Paleontologists found a small theropod dinosaur skull right on top of a nest of eggs that were believed to belong to a plant-eating dinosaur. Instead of being the nest robbers that they were originally thought to be, raptors like this...

Fossil evidence suggests Diictodon used burrows to breed, and that a parent stayed behind to feed and protect their young. And the parent that stayed behind? It might’ve been the male.

When you think of milk, you might think of mammals like humans and cows, but there are other species that give food to their young, in their own weird ways.

Sometimes the males and females of a species can look really different from each other. This is pretty common in animals (think peacocks), but there are some plant species out there with extreme sexual dimorphism! And now scientists...

Have you ever noticed that some animal babies, like baby deer, can walk around basically right after they're born, but other animal babies, like kittens, can't even open their eyes? There’s a reason for that, and it comes down to two...

Let's talk about some of the awesome single dads out there in the animal kingdom!

Paul Andersen explains the differences between an r and a K selected species. He starts with a brief description of population growth noting the importance of; r or growth rate, N or number of individuals in the population, and K the...

In this video Paul Andersen explains how population ecology studies the density, distribution, size, sex ration, and age structure of populations. Intrinsic growth rate and exponential growth calculations are included along with a...

Growth and development stages in safari animals are vital for their survival and adaptation. These stages involve transformations from birth to adulthood, with unique adaptations for vulnerable newborns. Lion cubs rely on their...

Explore the fascinating life of the American burying beetle, known for its unique role as nature's gravedigger. Learn about its remarkable behaviors, including burying carcasses to nourish its young, and its vital ecological function in...

Learn how parental care is displayed by animals in their environment and how different species show parental care in different ways. As part of the GCSE / K12 Ecology topic from The Fuse School.

Some animals have special behaviour with regards to rearing their young because they display parental care. This is where parents care for their young offspring which can include food and shelter or teaching their young how to survive....

We touched upon sexual selection when we learned about natural selection. Essentially when there is a variance in the reproductive success of a particular sex for a given species, secondary sex characteristics will develop in that...
