This anatomical and physiological limitation prevents elephants from regurgitating their food or adequately neutralising harmful substances during digestion. Consequently, when elephants consume ...
In a study published in Current Biology, researchers have revealed that Australopithecus afarensis, an ancient hominin species, exhibited a limited capacity for running. This small bipedal ancestor, ...
