With a top speed of just five miles per hour, Radio Flyer’s ride-on Landspeeder toy doesn’t provide much of a thrill for adults.

Endangered Right Whales Are Dying at a Terrifying Rate—Here’s How to Stop It

With only a few hundred individuals left, North Atlantic Right Whales are some of the most endangered whales in the world, and this summer, things took a turn for the worse.

This Ancient Australian Beast Is the Only Marsupial Known to Have Made Seasonal Migrations

New research shows that Diprotodon—the largest marsupial to have ever lived—partook in seasonal migrations that took the now-extinct creature on long journeys across Australia’s Ice Age landscape. Seasonal migrations are a common activity for many large-bodied placental mammals (e.g. wildebeest, elephants, buffalo), but it’s strangely absent among all living marsupials—marsupials being a subgroup of mammals…

In Wake of Relentless Hurricane Season, Wildlife is Exhausted, Disoriented and Vulnerable

Consider the plight of the Barbuda Warbler. A tiny puff of grey and gold feathers, the songbird is found only on its namesake island, where it sticks to dry, shrubby vegetation out of the way of encroaching human development.

The Next Generation of the World’s Longest-Living Trees Might Die Young

As the oldest individual organisms on the planet, Great Basin bristlecone pine trees are nothing if not resilient. But rising temperatures due to climate change are putting these trees, which can live to be over 5,000 years old, under a new and worrisome kind of pressure, according to a new study.

In the First Annihilation Trailer, Natalie Portman Seeks Out an Alien Horror

Our first look at Alex Garland’s post-Ex Machina project is finally here, and it’s looking fantastically creepy—and filled with weird new alien vistas for Natalie Portman and her team of crack scientists to explore and be fearful of (with good reason). Based on Jeff VanderMeer’s book of the same name, Annihilation follows the story of…

SNES Classic Is the Best Way to Experience Nintendo’s Golden Age—If You Can Get One

Nintendo built a legacy in the 80s and 90s, and has spent the rest of its history closely guarding that legacy. Succinctly, the thing that buoys the gaming giant through its various hardware flops isn’t the value of its intellectual property (which is vast)—it’s nostalgia. Even the most committed Nintendo fans can admit the company’s…

Scientists have incredibly advanced tools to look at the stars today, but in the era before light pollution, star-gazing was much easier and simpler for the average person—just step outside at night.
