Michigan Lake Sturgeon May Live 400 Years — Oldest Vertebrate in North America

A new Michigan State University study suggests lake sturgeon in the Great Lakes may live between 200 and 400 years — dramatically revising what scientists thought they knew about sturgeon lifespan and raising the possibility these fish are North America's longest-lived vertebrates.

Colombia’s Three Colliding Tectonic Plates Made the Chocó Quake Inevitable

A magnitude 7.4 earthquake killed at least 169–280 people in Chocó, Colombia — and geologists say the science behind it was inevitable. Colombia sits where the Nazca, South American, and Caribbean plates all converge, creating one of the Western Hemisphere's most dangerous seismic zones. James Loftus - August 17, 2026
