Mushrooms may be able to communicate electrically through what is known as the mycelium network. They seem to have a vocabulary of up to 50 ‘words’. When mushrooms talk. Image credit: Henk Sijgers According to new research, different mushroom species might actually talk to each other through their own languages, IFLScience reports. And they do so through trains of electricity spikes, equivalent to words, with each “language” typically having about 50 such trains. The new study published in Royal Society Open Science notes that “almost all creatures without nervous system produce spikes of electrical potential.” In fungi, this happens through…

So what if fish require water to survive? Flirting on the sand of a moonlight beach is seductive to certain pufferfish (in bursts). That isn’t the only strange thing the ocean’s famed self-inflators do. Some of the 200 or so species in the puffer family go to great lengths to court. On a few moonlight nights each year, Japanese grass pufferfish (Takifugu niphobles) congregate on Asian beaches to mate. “A gigantic ball of these pufferfish, maybe 400 fish,” says Gareth Fraser, an evolutionary developmental biologist at the University of Florida in Gainesville. Typically, he explains, the ball includes several hundred…
The unlucky lizard became entangled within a bird’s mouth, only to wiggle away, leaving its tail behind. Salah Baazizi, 46, an amateur wildlife photographer residing in Orange County but originating from Algeria, took time away from his work as a software developer to capture the stunning event. Salah filmed the horrifying scene of an Egret feasting on a lizard while watching from roughly 10 meters away at the Bolsa Chica Wildlife Conservancy in Southern California. He began seriously photographing animals seven years ago and now specializes in birds in action. “Egrets generally fish in wetlands, but on this particular sunny…
Local experts have given a rare albino turtle hatchling on the Great Barrier Reef island a poor chance of survival. A young green sea turtle making its way into the water was spotted this week on Lady Elliot Island, off the coast of Bundaberg in Queensland’s northeast. Hatchling green sea turtles often have a dark grey shell, greenish skin, and a white or pastel yellow undershell. This island’s unusual turtle has pink-white skin and a reddish-orange shell. Albinism, a hereditary illness that causes the skin, hair, and eyes to look white, affects just one in 100,000 turtles. Researchers at the…
This adorable baby tortoise appears to be in a good mood as it emerges from its egg. It was a perfect moment when this tiny tortoise poked its head out of its eggshell and appeared to grin as it saw the outside world for the first time. Alessio Caria, a photographer in Italy, was ecstatic to have witnessed such a historic occasion two weeks ago after spending several months monitoring the eggs he’d discovered in his courtyard. He learned he had unwittiпgly acqυired a pair of slow-footed tortoises after spending so much time iп the oυtdoors. Piccola Magia, which means…
Ford The new truck market is finally, gradually, returning to what it was in the early 2000s. What do we mean by that? For nearly a decade it seems like trucks have just gotten bigger, more expensive, and chocked full of premium options. Smaller trucks with lower base MSRPs have gradually become more and more tough to find. There’s ample reason for OEMs to do this: big trucks are more popular than ever, and companies make a lot of money off of them. Though, demand has started to grow again for smaller options. The Toyota Tacoma and Chevy Colorado have…
Chevrolet has debuted their much-anticipated 2019, GMT T1XX-platform Silverado, and has continued their proven recipe: offer a massive amount of trims with a massive amount of options and capture as many repeats and potentially-new customers as possible. As long as no reliability issues come up along the way, they can count on printing money with this recipe. Despite the previous generation being around for just about 5 years, there is a substantial amount of changes to warrant this new generation. With revised styling, some intuitive engine technology, an increased amount of overall technology, and fuel economy that rivals mid-2000s sedans, this is sure…
El vínculo que tienen los gemelos entre sí es inexplicable. 9 meses están inextricablemente uno al lado del otro, compartiendo el espacio mágico debajo del vientre de mamá y desarrollándose juntos.

Anthea Jackson Rashford de Australia dio a luz prematuramente, a las 29 semanas de gestación, a sus mellizos. Realmente es demasiado pronto y los riesgos…

While we have seen jellies that take on extreme looks like the giant phantom jelly, these jellyfish have evolved to look like… well, fried eggs. Fried egg or jellyfish? Image credit: Mathias Appel Fried egg jellyfish, or also known as egg-yolk jellies, are a couple of jellyfish species that resemble a fried egg. However, don’t let the similarity fool you; chewing on this Scyphozoa wouldn’t be that tasty. These jellyfish have a smooth and translucent bell with a distinctive yolk-yellow bell right in the center, hence the name fried egg jellyfish. One of the known fried egg jellyfish species is…

I’ve always admired twins for one thing – the head starts they get on human interaction. They spent nine months together in a place slightly more cramped than a New York studio apartment: their mother’s ᴡᴏᴍʙ. Even though they didn’t speak in there, they certainly became aware of each other pretty early on and learned how to avoid ɪɴꜰʀɪɴɢɪɴɢ each other’s space too much “Um. Your foot’s in my face again.” “Sorry. Let’s kick Mommy’s rib again for fun.” “OK!” The newborn girls that we see in this video are so cute while they show their connection. You can see…
