Study: Megalodon's body shape was closer to a lemon shark

Megalodon may have had a slender body shape and was likely warm-blooded, challenging previous assumptions about its anatomy and behavior.

Mystery behind extinction of large animals 50,000 years ago is SOLVED

Humans, not climate change, likely caused the extinction of 'megaherbivores' like woolly mammoths.

Fossils Show Giant Predatory Sea Scorpions Were Distance Swimmers

Ancient sea scorpions, known as eurypterids, served as apex predators over 400 million years ago and could travel across oceans.

Kangaroo species went extinct in the Pleistocene. Research hops in with a possible explanation.

Human arrival in Australia likely played a significant role in kangaroo extinction over climate changes.
