Dinosaurs Roamed Earth for 165 Million Years: Why Humans Have Only Scratched the Surface
Dinosaurs Roamed Earth for 165 Million Years: Why Humans Have Only Scratched the Surface Imagine a world where giant beasts with sharp teeth and long necks filled the land. These creatures, dinosaurs, walked Earth for 165 million years. That's a stretch of time so huge it dwarfs our own story. Humans? We've been around for just 300,000 years. That makes up only 0.2% of the dinosaur timeline.

An Ode to Dr. Jane Goodall
As a kid, I wore out the Disney Tarzan VHS tape. I remember relating to Jane, a young woman eager to enter the jungle, and who was the only one of her party to truly love and understand animals. I had a juvenile crush on Tarzan, and I still sometimes listen to the soundtrack.

The Dove and the Little Fairy
The Dove and the Little Fairy BY: Ubaid Across the world, the gentle dove and the olive branch are seen as symbols of peace. Once, a tiny dove sat comfortably in her little nest atop an old tree, enjoying the calm morning breeze. Suddenly, she felt uneasy. Her chest tightened, and her breathing grew shallow.

The Reclamation
The entrance gates hang askew, rust bleeding down their painted iron like wounds that never quite healed. You step through where children once ran, their ticket stubs and cotton candy dreams scattered to decades of wind. The turnstile is frozen in place, wrapped in morning glory vines that have wound through its mechanical heart.

The Last Human City Underwater
The Last Human City Underwater A Tale of Survival, Secrets, and the Future of Humanity The year was 2197, and the Earth’s surface was no longer home to humankind. Rising sea levels had swallowed entire continents, storms ripped across what was once dry land, and the old world had been lost to the waves. Humanity’s last refuge was not in the sky, nor on other planets—it was beneath the ocean itself.

Earth's Twin?
Earth's Twin? Comparing Earth to Exoplanets in the Habitable Zone For centuries, humanity has looked up at the stars and wondered: Are we alone? Beyond the poetry of curiosity, there’s a scientific underpinning to the quest — if life exists elsewhere, it most likely thrives on planets that resemble Earth. But how similar must another world be for us to call it an "Earth twin"?

Spiders, Spiders Everywhere
Every autumn, the plains of southeastern Colorado become the stage for one of nature's most curious spectacles: the Colorado tarantula trek. Often (incorrectly) referred to as a "migration," this annual event sees thousands of mature male tarantulas emerge from their burrows to embark on a solo journey to search for a mate. For observers, it is a fascinating glimpse into the lifecycle of one of North America's largest and most docile spiders, the Oklahoma brown tarantula and its close relatives, the Colorado brown tarantula.

Why I Refused to Raise My Kids in a Plastic Filled World
It’s two in the morning. The house is quiet except for the creak of my rocking chair. I’m in the nursery, breastfeeding my newborn. His tiny fingers are wrapped around mine. The smell of baby lotion is in the air. On the floor are plastic wrappers from nursing pads, wipes, and packaged baby products. Sitting there, with his warm little body against my chest, it hit me. I am raising the future while polluting his future.

The Mighty Panda: China’s Gentle Giant
The Mighty Panda: China’s Gentle Giant BY: ubaid Dear children, you must have seen in documentaries a big, round, cuddly animal that looks a little like a bear—rolling on the ground, chewing bamboo leaves, and walking slowly. That is none other than the panda, one of the most fascinating animals in the world. With its plump body and adorable looks, the panda is often called the Mighty Panda. Scientists consider it a special member of the bear family, so it is sometimes called the panda bear. In fact, brown bears, black bears, and polar bears are regarded as close cousins of the panda.
