The Eggless Chick

People know that ( almost ) all mammals give birth to live young and that birds, reptiles, amphibians, and fish lay eggs. Check out this story of a chick being born alive. The egg was incubated inside the hen until it hatched. The chick was OK, but the hen died from internal wounds.

Tiny chameleons

In Madagascar some scientists found tiny chameleons. They're the smallest vertebrates with complex eyes on Earth! Being small means finding a good hiding spot and not needing big meals.

The chameleons do not move around when they sleep. It's so easy to pick them up in the night because they are not moving!

Archaeopteryx feathers

Paleontologists found a well-preserved feather of an archaeopteryx. When they examined it closely, they saw that the feather was black. So now they think that archaeopteryx's neck feathers were black. (AFP Photo)

Sharks First

Did you know that dinosaurs were the second big creatures to live on earth? The sharks were the first ones. After the fish appeared, the sharks appeared, but no dinosaurs yet.

New species

Scientists discovered new species of sea creatures living in deep-sea trenches in the Antarctic ocean. Here are some of the animals: ghost octopus, barnacles, anemones, and yeti crabs.

The ghost octopus is my favorite. (Photo from LiveScience)
