Three-metre giant oarfish, palace messenger' of doom, washes up on Tasmanian beach

When I got to it, I saw this massive fish, then I noticed the beautiful colours, and it had these long fans coming out of its chin and the top of its head, he said. I'd never seen anything like it.

AI Uncovers Oldest-Ever Molecular Evidence of Photosynthesis

While much of the history of life on Earth is written, the opening chapters are murky at best. On our ever-changing world, the older a rock is, the more it has changed, obscuring or even erasing evidence of ancient life. Beyond a hazy boundary of circa two billion years, in fact, this interference is so total that no pristine, unaltered Earth rocks are known to exist, making any potential sign of biology as clear as mud. At least until now.

So they searched through past studies for modern examples of primates smooching, defined rather unromantically as non-agonistic interaction involving directed, intraspecific, oral-oral contact with some movement of the lips/mouthparts and no food transfer. They found that just like humans, great apes kiss for a variety of reasons, from conveying sexual desire to indicating friendly, affectionate feelings.
