Like modern-day ruminants, giant plant-eating dinosaurs likely had microbes in their guts that gave off large amounts of methane—a potent greenhouse gas even more effective at trapping heat than carbon dioxide.
Squalamine, a newly discovered compound found in shark tissue, has an amazing antiviral efficacy, and could potentially thwart a number of chronic infections.

Geoengineering could potentially be used to lower the temperature of the planet, but would most likely have unintended consequences, such as altered rainfall patterns.
The potent venom of the sea wasp, delivered by a discharge of microscopic darts, causes excruciating pain. An untreated victim may die in as little as 3 minutes.
