β€˜Almost unimaginable’: these ants are different species but share a mother Ant queens of one species clone ants of another to create hybrid workers that do their bidding.

woah this is genuinely, utterly WILD

Ant queens of one species produce males of another species, so she can then mate with them and produce hybrid workers!

This is so gloriously weird I can't quite compute it 🀯πŸ§ͺ🐜

Did a single genetic mutation make horses rideable? Domestication of the horse was one of the crowning achievements of early humans. It led to advancements in transportation, warfare and agriculture, effectively galloping societies into the modern era.

Microraptorians were among the most interesting dromeosaurs. Most were small, but some like Changyuraptor got to roughly turkey sized, which is not small at all for an animal that was likely gliding/flying
