June 10, 2023: Our weekly roundup of the latest science in the news, as well as a few fascinating articles to keep you entertained over the weekend.
First, we reported on the orange crocs of Nepal, and then, on a man's incredible escape from the jaws of death, before we swiftly moved on to the first recorded case of a crocodile"virgin birth." Maybe the croc born of this miraculous conception could live to the ripe old age of Cassius, the world’s oldest crocodile, who turned 120 years old this week.
Don't be fooled into thinking that's it from the animal kingdom — there were plenty of other stories snapping at the crocodiles' heels, like the ones about ongoing battle between human and orca, Pablo Escobar's "cocaine hippos," and the ever-impressive octopus brain. Plus, there's the perhaps unsurprising news that primates have been masturbating for at least 40 million years.
Stepping away from cosmology to the core of our own planet, scientists have drilled into an underwater mountain to collect a record-breaking chunk of Earth's mantle that's more than 3,280 feet long. Meanwhile, in Siberia, a 650,000 year-old megaslump of permafrost known as the"gateway to the underworld" is revealing secrets about our planet's ancient climate.
Picture of the week It might look like a scene from Blade Runner or another dystopian sci-fi, but this is actually the skyline of New York City on Wednesday , after wildfire smoke from Canada drifted over the city. With wildfires predicted to become more commonplace with climate change, could this alarming pollution be a sign of what's to come?
