Awww, isnt that cute

Can you imagine the fish fry with this?

NOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!

First they find the Chumpacabra and now Bigfoot! I'm getting my fishing pole and going after Nessie.

Simply amazing

The mating habits of the water shrew.

The weird sisters!

Cooler than nematodes!

Using rats to prove

why I had no luck in highschool.....or college......or after college.

Why barnacles?

Why didn't evolution help me out?

Remember, they have no fear of humans!

This is another sign of the apocalypse! Giant Freakin' RATS!

"The giant rat is about five times the size of a typical city rat," said Kristofer Helgen, a scientist with the Smithsonian Institution in Washington. "With no fear of humans, it apparently came into the camp several times during the trip."

What they don't say is that it ate three researchers!

Holy Carp

That is one big fish!

I really do find

This story amusing.

"Investigators said officers responded to reports of car break-ins at a Miccosukee Indian Reservation parking lot located at 500 S.W. 177th Ave. in Miami.

One of the men was quickly captured by officers during the incident last week but the other robbery suspect tried to elude officer by jumping into a large pond behind the facility, according to a WJXT-TV report.

During the swim, police said, an alligator attacked and killed the man. He was apparently bitten on the head several times.

The victim's body was recovered at the bottom of the pond about a day after the reported break-ins."

See, funny.....okay, not ha, ha funny but funny none the less.

Testing....Testing.....1,2,3 Test

I wonder if I can get this video to embed?

Whiskey Tango Foxtrot????

I don't know what to make of this!

The fish that can survive for months in a tree

It's one of the golden rules of the natural world – birds live in trees,
fish live in water.
The trouble is, no one bothered to tell the mangrove
killifish. Scientists have discovered that it spends several months
of every year out of the water and living inside trees.

"They really don't meet standard behavioural criteria for fish," he told
New Scientist magazine. Although the cracks inside logs make a perfect
hiding place, conditions can be cramped. The fish – which are usually fiercely
territorial – are forced to curb their aggression. Another study,
published earlier this year, revealed how they alter their bodies and metabolism
to cope with life out of water.

Their gills are altered to retain water and nutrients, while they
excrete nitrogen waste through their skin. These changes are
reversed as soon as they return to the water.

Previously their biggest claim to fame was that they are the only known
vertebrate – animal with a backbone – to reproduce without the need for a mate.

Killifish can develop both female and male sexual organs, and fertilise
their eggs while they are still in the body, laying tiny embryos into the water.

I think I know where I am going to go for my next vacation

It has pristine beaches untouched by humans.

Above a calm, dark ocean, a huge, bloated red sun rises in the sky - a full ten times the size of our Sun as seen from Earth. Small waves lap at a sandy shore and on the beach, something stirs...

This is the scene - or may be the scene - on what is possibly the most extraordinary world to have been discovered by astronomers: the first truly Earth-like planet to have been found outside our Solar System.

Hey, it's only 20.5 light years away. I just cant seem to find an airline that will take me.

Only in Alaska

and maybe West Virginia, would an eagle lugging a deer head cause a power outage!

Twice in one week

Two stories in one week that Thing #1 will love.




Rare primitive shark captured on film

The Awashima Marine Park in Shizuoka, south of Tokyo, was alerted by a fisherman at a nearby port on Sunday that he had spotted an odd-looking eel-like creature with a mouthful of needle-sharp teeth.

Marine park staff caught the 1.6 metre (5 ft) long creature, which they identified as a female frilled shark, sometimes referred to as a "living fossil" because it is a primitive species that has changed little since prehistoric times

Now that is some good eatin'

Thing #1 is gonna love this

Biplane or dragonfly? Wind tunnel tests may tell the tale.

Microraptor, found in fossil form in
China, was described by Xing Xu of the Chinese
Academy of Sciences in 2003 as having aerodynamic feathers on both its arms and
legs. Xu suggested at the time that it glided,
extending its legs backward so its wings were arranged one behind the other,
like a dragonfly.

But Chatterjee noted that the feathers on the
legs would not face forward, and argued that having one set of wings directly
behind another would be aerodynamically inefficient.

Instead, Chatterjee suggested, the legs of the
two-pound creature could have been held below the body in flight, creating two
staggered wing sections, the upper one slightly ahead of the lower one.

Is there anything dinosaurs couldn't do? Well, you know, except overcome extinction?

More research I can get behind!

This is a clinical study of the effects of different illicit drugs on spiders in the wild. Simply amazing.

Another Study! Who knew there was so much work needed on this subject?

Wisconsin Man Runs Over, Eats Seven-Legged Transgendered Deer

Whiskey Tango Foxtrot?

FOND DU LAC, Wis. — Rick Lisko hunts deer with a bow, but got his most unusual one driving his truck down his mile-long driveway.

The young buck had nub antlers — and seven legs. Lisko said it also had both male and female reproductive organs.

"It was definitely a freak of nature," Lisko said. "I guess it's a real rarity."

Yes Sir, a real rarity and he didn't even stop to think, MAYBE I SHOULDN'T EAT THIS. Hell, he could have sold it on EBay for a fortune.

Thank ACE
