Irish paleontologists have uncovered why hundreds of fossil frogs were buried under an ancient swamp millions and millions of years ago.

New fossils found in northern China have revealed that ancient giraffes had a disk-shaped bone structure on their heads intended for head-butting opponents.

Although the Squamata is the largest order of reptiles, made up of over 10,000 different species, their evolutionary origins are not yet well understood.
