Deep in the fossil-rich hills near Outram on New Zealand’s South Island, paleontologists have uncovered something entirely unexpected: the remains of a tiny bee, preserved in volcanic mudstone for 14.6 million years. Measuring just over six millimeters in length, the fossil is the first of its kind found in Zealandia, the mostly submerged continent that includes New Zealand and its surrounding geological plate. The discovery, published in Zoosystema, was made at the Hindon Maar site, a Miocene-aged volcanic crater lake in Otago known for its exceptional preservation of ancient flora and fauna. What makes this bee significant is not only…

In the southern province of Guizhou, China, paleontologists have uncovered an extraordinary fossil that offers a rare glimpse into the deep past. The discovery, of a nearly complete skeleton stretching about 16 feet, belongs to dinocephalosaurus orientalis, a marine reptile that lived approximately 240 million years ago during the Triassic period. Its elongated, snake-like body and dramatically long neck have drawn comparisons to the legendary Chinese dragon. The specimen was found in Guizhou Province, a region known for its rich Triassic fossil deposits. While the species was first described in 2003 by a scientist named Li, this newly discovered fossil…

In the dense forests of Guinea-Bissau’s Cantanhez National Park, chimpanzees are doing something unexpected. As dusk settles and the air thickens with humidity, they come together around a particular kind of fruit—overripe, fallen, and slightly fermented. The behavior appears to be more than feeding. It resembles something strikingly familiar: a social ritual. Researchers from the Cantanhez Chimpanzee Project, a long-running field study led by anthropologists based in the United Kingdom, recently documented these scenes. Their findings, published in Current Biology, suggest that chimpanzees in this West African reserve are engaging in peaceful, voluntary gatherings centered around the consumption of alcohol-containing…
