Ocean Sun Fish

I do not know what I seem to the world, but to myself I appear to have been like a boy playing upon the seashore and diverting myself by now and then finding a smoother pebble or prettier shell than ordinary, while the great ocean of truth lay before me all undiscovered. - Sir Isaac Newton

Re: Strange animal pics





What animal is this? The fossa (Cryptoprocta ferox)



Where does it live in the wild? In the forests and woodland areas of Madagascar and the small island of Saint Marie off the coast of Africa

Cool Facts:

• A powerful animal, the fossa stands about 15 inches tall and has a cat-like appearance that resembles a mountain lion with short legs.

• A nocturnal predator with excellent hearing, sight and smell, the fossa is also a proficient climber known to pursue and capture its prey in the trees.

• The largest carnivore (meat-eater) on Madagascar, the fossa eats lemurs and other small mammals, birds and reptiles.





Vietnamese mossy frog (Theloderma corticale)

Where can I see one? The Monterey Bay Aquarium in Monterey, Calif.

Where does it live in the wild? In the karst zones of northern Vietnam at elevations of approximately 3,000 feet, where it occupies flooded caves and deep niches on the sides of mountain streams

Cool Facts:

• This stout frog is as wide as it is long, about three inches in each dimension.

• The bumpy texture of this colorful creature, along with the red, green and black montage of colors, helps camouflage it from predators. When frightened, it will fold into a ball and play dead.

• Unlike other frog species, mossy frogs don’t typically hop to escape predators. Rather, they dive into water.

Hypography?

Hypography [n.]: A combination of "hyperlink" and "bibliography" - ie, a list of links to electronic documents. Comparable to discography and bibliography, but not cartography.

We have been online since May 2000, and aim to be the best place to find and share science-related content of all kinds.

Share the love!
