10. Finally, a lizard of another color.

Scientists introduced the first gene-edited reptile, a nearly transparent Anolis lizard. Scientists have been altering genes of other animals for quite some time, but reptiles remained elusive. The success of the albino lizard could open doors to combating pathogens and environmental threats to reptiles, and further study of their evolution.

If you’re more of a shark person, you can watch a great white shark hunting through a kelp forest for its next meal (and maybe even feel like one, too — the camera is attached to the shark’s dorsal fin). The video collected by researchers revealed a surprising hunting behavior that had never been documented in sharks.

Happy exploring this weekend.
