The human capacity to learn exceeds that of any other animal. Indeed, our massive memories and impressive computing power are the engines of all that makes us different from other animals, rooted ...

Trial and error is one of the most fundamental learning strategies employed by animals, and we’re increasingly using it to teach intelligent machines too. Boosting ...

The fact that animals can use tools, have self-control and certain expectations of life can be explained with the help of a new learning model for animal behavior. Researchers have combined knowledge ...

Seaquest, a completely interactive experience for families and children of all ages, provides an opportunity to explore rain forests, deserts and oceans while interacting with some of the most magical ...

A white stork flies in Germany, where researchers tracked the birds’ migrations and concluded that they incrementally straighten their migration routes to find more direct ways to move between ...

Everybody poops. There are even whole books written about it. And we can learn a lot about animals from what they leave behind. Scientists study animal poop, also called scat, to learn about the ...
