Breeding your Pals in Palworld is one of the most efficient ways to improve and take on tougher Pals. Not only do you have the opportunity to create rare Fusion Pals this way, but you also get your hands on some end-game level Pals way before you could reasonably fight them in the wild. Faleris is arguably one of the toughest Pals you can fight in the game, right up there with the Legendaries, so breeding one is a much more appealing prospect than grinding to take one on in a fight. Still, you need to find a very…

There are a lot fewer similarities between Palworld and Pokémon than you would think when looking at the monster designs. Yes, you can catch and fight with Pals of different types against other Pals, but the similarities mostly end there. A major change is that Pals don’t evolve, meaning the only way to get new or stronger Pals is to catch them or breed them. Depending on which two Pals you breed, you will get a different Pal from the egg they make. While this new Pal will always be stronger, some combinations can…

There’s a lot you can do with your Pals in Palworld that you probably wouldn’t think of by looking at it. Aside from catching and battling them, you will also be putting them to work at your base, collecting resources like Paldium and Coal to give you a constant supply of materials to craft with. Unlike other monster-catching titles, Pals don’t evolve in Palworld, but instead can be bred to pass on their traits. While you could throw any two Pals in the farm to breed, so long as they are male and female, the result…

A study using a robot dinosaur named Robopteryx to mimic ancient dinosaur behaviors has provided new insights into the evolution of feathered wings. Researchers found that small, feathered proto-wings may have been used by dinosaurs to startle prey, supporting the hypothesis that such wings evolved for reasons other than flight. Credit: SciTechDaily.comNew research suggests feathered dinosaurs used proto-wings and tail feathers to flush out prey, supporting the ‘flush-pursue hypothesis’ for the evolution of bird wings and…

If you’re looking to watch sports on your fancy new Apple Vision Pro, new leaks suggest it will be like no other device out there.Starting with the PGA Tour Vision app, as spotted by Steve Troughton Smith on Mastodon, it comes with the ability to view holes in 3D, including a bird’s eye view of the entire course and the ability to track shots in real-time. It will even show you the current scoreboard and the stats of golfers playing.Perhaps most impressively, you can get a view from the green fairway, or tee box as shots…

January 25, 20243min readScientists built a robotic dinosaur to terrify grasshoppers, all in hopes of understanding how truly pathetic wings could offer prehistoric animals an evolutionary advantageBy Meghan BartelsA grasshopper flees in response to the folding movement of Robopteryx’s hypothetical proto-wing display. The grasshopper’s escape behaviour is triggered by the hypothetical flush-display executed by the robot. The white arrow in the video indicates the grasshopper’s position before the jump. This is a 960 fps…

Swarovski has turned up at CES 2024 in Las Vegas with its first ever pair of smart binoculars that will identify the bird you’re looking at. All you have to do is point the gear at a bird and make sure the view is in focus, and then press down an action button. Within a few seconds, the system will overlay a bird’s name over your view, using data pulled from the Merlin Bird ID database. That has over 9,000 species tagged, and will even let you know the degree of certainty it has if the bird in question is in an unexpected…

A team of University of Queensland scientists conducted a biodiversity survey in their Annerley share house, uncovering 1,150 unique species. This finding significantly exceeded the expected 200 species, revealing a high level of biodiversity in urban environments. The study showcased a variety of species from insects to birds and highlighted the importance of how urban homes and gardens are maintained for fostering biodiversity.
