It may seem like a complete contradiction, but evolution can sometimes also mean involution. This is the case for two marine ...

It's not the most conventional cargo - but staff specialising in cetacean strandings are used to the unorthodox. Since 1913, scientists have been given priority access to any cetaceans (whales, ...

On December 13, scientists were able to reveal that the cetacean's upper jaw contained ... the discovery says a lot about the evolution of this species. “It's remarkable to see this and it's ...

The estimated size and mass of the specimen challenge researchers' idea that large whale evolution began roughly 5 million years ago. The newly discovered mammal reached peak body mass for cetacean ...

Prior to the current research, the most recent cetacean survey—conducted in Kaimana in 2015—had recorded 64 pods of Australian humpback dolphins and 40 pods of bottlenose dolphins (Tursiops sp ...

To expose some of these mysteries, the Museum started recording cetacean strandings in 1913. We are now a partner in the UK Cetacean Strandings Investigation Programme, which has expanded to include ...
