Medically reviewed by Susan Bard, MDSalt water may benefit skin health and appearance. Limited research has found seawater may have an exfoliating effect on the skin, making it look and feel smoother.

Teeth recovered from a beloved zoo elephant that died in 2008 are helping University of Utah geologists develop a method for tracking the movements of large herbivores across landscapes, even for ...

Misha lived her whole life in zoos, but this elephant's teeth are now helping scientists reconstruct wildlife migrations. Geologists show how strontium isotopes found in teeth or tusks reveal where ...

The star of the study is Misha, a female elephant acquired by Salt Lake City’s Hogle Zoo in 2005. Chemically similar to calcium, strontium from the environment accumulates in highly mineralized ...
