Some animal species learn to recognize predators and modify their behavior to survive before they hatch

A new study indicates that they can, but only when they share the magician’s motor skills

According to the research, the most dominant primates influence the social learning biases of the rest of the group, who will alter their behavior to gain greater acceptance

It’s commonly thought that most primates aren’t able to speak because of their vocal anatomy, but we now know it’s because of neural connections

Scientists are beginning to understand human-feline communication, but there’s still a long way to go

Research on the brain lateralization of other species provides insights into their emotions

Approximately 5% of animal species have the ability to change sex throughout their lives to maximize reproductive success

Animals employ a variety of methods when it comes to mating, leading scientists to question the idea of mammals and birds remaining faithful to one partner
