Dave Schuit, a beekeeper who produces honey in Elmwood, Canada, claims that since GMO corn was planted in the nearby area, his farm has lost around 37 million bees (approximately 600 hives). According to reports, Schuit and other local beekeepers believe neonicotinoids, or “neonics” are to blame for the influx of bee deaths

As we go about our daily lives, it’s easy to forget that the places we find ourselves weren’t always the way they are now. While people driving down Highway 163 in Utah’s Monument Valley may be awestruck by the towering red rocks, they may not think about what those rocks signify — the floor of an ancient ocean. In some places, history is simply hidden by the passage of time.

A 70 million-year-old fossil unearthed in Transylvania is a newfound species of freshwater turtle that likely survived the extinction event that wiped out the nonavian dinosaurs.

Staff at the Farm Animal Sanctuary, in the Littletons just outside Evesham, said that around 30 hounds belonging to the North Cotswold Hunt entered their premises last Monday (February 28).

Owner of the sanctuary, Jan Taylor, said the dogs ran through a field containing recently-rescued pregnant ewes and then a field with two elderly horses, one of which was recovering from a recent surgery.

The pack continued into a neighbouring field with ewes and young lambs, which “panicked and scattered”.

When European colonists first brought cattle and horses to Australia in the late 1700s, they learned a foul-smelling lesson about how useful certain species of beetles could be. As the hoofed animals ate and defecated, manure began piling up across the continent. Without any European dung beetles to break it down, the cow dung in Australia had nowhere to go.

The specimen shows that modern tuatara found in New Zealand are little changed from ancestors that lived 190 million years ago.

More than 12,000 years ago, South America was teeming with an astonishing array of ice age beasts — giant ground sloths the size of a car, elephantine herbivores and a deerlike animal with an elongated snout.

These extinct giants are among many animals immortalized in an 8-mile-long (13-kilometer-long) frieze of rock paintings at Serranía de la Lindosa in the Colombian Amazon rainforest — art created by some of the earliest humans to live in the region, according to a new study.

In case 2022 didn’t have enough terrible omens already, an ancient legend from Japanese culture has reared its dreaded head. The Sessho-seki killing stone, said to seal the spirit of a vengeful demon from the outside world, has split in half.

When California declared the San Bernardino kangaroo rat an endangered species recently, conservationists rejoiced. The state designation seemed to promise stronger protections for the tiny, seed-munching rodent.
