This pick bird is called Rosefinch.
This is the cutest bird Iâve ever seen
Welcome to the world of Jellyfish Lake!
This marine lake is situated on Eil Malk, an island in Palau, in the Pacific Ocean. It is encased by limestone, and hence fractures and fissures within the rock structure have allowed for the intrusion of seawater, which is just a few metres away.
The lungfish, also known as salamanderfish, is a type of freshwater fish best known for its ability to live on land, without water, for months on end, and sometimes even years. As its name suggest, the lungfish have a highly evolved respiratory system that can take oxygen straight from the air, just like land animals do. In fact, some species of lungfish are so used to breathing air that they slowly lose the function of their gills as the fish approach adulthood. While they still live in water, they need to regularly come up to the surface for air. These fish can even drown if they are held underwater for a long time.
When there is water, the lungfish behaves like any other fish, swimming in the waters and eating small fish and crustaceans on the bottoms of ponds and streams. But when the dry season hits, the lung fish burrows itself deep into the mud, digging out a path by taking mud into its mouth and forcing it out its gills. After the fish has reached a comfortable depth, it will stop digging and secrete a mucous out of its skin that hardens to form a protective cocoon around it. Only the mouth is left exposed for breathing. For its long hibernation, the lungfish will greatly reduce its metabolism and live off the muscle tissues in its tail. Once the water returns and the mud softens, the lungfish will wriggle out of its burrow. Some reports claim that the fish can stay underground in dried mud for as long as four years. (Source)
Dr. Tsunemi Kubodera, with the help of his partner Kyoichi Mori was one of the first scientist to film the giant squid in its natural habitat. They relied on sperm-whale paths to find this squid, as sperm-whales prey on giant squids.
Scientist have learned that the giant squid uses a more agressive hunting style than they thought.
Just imagine what else is still out there.
Marine scientists often share tales of mysterious things that happen to their deep-sea trawls and samplers. Sometimes they will be in an area clear of sea mounts and other underwater rock and have their gear just snap off. When they reel in all the cable, itâs just snipped off near the end and the equipment is gone.
The tension gauge will read a sudden spike, then it shows the load is off the cableâŠin an instant.
Best guess: really, really big sharks. Some believe that the Great White Sharks who live in deeper waters grow to enormous sizes. We would never see them, they would not show themselves in shallow water. Most of this planet is deep ocean and we really have no idea still about what lives down there.
We have fossil remains of Great Whites that are fifty feet in length. These are thought to be extinct, but we really donât know that. After all, why would they be extinct? Itâs still the same ocean as it was in the Pleistocene.
Cotton Candy Lobster
Fisherman Robinson Russell has been fishing for over 20 years, but he
wasnât quite prepared for what he saw in one lobster haul off Grand
Manan Island in Canada. Mixed in with the other lobsters was one
stunning crustacean with a translucent blue-pink shell. Dubbed a âcotton
candyâ lobster, Russell donated his findâwhich he named Luckyâto the Huntsman Marine Science Center in New Brunswick, Canada.
This dead cedar waxwing was found with a berry still in its mouth. Waxwings will eat berries to get a little tipsy, but its possible the cold brings out the toxicity even more in the berries. A possible explanation for the waxwingâs death is alcohol poisoning. But thereâs no definite answer.Â
birds can abuse alcohol :0
Fisherman Catches A âGiant Piranhaâ (Goliath tiger fish)
Jeremy Wade, host of Animal Planetâs âRiver Monstersâ has made the catch of the century on a stretch of the River Congo. This prehistoric looking creature is 5 feet long and weights approximately 100 pounds (more than 50 kg) but what shocks us the most, are this giant piranhaâs teeth, 32 razor-sharp teeth to be more exact. The amazing size of these fangs is mostly common in great white sharks, so if you were thinking small piranhas are dangerous and creepy, think again, cause this monster exists for real, and itâs got the teeth of a shark.
Fortunately, they only live in a remote part of Africa along the Congo River, a place which is very hard to reach for outsiders, and even for the locals.
