The removed gene controls the production of the hormone thyroxine, which fuels the metamorphosis that occurs when a tadpole transforms into a toad. Rick Shine, an evolutionary biologist and ecologist ...

Before we get onto the games, we want to qualify our methodology. Editor Kes and Staff Writers Lee, Sean, and Jamie all have some experience with any given PS4 game. We're using that knowledge ...

The best FromSoftware games double as some of the most beloved and greatest gaming experiences around. So, ranking the top cream of the Souls crop is no easy feat. FromSoftware seems pretty ...

De-extinction, the science of resurrecting extinct species, is progressing in leaps and bounds. Here are six creatures that researchers could bring back to life — and one they've already revived.

Referred to as “Peter Pan toads,” these genetically altered animals live for several months, remaining in their tadpole stage until they die before becoming breeding-able adults. Additionally, while ...

Others, like frogs, undergo changes that seem almost impossible. They hatch from eggs as tadpoles, before developing gills, lungs, and legs in short order. No matter the process, plenty of animals ...

Scientists have gene-edited a cane toad egg to prevent a hatchling growing past the tadpole stage. The gene knockout technique could be scaled up and potentially used to manage the invasive species.

Once hatched, the tadpoles will climb onto his back to be carried to a nearby pool where they’ll complete their process of maturation to become adult frogs. “The male smooth guardian frog is ...

From gestation to maturity, glass frogs are at the mercy of others. In the tadpole stage, glass frogs are predated by “frog flies,” which lay their own eggs on top of the glass frogs’.
