Chinese authorities have launched an investigation into the alleged sighting of two Bigfoot-like creatures in the Shennongjia Nature Preserve in central China's Hubei Province. Four tourists reported making the sighting along the Licha River on the northern side of Laojun Mountain in the afternoon on November 18.

What's an 18-foot ocean dwelling minke whale doing 1,000 miles from the ocean and stuck on a sandbar in the Tapajos River, a tributary of the Amazon? Brazilian scientists are working to return the 12-ton animal to the ocean, but the question remains: What would make a fully grown whale take such a monumentally wrong turn? Could this be a male minke whale?

Fossil finds have been made at the foot of the Caucasus Mountains at Dmanisi in Georgia that may be changing beliefs regarding the "Out of Africa" distribution of mankind. Partial skeletons of 1.77 million-years-old hominids have been unearthed, skeletons that show a primitive brain and longer, more human-like legs. Is "Dmanisi man" an intermediate link between ape-like Homo habilis and more human-like Homo erectus? Meanwhile, Are the 2.04 Million-Year-Old Wushan Fossils the Oldest Hominin from China? Also, Hobbits Foe Teuku Jacob Has Died.
