Scientists have solved the mystery of a prehistoric creature with a mouth and no anus.

S. coronarius had a large, round mouth with tiny holes around its perimeter. At first, scientists thought they were primitive gills. But it turned out that the pores were the bases of spikes that broke off during the formation of fossils. With these outgrowths, the creature held prey. The researchers explained the mysterious absence of the anus by the fact that the animal lost it in the course of evolution - one hole was enough for him to satisfy all his needs.

The rats drank soda for two months and became stupid.

For the experiment, the scientists divided the rats into three age groups, and each of them into two teams. In one, the rodents drank water daily, in the second - soda. After 57 days, the scientists placed the animals in the maze. The rats from teams No. 1 got out of it without any problems. Teams 2 had difficulties - the rodents coped with the task worse than usual, because their memory decreased. After that, the animals were euthanized and dissected. Most of the rats in the soda-drinking groups had brain damage of varying degrees. Areas responsible for attention, memory and learning were affected. Especially in young animals.
