The University of Queensland School of Biological Sciences announced a major new discovery. The world's biggest dinosaur footprint was discovered on a 15 mile stretch of the Dampier Peninsula coastline, dubbed 'Australia's Jurassic Park', on Monday. The footprint fossil assemblage contains 21 different types of dinosaur tracks, making it one of the most diverse in the world.
Three sea turtles were released back into the wild from a beach in Samandag, in the Turkish province of Hatay, on Thursday, after undergoing treatment for injuries at a local turtle rescue centre. A Green turtle (Chelonia mydas) and two loggerhead turtles (Caretta caretta) were carried in containers to the coast, where they were then let loose and allowed to walk off and into the waves of the Mediterranean Sea.
Footage courtesy of Sea World on Australia's Gold Cost from April 27 shows the adorable moments that 16-year-old mother bear Liya cuddled up to her newborn polar bear cub twins. The infant cubs, two males called Hudson and Nelson, are still very fragile and are suckling from their mum inside the maternity den to gain strength. The little tykes weigh just over one pound and are about 5 inches long. However, they will grow to be among the largest land animals in the world. Adult male polar bears can weigh over 1,500 pounds and reach nearly 10 feet in length.
Scientists identify the first known example of fossilised brain tissue from a dinosaur, and say it resembles the brains of modern-day crocodiles and birds. Matthew Stock reports.
