Palaeontologists wrote in a paper published in the journal Science that the teeth of Duckbilled Dinosaurs were better adapted to grind and chew tough leaves and shoots than the molars of horses, buffaloes, elephants, and other herbivorous mammals, which casts doubt on the theories concerning the uniqueness of the teeth of warm-blooded animals.

In a paper published in the journal Science, biologists wrote that the tendrils of cucumbers have the ability to entwine and attach themselves to the branches of trees, to “jump” towards warm spots by “springing” special fibres in their cells, flexing their antennae into a spiral to “dry out”, subsequently leading to the compression of these cells.
