Polar Bear Fur's Natural Oil Prevents Ice Build-Up, Study Finds
Scientists have uncovered a surprising feature of polar bear fur: a natural oil that prevents ice accumulation. Unlike penguins, which rely on feather structure, polar bears benefit from a chemical composition that keeps their fur ice-free. A study published in Science Advances found that unwashed polar bear fur performed as well as high-performanc...

Wild Baboons Fail Mirror Test, Raising Questions on Animal Self-Awareness
A study found that wild baboons fail to recognise themselves in mirrors. Researchers placed mirrors near water sources in Namibia’s Tsaobis Nature Park and projected laser dots onto the baboons’ faces and bodies. While 64 percent responded to marks on visible limbs, only one out of 51 reacted to facial markings in the mirror. The findings sugge...

Small Carnivores Were Crucial for Early Levant Diets, Claims New Study
Small carnivores like red foxes and wildcats were integral to the diet of early Neolithic societies in the Levant, according to recent findings from Aḥihud, Israel.
