Unlike all other mammals, seals can hear both in the air and underwater. How do they do this?
Um fóssil recém-descrito do sul da Austrália está causando impacto em nossa compreensão de onde e quando as baleias desenvolveram tamanhos corporais gigantescos.
A newly described fossil from South Australia is making waves in our understanding of where and when whales evolved titanic body sizes.
A 5-million-year-old fossil that sat collecting dust in a Melbourne museum for more than a century has rewritten the evolutionary history of turtles in prehistoric Australia’s tropical climate.
Ancient climate change doomed the monk seals that lived in Australian waters millions of years ago.
This newly discovered ancient monk seal is challenging previous theories about how and where monachine seals evolved. It’s the biggest breakthrough in seal evolution research in about 70 years.
Our new research has more than doubled the known fossil record of seals in Australia.
