The three-week-old rhino, named Hercules, was savaged by a pack of hyenas in Mpumalanga and suffered fractures, crush injuries, and several infected wounds. But after being transported to a specialist ...
Scientists reconstructed the mitochondrial genome of a European Woolly Rhinoceros for the first time. Extracting DNA from fossilized hyena feces was critical to the process. Using the DNA, the team ...
Fossilized poo never stops surprising. By analysing droppings from extinct hyenas, palaeontologists have reconstructed DNA from an ice-age woolly rhino 1. About the size of today’s white rhinos, the ...
When John Hammond cooked up the idea for Jurassic Park, he needed the skills of the world’s brightest geneticists and a little help from the fossil record. The earliest additions to the fledgling park ...
