A North American river otter (Lontra canadensis) was recently spotted along New York City’s Bronx River for the first time in roughly 100 years. Now, the Bronx River Alliance and Bronx Zoo would like the public’s help to choose a name for this symbol of conservation success. Voters can choose from three names—Nessie, Ruthie, and

Thanks to some powerful lasers, a fleet of ancient ships hidden in plain sight for over 40 years has resurfaced inside a Bronze Age temple in Cyprus. However, it’s understandable why archaeologists overlooked them for decades. As researchers explain in a recent study published in the International Journal of Nautical Archaeology, high-resolution laser scans revealed

A single-engine prop Cessna Caravan has reportedly become the first airplane to autonomously complete a cross-continental flight across the United States. Overseen by the aeronautics company Joby, the retrofitted aircraft began its challenge in Concord, California, on September 7, ultimately traveling 3,199 miles with no assistance from its onboard human safety pilot. However, the plane
