Scientists Discover The Biggest Animal Species That Can Regrow Its Own Limbs

Description

Scientists have discovered the largest species that has the ability to regrow limbs. According to Business Insider, it's the alligator. Like lizards, young American gators can regrow their tails up to 9 inches. Prof. Kenro Kusumi is a co-senior study author and the director of Arizona State University's School of Life Sciences. Kusumi began studying gator regrowth after receiving a package in the mail that contained a deformed alligator tail in a pickle jar with ethanol. The tail was discolored, forked, and the scales were smaller than normal. Kusumi realized that the tail looked like it had been regrown.

  • Researchers Discover New Whale Species

    Scientists working off the western coast of Mexico say they have discovered a new species of whale. According to CNN, the whales the researchers have discovered have been previously unknown. Three beaked whales were spotted in November by a team of scientists working near the San Benito Islands. Researchers initially set out to find out what kind of whales were making an unidentified acoustic signal. What they found were whales that had never been before and a sound has never been recorded before. The whales' physical characteristics suggest this is a new species, according to the team.

  • Hiding In Plain Sight? Scientists Discover Body Part No One Knew Existed

    The late, great French biologist Louis Pasteur once said, 'Chance favors the prepared mind.' A group of Dutch cancer scientists says they've discovered a pair of salivary glands that absolutely no one had ever noticed before. CNN reports the glands are hidden away in the skull, where the nasal cavity and the throat meet. The cancer researchers first came across the body part during a scan designed to look for tumorous growths. The 'unknown entity' cannot be seen on X-rays, or in ultrasound, MRI scans, or PET scans. Rather, the glands can only be seen in a new, highly advanced type of scan called PSMA PET/CT The scientists, from the Netherlands Cancer Institute, propose naming them 'tubarial glands.'
