    • News
    • Science
    Paleontologists have uncovered one of Earth's oldest moving animals in the fossil-rich Nilpena Ediacara National Park of South Australia. The newly discovered species, Quaestio simpsonorum, lived 555 million years ago and is believed to be the first known animal to exhibit left-right asymmetry, a crucial evolutionary trait that enabled independent movement. Described as a small creature resembling a question mark, Quaestio roved the seafloor like a primitive vacuum, feeding on microbial mats.
