In the Journal of Threatened Taxa, two scientists describe five instances where elephant calves have been found buried in a legs-upright position within irrigation trenches of tea plantations in northern Bengal, India. The authors argue that the unusual positioning, the surrounding ground being compacted by several elephants and injuries suggestive of dragging after death, all point to intentional burial practices. This could indicate an understanding of death and grief potentially unlike anything else we’ve seen in the animal kingdom.

As darkness envelops millions of people during Monday’s total solar eclipse, spectators will hold their cellphones skyward to capture the moment. But could the surge in cell usage cause networks to go dark? The path of totality — where it’s possible to see the moon completely block the sun’s face — will draw thousands of tourists to states from Texas to Maine. The eclipse itself has no effect on wireless networks.
