Researchers have uncovered genetic elements that drive the rapid development of marsupials' facial features. Subscribe to our ...

Around 100 million years ago, a remarkable evolutionary shift allowed placental mammals to diversify and conquer many cold regions of our planet. New research shows that the typical mammalian heater ...

The Tremembé Formation itself is the only fossil-rich unit in Brazil from the Late Oligocene that preserves mammal remains.

Shoot for the moon. Even if you miss, you'll land on the next tree. Many groups of mammals seem to have taken this evolutionary advice to heart. According to our newly published paper in Science ...

A wombat-like creature, the size of a black bear and weighing 330 pounds, roamed the earth some 25 million years ago, scientists have discovered. A team led by researchers from the University of ...

Once thought as the least evolved of the mammals that roam our world, new research shows that marsupial evolution might actually be further along than even humans. This old bias towards the creatures ...

The marsupial mole, an elusive creature that swims through the sands of remote Australian deserts, seems to have suffered an abrupt population crash about 70,000 years ago, possibly due to climate ...

The distinctive colored fur of two of Australia's rarest marsupials could be caused by "broken" pigment genes, new research ...

Behavioral Ecology and Sociobiology, Vol. 68, No. 7 (July 2014), pp. 1085-1096 (12 pages) Offspring sex ratios in mammals vary in potentially adaptive yet unpredictable ways. An integrative approach ...

Kangaroos, koalas and other marsupials are even weirder than we give them credit for. When you purchase through links on our site, we may earn an affiliate commission. Here’s how it works. Mammals ...

Paleontologists made a recent discovery that'll shed light on what type of animals roamed the Earth millions of years ago. Fossilized remains of ancient near-marsupials were reportedly found at Big ...
