http://www.blogigo.co.uk/Animals_World en animalsworld animalsworld Tue, 22 Jan 2008 09:29:00 +0100 daily 1 I just saw the strangest thing on television.  Some company just came out with a ridiculously fancy shoe that costs something like $120,000.  Now, I ask you, before I even get to my point, who in the world is going to walk around in a shoe that costs this much? I guarantee that the shoe isn't even comfortable. And can you imagine spilling something on it - how would you possibly breathe knowing that you were wearing a pair of shoes more expensive than some homes? But, anyway, my point is that at the presentation of these new shoes, they displayed the shoes in a large case with a cobra.  Come again?  Yep, you heard me.  They put a cobra into the display with the shoes - saying that if anyone tried to steal the shoes, they would have to contend with a cobra.  Now, I don't know about you, but I certainly wouldn't want to go up against a cobra.  But, I found the feature distasteful.  Leave the darn cobra alone!  There he was being photographed by hordes of photographers and media...

Erik Rue of Calcasieu Charter Service on June 24th, 2007 during a charter fishing trip on Calcasieu Lake south of Lake Charles , LA. It appears to be an uncanny freak of nature, an albino dolphin, with reddish eyes and glossy pink skin. It is small in comparison to the others it is traveling with and appears to be a youngster traveling with mama.

But last week Alex, an African gray parrot, died, apparently of natural causes, said Dr. Irene Pepperberg, a comparative psychologist at Brandeis University and Harvard who studied and worked with the parrot for most of his life and published reports of his progress in scientific journals. The parrot was 31.

The feathers of the bird are green, yellow and gray. It lives in pine  forests, as it feeds on the seeds of the pine and the fir.       The crossbill`s beak is very strong and not like the beak of any other bird. It ends in two sharp points that are crossed over each other. This helps the bird to crack the fir cones and get at the seeds. The crossbill makes its nest in fir-trees. It likes to climb quickly  about the branches and often hangs upside down for some minutes. The crossbill makes its little home well. The walls are about an inch thick. It makes them of pine twigs and then lines the nest with feathers, soft grass and fir-needles. There it lays three or four small greenish or greyish-white spotted eggs. The crossbill is the only bird that makes its nest in any season. For a long time the young birds need much care and attention from the parents, as their beaks are not strong and they cannot open the cones and get...

The term may also refer to only those creatures in the genus Octopus. In the larger sense, there are 289 different octopus species, which is over one-third of the total number of known cephalopod species. Octopuses are characterized by their eight arms, usually bearing suction cups. These arms are a type of muscular hydrostat. Unlike most other cephalopods, the majority of octopuses — those in the suborder most commonly known, Incirrina — have almost entirely soft bodies with no internal skeleton. They have neither a protective outer shell like the nautilus, nor any vestige of an internal shell or bones, like cuttlefish or squids. A beak, similar in shape to a parrot’s beak, is the only hard part of their body. This enables them to squeeze through very narrow slits between underwater rocks, which is very helpful when they are fleeing from morays or other predatory...
