A team of researchers at the Georgia Institute of Technology have zeroed in on an amphibious fish species to better understand the evolutionary pressures that molded blinking in land-dwelling ...

To understand how the freakish fish evolved the ability to blink, as well as retrieve clues on how our fishy ancestors did the same, the researchers compared the mudskipper's anatomy with those of ...

For years, the Robert Ripleys and Richard Halliburtons confidently affirmed the fact. At last the sober, scholarly Smithsonian Institution solemnly confirmed it: some fish do climb trees ...
