- NOVA | Portrait of Australia's unique evolutionary history.
Why did Australia get a preponderance of pouched and egg-laying mammals? And, at the same time, precious few of the kind of mammal that dominates every other land in the world?
Today no monotremes exist outside of Australia (and New Guinea), and no placental mammals that didn't fly or swim there—for example, bats or dugongs—exist in Australia except for rodents (which arrived only about five million years ago) and mammals that were introduced by people (who arrived by 60,000 years ago).

- BBC NEWS - Unknown creatures found in cave
Eight previously unknown invertebrate creatures have been discovered in a cave in central Israel. The largest is a white shrimp-like crustacean. Another resembles a species of scorpion and is blind. The cave, near the city of Ramle, contains a lake and was uncovered during drilling at a quarry. Scientists say it is a unique ecosystem that has been sealed off from the rest of the world for five million years and could contain other ancient lifeforms.
