The 24-year-old elephant, Albert, was immediately isolated from the rest of the herd once he was suspected of having TB.

A "perfect storm" of conditions evidently led to the low oxygen conditions that killed thousands of fish.

Researchers discovered seven new species in central Texas, and named two of them after musicians who have deep connections with the state.

"As the coloration is a result of a very small amount of cattle genetics mixed in rather than a fluke like albinism or leucism, it isn't unusual that the calf is white too," park officials say.

The new frog species has fiery orange splotches around its groin area.

The spiders may be "more afraid of you than the reverse," researchers said.

These creatures are one of the largest deep-sea fish.

The new species has 24 eyes, just like other box jellyfish.

Velella velella generally stay on the surface of the ocean for the most part of their lives. They don't even "come close" to the bottom of the ocean.

Restoring animals may actually help capture and store carbon, researchers have found.

Researchers named it after former California Gov. Jerry Brown and his wife.

The spiders are already 'likely endangered.'

Captive elephants would have to be separated from their families and habitats, and end up living their lives in chains, according to PETA-India.

Scientists Dr. Pedro Castanheira and Dr. Volker Framenau of Murdoch University identified the new genus after conducting a comprehensive review of orb-weaving spiders in Australian collections.

The last documented sighting of the bird was in 1999.

It appears the mysterious behavior may have been observed since ancient times.

The rediscovery of the giant lacewing at the Fayetteville Walmart made it the first record of the species in Arkansas.

Pangolins are said to be the only mammals with scales.

The species was "hidden in plain sight" for decades.

There are about 20 million breeding pairs of penguins currently estimated to be living in the Antarctic region.

"Our study highlights a perhaps overlooked effect of species invasions," the researchers say.

'The debate on questioning the wise nature of humans is already ongoing," lead researcher Halil Ibrahimi says.

The origin of National Save The Eagles Day stemmed from a community in New Jersey.

Adélie penguins may just be added to the list of self-aware species.

One of the teeth they found was likely from a close relative of the megalodon.

The recently discovered Irish specimen is likely part of the ongoing European invasion.

By 2018, its population had already shrunk to just a fifth of its original size, mainly from exploitation for illegal collection and the destruction of its small habitat.

The toads were able to do this with the help of the hyoid cartilage.

The discovery was the result of innumerable interviews with locals and 20 camera traps.
