The Agasthaumas was the first Ceratopsian discovered by science. Its name is derived from a Greek word meaning ‘Great wonder.’ It is also referred as to the ‘marvelous forest dweller’ (given by Cope) because of it ate leaves, sticks, and forest remains. It was preserved well within the forest cover for several years. The fossil was first discovered by Fielding Bradford Meek and Henry Martyn Bannister in the Lance formation near South Wyoming in the year 1872 when the duo was conducting a geological survey to unearth fossil shells....

Anchor worm (Lernaea cyprinacea) is a parasite living under the scales and gills of freshwater fish. Water salinity impacts the parasite’s reproduction to a great extent. Freshwater bodies are needed for them to reproduce. These parasites have a complex life cycle. After the females lay the eggs, it takes 24-36 hours to hatch. Growing up, the juveniles go through five stages. In each stage, they go through immense changes in body structure....

The bobbit worm (Eunice aphroditois) is a type of benthic bristle worm that lives in the warm marine waters of the Atlantic Ocean. Populations of this worm have also been reported in the Indo-Pacific and in other ocean and sea environments on our beloved blue planet. It’s one of the most well-known Polychaetes, and this Polychaete worm is known for its hard exoskeleton which displays a wide range of black and purple colors and bristles....

Callovosauras, or the Callovosaurus leedsi, is a species of iguanodontian dinosaurs that were mainly herbivores. Belonging to the Dryosauridae, some scientists and researchers claim that they come from a valid genus of iguanodontian dinosaurs called dryosaurid. However, if you ever do your own research on this dinosaur species, you’d be surprised to learn that that the debate for where these dinosaurs stand continues even today. Now located in the Nation Museum of London, this specimen was found in the Oxford Clay Formation and was initially described by Richard Lydekker all the way back in 1889 as a species of Camptosaurus leedsi....

Canvasbacks are the largest diving duck found in the world. These birds were named so because their back looked like a canvas with bright colors such as red and brown. In other European languages such as Spanish and French, this bird is also called the white-backed duck. In Mexico, the canvasback is known as the ‘pato coacoxtle.’ These ducks are migratory birds and move to warmer places towards the south of the North American continent during the fall and winter seasons....

The diamondback water snake (Nerodia rhombifer) or diamond-backed watersnake is a medium-sized species of large non-venomous snake in the central United States and northern Mexico. It is the most widely distributed species of snakes within its range, found on every continent except for Antarctica.Diamondback water snakes can be found in aquatic habitats such as lakes, ponds, marshes, swamps, rivers, streams, creeks, and ditches. Unlike other water snake species that lay eggs on land or near the surface of the water where they live, diamondback water snakes typically lay eggs in shallow wetlands more than 35 ft (10....

When the first holotype remains of this new species were found from the Ojo Alamo Foundation, New Mexico in 2008, scientists were ecstatic about the discovery but the specimens were not enough to study this. This was not until Sullivan, from the New Mexico Museum of Natural History and Science in Albuquerque, and Jasinski, from the State Museum of Pennsylvania, found new leads in the year 2009 combined with further excavation and skeletal reconstruction in the year 2015 and 2016, that we know of this dinosaur that belongs to the family dromaeosaurid, a group of dynamic and swift predators....

Previously grouped among the subfamily of Incurvariidae, the fairy moth of order Lepidoptera presently belongs to the Monotrysian moth family of Adelidae. At least 295 species of the family have been identified. On the other hand, the Adela croesella and Adela reaumurella, that is, the green longhorn, form the two subfamilies of the Adelidae family. Similar to the butterfly, moths undergo several stages of metamorphosis until they turn into adults. The first stage of their development is the embryonic stage when females lay eggs on plants....

The Indian python is an extensive python species which is also known as Indian rock python, Black-tailed python, Asian rock python. The species of Indian python or Python molurus had two subspecies, Python molurus pimbura which is discovered in Sri Lanka, and the Python molurus bivitatus that was treated as its subspecies till 2009, now it is recognized as an individual species of genus Python....

The long-finned pilot whale (Globicephala melas) is a species of Delphinidae from the oceanic dolphine family. This fish species shares the Globicephala genus with short-finned pilot whales (Globicephala macrorhynchus). Their scientific name was given due to their long pectoral fins, but pilot whales as a whole are named so due to the fact that one animal takes the lead in their groups, acting rather like a pilot. The genus is a combination of Latin words ‘globus’ and ‘kephale’ which mean ‘globe’ and ‘head’....

In this article, we will be learning about a fish that has the ability to retain life even in the harshest environments. The mangrove killifish (Kryptolebias marmoratus) from the mangroves of East Florida and national waters of other countries on the west coast of the Atlantic Ocean is that fish. They can easily retain life in the high temperature and salinity present in the Caribbean and Atlantic coasts. The mangrove rivulus, (Kryptolebias marmoratus) belonging to the family Rivulidae, is reportedly the only hermaphrodite vertebrates in this world (males and hermaphrodites share the same habitat)....

The nervous shark (Carcharhinus cautus) is from the family Carcharhinidae and genus Carcharhinus and is found in northern Australia, Shark Bay, Moreton Bay, Solomon Islands, and Papua New Guinea range. The habitat of this species consists of insular and continental shelves and tends to inhabit inshore waters and is found at the depth of around 148 ft (45 m). The reproduction of this requiem shark is just like other requiem sharks, that is, viviparous....

If you are looking for some tiny wonders off the coasts of the East Coast of Southeast Asia, then look no further than the seven species of the pygmy seahorse! The pygmy seahorses are tiny fish, distinguished from the dwarf seahorses because of their lack of multiple gill openings, and the presence of a single gill opening. They also have a brood pouch located in their trunks, which means they rear babies and eat from the same opening!...

Red-vented cockatoo (Cacatua haematuropygia), or the Philippine red vented cockatoo, is a member of the order Psittaciformes, and the genus Cacatua. Currently, these birds have a strong population distribution in the Philippines’ Palawan province.This bird is currently listed as a Critically Endangered species on the IUCN (International Union for Conservation of Nature) Red List because of its low population, which is estimated to be around 1,120 individuals. These birds spend most of their lives in flocks but separate in search of potential mates after which they pair up and spend the breeding period caring for the egg clutch before they are ready to leave the nest....

The Thililua, a marine reptile from the late Cretaceous period was a plesiosaur that continues to be a mystery due to the limited information discovered from their fossils. In fact, the fossil plesiosaur shows similarities to aquatic dinosaurs, but in reality, the Thililua is not in a dinosaur. The carnivore of the late cretaceous period was the very first plesiosaur to be found in Africa when paleontologists discovered the fossils of what is considered to be an adult Thililua longicollis....
