Turtles maintain a remarkably low 1% cancer rate despite living over 150 years and growing to massive sizes. Their slow metabolism and unique genes may hold the key to cancer prevention in humans.
🌍 A groundbreaking genome study has revealed five genetically distinct populations of Asian elephants in India—more than previously thought! This research will help better protect these populations, which face challenges from genetic isolation. By understanding their distinct histories, we can work toward more tailored conservation efforts. 🐘

A study on the genetic history of Asian elephants in India has revealed that there are actually five genetically distinct populations in the country, more than earlier estimates. These populations were also found to have diverged from each other much earlier than previously thought, reports Arathi Menon for Mongabay India. India hosts some 30,000 Asian elephants […]
