For years we've barely even talked about the human clitoris let alone the fact that snakes have TWO.  This program has adult themes.

A Japanese researcher has told a major genetics conference that he has created eggs from the cells of male mice. The research, still in its early stages, involved turning male XY sex chromosomes into female XX ones.

An ancient three-dimensional star-shaped 'thing' still baffles scientists more than a century after its discovery.

The possibility that communication networks of fungi exist connecting forest ecosystems in a 'wood-wide web' has increasingly gained attention among researchers in recent decades.

If you think you have trouble telling when someone's into you, just be grateful you're not a giraffe.

Researchers in North Carolina have developed software that can determine the best place to rebuild oyster habitats, in an effort to rejuvenate the marine population.

Some species of carnivorous pitcher plant, Nepenthes, have switched from capturing and digesting insects to absorbing animal poop for their daily dose of nutrients – and it's a switch that's proving very beneficial.

But they have some very compelling theories

Two pairs of academics are making the case for using insects as a food source in Perspectives pieces published in the journal Science. The first pair, Arup Kumar Hazarika and Unmilan Kalita, with Cotton University and Barnagar College, respectively, both in India, argue that a strong case can be made for using insects to meet the growing need for food around the world in the coming years.

You might be wondering: why was anyone looking for a snake clitoris in the first place? The short answer is that, well, men aren't great at finding clitorises in general, so of course the male-dominated science fields wouldn't even know where to start looking for one on a snake.

Many microscopy techniques have won Nobel Prizes over the years. Advancements like cryo-ET that allow scientists to see the individual atoms of cells can reveal their biological functions.

Cloaked by the shadows of enchanting Asian woodlands, strange growths can be seen peeking out from between leaf litter like the ghosts of long-dead flowers.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Now you see them, now you don’t. Some frogs found in South and Central America have the rare ability to turn on and off their nearly transparent appearance, researchers report Thursday in the journal Science .

Scott Kemp first saw glow-in-the-dark millipedes in the Illawarra 18 years ago, but he had no idea he was making a significant scientific discovery.

Charles Darwin believed evolution created "endless forms most beautiful".

A team of researchers affiliated with multiple institutions in China, working with a colleague in the U.S., has isolated a type of bacteria in the guts of mice that break down nicotine. In their paper published in the journal Nature, the group describes how they isolated the bacteria and why their finding could reduce incidences of fatty liver disease in humans.

A new study by University of Maryland entomologists shows that the lifespan for individual honey bees kept in a controlled, laboratory environment is 50% shorter than it was in the 1970s. When scientists modeled the effect of today's shorter lifespans, the results corresponded with the increased colony loss and reduced honey production trends seen by U.S. beekeepers in recent decades.

Bloody hell! That cockatoo just opened my bin, and it's eating my leftover pizza. We can't have that, I'll put a rock on the lid to stop it opening the bin. Problem solved…? And so began an arms race in the suburbs of southern Sydney: humans trying to deter sulfur-crested cockatoos from opening curbside bins, and cockatoos overcoming their deterrents to feast on our food waste.
