Meet the “Hell Ant”: Oldest Ant Fossil Ever Found from Dinosaur Times

Mitali k

Scientists discovered a very old fossil of a strange ant called a “hell ant” that lived about 113 million years ago, during the time of the dinosaurs. This is the oldest ant fossil ever found! The fossil was found at the Museum of Zoology of the University of Sao Paulo in Brazil and was preserved in rock called limestone. These hell ants had scary-looking jaws shaped like scythes (curved blades) that they probably used to catch and hold their prey. This type of ant is different from ants we see today. They lived a long time ago and were spread across many parts of the world, including Brazil, France, and Myanmar.

Have Scientists Discovered Life Beyond Our Solar System?

Mitali k

For the first time, scientists have found the strongest signs that there might be life on a planet outside our solar system. There is a planet far, far away—124 light-years from Earth—called K2-18b, which is twice the size of the Earth. Scientists from the University of Cambridge looked at this exoplanet using the super-powerful James Webb Space Telescope and they just found something really exciting!

They have found possible evidence that this faraway planet orbiting another star may be home to life. The telescope spotted special chemicals on this exoplanet that are only made by living things here on Earth.

This means that either there is life on K2-18b or that these special chemicals were produced in another way that we do not know about. But, before we get too excited, scientists say we need more proof. A study detailing the findings was published in The Astrophysical Journal Letters.

UNESCO Honours India’s Ancient Texts

Mitali k

Two very important ancient Indian books—the Bhagavad Gita and Bharata’s Natyashastra—have been added to a special list by the The United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (“UNESCO”) called the Memory of the World Register. This list keeps and protects important documents that have helped shape history and culture all around the world. Prime Minister Narendra Modi said this is a proud moment for every Indian because it shows the world how important and valuable India’s culture and wisdom are. These books have inspired people for centuries and now the whole world recognises their importance. With the latest additions, the Memory of the Register now contains 570 entries.

What is UNESCO’s Memory of the World Register?

UNESCO’s Memory of the World Register is a global initiative that was launched in 1992 with the aim of “guarding against the collective amnesia, calling upon the preservation of the valuable archive holdings and library collections all over the world, and ensuring their wide dissemination”.

Fun Fact: India now has 13 entries on this Register.

What Are These Ancient Texts?

Bhagavad Gita: It’s a famous conversation between Lord Krishna and the warrior Arjuna. It talks about life, duty, and how to live wisely. Many people see it as a guide for spiritual and moral lessons.

Natyashastra: Written by an ancient sage named Bharat Muni, this book is like the “rulebook” for Indian performing arts like dance, music, and theatre. It has been the foundation for these arts for thousands of years!

India to welcome 8 Cheetahs from Botswana

Mitali k

India is bringing 8 cheetahs all the way from Botswana, a country in Africa, as a part of its ongoing Project Cheetah initiative. The translocation will take place in two phases, with four cheetahs expected to arrive by May 2025 and the remaining four in the subsequent months. Cheetahs disappeared from India many years ago, and now the government wants to bring them back to help protect and grow their population. The cheetahs coming from Botswana will be settled at the Gandhi Sagar Wildlife Sanctuary in Madhya Pradesh. Most of the cheetahs that were brought to India from Africa under this initiative are currently living in the Kuno National Park, also in Madhya Pradesh. The Gandhi Sagar Wildlife Sanctuary will become a second home for these big cats. In fact, two African cheetahs were recently released into the Gandhi Sagar Wildlife Sanctuary.

What is Project Cheetah?

Project Cheetah is a big plan started by India to reintroduce cheetahs back into the country after they went extinct here about 70 years ago. The last Indian cheetah was seen in the 1950s, and since then, there have been none left in the wild.

To fix this, India brought cheetahs from Africa (countries like Namibia and South Africa) and released them into special protected areas. The first group of eight cheetahs arrived in September 2022, and more have come since then. The goal of Project Cheetah is to help cheetahs live and grow in India again, so they can be part of the wild and help keep nature balanced.

Did you know?

Currently, there are 29 cheetahs at the Kuno National Park. Eight adult cheetahs and five cubs have died since the project began.
