Play Video: How lizards balance keeping their tails on and peeling them off

To get out of sticky situations, some lizards detach their tails from their bodies and scurry away. Scientists have long wondered how the bones and muscles in these tails—which help with balance and movement—can sever with ease when needed, but stay firmly in place when not. 🎥: NAVAJIT S.

And not only did we learn more about what space travel can do to the human body, we also learned how those effects might vary depending on whether or not you're a professional astronaut.

Play Video: Watch crowds of bats navigate (mostly) accident-free | Science News

The evening rush hour commute for greater mouse-tailed bats has surprisingly few midair collisions (marked in video). Starting from inside a cave where thousands of Rhinopoma microphyllum bats huddle during the day, the colony streams out a narrow exit to hunt in Israel’s Hula Valley. At the cave exit, bats fly so close that echolocation signals for detecting obstacles, each other and prey partially mask neighbors’ pings like the cacophony of a human cocktail party. As the colony streams into open air, however, bat-to-bat distance expands, and bats can hear themselves ping. Video Credit: Yossi Yovel, Eran Amichai
