Anguilla japonica eels can escape a predator’s stomach through the fish’s gills. Now, scientists are using X-ray videography to watch just how eels accomplish this. The findings are detailed ...

Humans' outer ears may have evolved from the gills of prehistoric fish, a new study finds. Gene-editing experiments indicate ...

Baby Japanese eels have been spotted escaping from the stomachs of fish that have eaten them by backing out tail-first, as if moonwalking, first out of their esophagus and then their gills ...

“Witnessing the eels’ desperate escape from the predator’s stomach to the gills was truly astonishing for us.” In general, it’s unclear what happens when a fish is swallowed whole by ...

It turns out that the flexible cartilage of fish gills bears a close correspondence to the cartilage in the mammalian outer ear, the visible part of the ear. To be sure, flexible cartilage ...

In a fascinating new discovery, scientists have found evidence suggesting that the flexible outer part of human ears may have evolved from the gills of ancient fish. Yes, your ears– the same ...

The outer ears that sit on the sides of your head share an unexpected genetic heritage with the gills of fish. According to research published in the journal Nature by scientists from the ...
