    Nature's untitled project and the default mammal: the hyrax. Often misjudged, these creatures boast hidden traits from ancient times when Africa was isolated. Known for their singing abilities, they've appeared in ancient texts as wise animals. Their communal toilets, or 'hyraceum,' serve as time machines, revealing environmental secrets from thousands of years ago. Stand up for one of Africa's most misunderstood animals: the hyrax.

    What Science Got Wrong About Prehistoric Animals

    Think humans are the only ones with complex language, deep grief, or total genius? Think again. From wild cats that impersonate monkey babies to trick their prey, to crows that pass tests meant for human toddlers, and a bird that literally sleeps while flying tens of thousands of kilometers, these creatures are playing by a completely different set of rules.

    Why Did Dogs Evolve Into Their Current Forms?

    Canids are some of the greatest predators on Earth. They have spread to almost every nook and cranny of the globe, with the exception of Antarctica and some islands. But their story is a long and complicated one. The entire lineage was close to extinction multiple times. So how did they make it? What adaptations helped them thrive across the world? And why are they quite simply the best? This is the 40 million-year story of the dog. Examining the nature of the beast. From apex predators to the planet's strangest creatures, Animalogic explores the science, behavior, and biology of the animal kingdom, one species at a time.
