to west, sometimes accompanied by a row of vertical green stripes called the picket fence. Analysis of celestial photos and satellite data reveals that heated atmospheric particles produce STEVE’s mauve ribbon, while electron showers from space create the picket fence, researchers report…

Local people refer to it as Api Biru (Blue Fire), and the mountain really comes up to its name: the blue flames that burn in its crater can be up to five meters (16 feet) high. The blue fire of Mt. Ijen. Photo: Thomas Fuhrmann But it’s not only flames… Sometimes Indonesia’s Kawah Ijen volcano emits blue ‘lava’ too. Wait, blue lava? Yupp, since the mountain has extreme amounts of sulfuric gases that can reach temperatures of more than 1,000 degrees Fahrenheit and combust as they seep through the cracks and come in contact with air. The gases sometimes condense into…

The wolffish has the face only a mother could love, but it’s surprisingly affectionate. And it produces antifreeze. The only thing the Atlantic wolffish (Anarhichas lupus) has common with wolves is that it has sharp teeth and a strong jaw to help it rip apart its prey. Its teeth are so prominent, in fact, that some even poke out of its mouth, giving it an appearance that is creepy and funny at the same time – at least by human standards. But those enormous chompers have a purpose. The fish uses them to dig into the sediment on the ocean floor for…

Photographs released from a Tanzanian wildlife area show a leopard cub suckling on a lioness. Yes, you have read that right. The photographs were taken by a guest at a lodge in the Ngorongoro Conservation Area, a United Nations World Heritage site, back in 2017. (Since then another instance of a lioness nursing a leopard cub has been observed, which you can read about below) Ingela Jansson, head of the KopeLion conservation group, told Associated Press that the lactating lion may have lost her own cubs and so was open to feeding the leopard cub. The leopard, meanwhile, appeared to have lost its…

South American mummies were brutally murdered, according to scientific “detective work.” The Marburg male mummy – macroscopic views of the whole mummy. How often did prehistoric human societies engage in violence? Investigating the presence of trauma in early human remains is one way to assess this. For instance, a recent analysis of pre-Columbian remains revealed that 21% of the men had signs of violence-related trauma. The majority of research of this kind has currently concentrated on skulls and other parts of the skeleton, but mummies, with their preserved soft tissues, could be a richer source of information. In a recent…
