Scientists move one step closer to explaining why Komodo dragons are so awesome
Komodo dragons are incredible animals. They're lizards, but they have a number of unique tweaks to their chemistry that gives them advantages often only seen in mammals. To figure out how these large predators arrived at their current state, researchers dove into their genes. The study, which was published in Nature Ecology & Evolution, reveals that Komodo dragons get their unique abilities thanks to specific genetic adaptations. By comparing the genome of the dragons with other similar species... Читать дальше...
