Giant Naga serpent in Borneo

ommunity of West Kutai (Kubar), especially the Mahakam Ulu, digemparkan emergence of a pair of giant snakes of the drum or about 60 centimeters in diameter with a length of about 40 meters. Giant snake was seen swerving on the surface of the water in the cascade Haloq, Kampung Tuyoq Long, Long Pahangai District.
Giant snake that crossed the river was believed to be the Dayak community as a dragon. Based on information compiled Tribune, the actual appearance of the dragon event occurred on Friday (29/1/2010).
At that time a longboat departs from Long Bagun to Long Pahangai. Longboat arrived during the day in the village of Long Tuyuq, Haloq cascade upstream. That's when the motorist and passengers longboat to see a pair of giant snakes across the surface of the Mahakam River in the opposite direction.
So find a pair of dragon pass, longboat pulled the motor directly to the river for fear of being victimized. "It turns out that the dragons go on and do not feel disturbed by the presence of longboat," said Dodik, who heard the story of his family in the Mahakam Ulu.
After that, the motor and a direct passengers to take pictures using camera phones because they think it's a rare moment. In the region of the giant snake Kubar own photo spread and society has become excited.
According to a resident of Kampung Lutan, District Long The relationship, in fact there are two dragons that look. One male dragon type because it is believed there are two horns on his head and a female dragon because no horns. Both the animal has four legs, a black color with a length of about 40 meters and a diameter of about 60 centimeters of the body.
He added that earlier in the Long Tuyoq there is even a citizen and his son who was hunting pigs to see the giant snake. Shock, the boy could not even speak until now.
According to local belief, the appearance of a dragon for the Dayak is an harbinger, the notice will be accompanied by heavy rain flooding that occurred three days after the appearance of a giant snake. It is more convincing because since Monday (1/2/2010) to Wednesday (3/2/2010), Mahakam River overflowed and caused flooding that hit several districts along the Mahakam River, of which Long Bagun, Laham, Long The relationship, Long Iram, Tering, Melak, Muara Pahu, Penyinggahan, and Mook Bulatn Manaar.
Difficult access
Long Tuyoq village located in the District of Long Pahangai. Has an area of ​​126.95 square kilometers and inhabited by a majority of the Dayak Bahau Busang. They lived along the Mahakam River in the eyes of the search as rain-fed farmers, rubber, vanilla, hunting, and traditional gold miners.
Long Tuyoq a remote area so access is quite difficult to get there. From Samarinda if using small aircraft DAS, it takes 1 hour to the Datah strings. After that it should proceed with ketinting downstream Mahakam River, takes about 2 hours. If using a longboat takes 1 hour.
Meanwhile, if using a motor boat (water taxi) from Samarinda to Long Bagun takes two days. Of Long Bagun followed by a speedboat, the tariff is Rp 500,000 per person, while the longboat Rp 400,000 per person.
It took 12 hours from Long Bagun up in Long Tuyoq. Pathways through which the river is full of challenges and risks of having to deal with a cascade-cascade malignancy that exist along the Mahakam River. Cascade is the most virulent known length of the cascade and cascade shrimp, there are rocks, sharp and whirlpools are ready to swallow the boat if not careful passing. On both sides of the Mahakam River to the village of Long Tuyoq overgrown with large trees the size of a buffalo's body.
33 meter snake
Earlier, in February 2009, Metro also make a scene when the world appears an aerial photograph that shows a giant snake passing by in a river in Sarawak, Malaysia. The giant snake swimming in the river Baleh, Sibu, Sarawak, northern Borneo.
A photo of a giant snake seen swimming melenggak-swing at a tropical river surrounded by forest peat. Black snake was very big, almost meets the river located in the middle of a lush swamp forest. Water lapped at the left of right. Reportedly, the photo was taken from a helicopter, February 11, 2009.
Photos that are being debated. Borneo does have giant snakes. However, during this large snake is a kind of newly discovered or python or python snake called the Borneo fields, a dozen feet in length.
However, the snake is seen in the photographs and circulated widely on the internet, including Youtube, it is much longer and larger than the findings of python. Estimated length of 100 feet or about 33 meters.
Pictures were taken by team members who then flood the area published by the Messenger of Sarawak, a local newspaper. New Straits Times in Kuala Lumpur, also load the image, which is then released by The Telegraph, UK.
There is also no picture to believe it and consider it purely engineering. That's because it's too far shooting the snake. True or not, the photo was made public in Sarawak, particularly Sibu, frightened because the river is the lifeblood of this community for transportation.
Based on the legend that lived in the local community, it is believed about the existence of large snakes in the area named Nabau. According to belief, Nabau a snake with a length of 80 meters with a dragon head and seven nostrils. Villagers living in Borneo believe the Baleh River is a mystical creature. In addition, the community is often seen big snakes in the region.
Well, if the picture is genuine, whether it's a snake that looks kind of python or anaconda? Until now it has not found any anacondas in Borneo.
Record for the longest snake today is the anaconda (Eunectes) from Amazon. Anaconda is the boa family. The latest long anaconda found was 50 feet, but scientists believe there is a 80 foot long anaconda, even 100 feet of the snake skin findings by British scientists on an expedition in 1992. In the anaconda family, according to environmental website Mongabay, the largest is the green anaconda (Eunectes murinus). Length is 43 meters.
Piton Asia is the second longest snake. Asiatic reticulated python Scientists call (Python reticulatus). Longest pythons are found in Kalimantan area 33 feet in length and is the world record for the longest python today. The scientists believe the long python can reach 50 feet or 15 meters.
The difference is more slender and expert anaconda swim. While python is more plump and just like the humidity, not in water. Anaconda bite their prey to death before swallowing, while pythons prey using its power to bind up his bones broken or does not move anymore, then swallowed whole.
Beginning in February last year, the scientists also discovered fossils of a snake weighing a small car. The snake that could swallow an animal the size expected cow. Along the 45 foot monster named Titanoboa is very large and live by eating crocodiles and giant turtles. Weighed 1.25 tons. He used to creep around the tropical forests of South America 60 years ago.

Fish That is Very Scary Monster

Like the ocean, the river also is home to thousands of species of freshwater animals. Not only fish, the river was found to form various types of creatures with strange enough and may have never imagined before.


The following interesting information about the 7 Scary Monster Fish

1. AFRICAN lungfish



Creatures of the river is quite strange in my opinion. For people who have never seen it, would have thought of this creature as a monster because of its creepy.
However, despite the terrible shape, these animals are completely harmless. These fish adapt to its environment is less oxygen, thus making these fish rarely seen by humans.

2. Goliath TIGERFISH



Hearing his name, we already know if the creature is not being arbitrary. With up to 1.5 meters long and sharp teeth, of course, many people are afraid to look spooky fish.
Goliath Tigerfish is the largest variant in the family Tigerfish, and is a great predator. This fish is known for its strength and speed.

3. VAMPIRE PIRANHA



Vampire Piranha is a close relative of the famous piranha fish of the Amazon river. This fish is called vampire piranha because his fangs that can reach 6 inches. Piranha fish which is rarely known to live in the Orinoco River, Venezuela.

4. Mekong Giant Catfish



Surely most readers already know this one fish. Fish are almost similar to the whale shark is the largest freshwater fish ever found, and came from China. The biggest size is closer to whales than freshwater fish in general.

5. Bagarius YARELLI


Also known as the "Yeti of the river" or catfish meat eaters. This fish has teeth - sharp teeth and longer reach one inch. In fact, fish habitat is spread across several countries in Asia are said to like to eat human flesh, although still a rumor.

6. Alligator GAR



Creatures of the river on this one looks like a mix between the alligator and fish. Animals that live in North America are rarely hunt prey, but wait for prey to pass in front of his mouth, then he pounced with remarkable speed.

7. Pirarucu


Pirarucu glance very similar to the famous Arowana fish in Indonesia, these fish also have in common with arowana fish, which is the same - just like jumping into the air to hunt and breathe air.
This fish is actually not harmful, but if it feels threatened, he will use his head for self-defense weapon.

Legendary Monster Fish "Oarfish"

In the past, when cars and airplanes have not been there, the travelers explore the world by ship. And since then came the legendary sea monsters are incredible. Are these monsters really exist? or just fantasy of a drunken sailor? Although science can not determine with certainty the identity of these monsters, but at least there are some that could be considered prime suspects. This is one of them, or Oarfish Regalecus Glesne.

If you look at his picture, I think you would not be surprised to see these creatures are often mistaken for a monster or sea serpent.


These fish belong to the category of very rare and seldom seen. I was so scarce that the fish is never caught on camera in a state of life to 2001.


He belongs to the family that has four species Regalecidae. One species, Regalecus Glesne, we're talking about this, never entered into the Guinness Book of World Records for having been found living with a body length of up to 11 meters.


The food is plankton and tiny sea creatures other. He was able to live up to a depth of 1,000 meters. Surprisingly, this fish has no scales. His body was covered only by a kind of membrane, called guanine.

These fish have a single fin fish, including red and a loner. However, when these fish are sick or dying, like the loner does not want to die in loneliness. So he climbed to the top surface of the sea and stay there until death. Possible to attract the attention of the sailors, or just want to look at the sun for the last time.

VFTS 682, Lonely Star At Magellanic Cloud

Using the Very Large Telescope (VLT) in Chile, astronomers have found a star named in the Tarantula Nebula VFTS 682, the Large Magellanic Cloud, a small neighboring galaxy to our Milky Way galaxy.

Star is more versatile than the Sun, has a mass 150 times greater than the Sun and 3 million times more luminous than the Sun.
1636062620X310 VFTS 682, Lonely Star At Magellanic Cloud

However, unlike 682 VFTS star size and are typically found in dense star clusters. VFTS 682 which is one of the brightest star ever discovered and has a surface temperature of up to 50,000 degrees Celsius was apparently a lonely star.

As quoted Astronomy Now, Joachim Bestenlehner of Armagh Observatory in Northern Ireland who led the study, said, "We were very surprised to find that the star of that size alone was not located in a dense star cluster." Up to now, according to Bestenlehner, the origin of stars it remains a mystery.
eso1117b VFTS 682, Lonely Star At Magellanic Cloud


Because of the location adjacent to the Tarantula Nebula and star forming regions close to the group VFTS R136 682, then astronomers suspect that the first 682 VFTS not alone. According to astronomers, VFTS 682 may be formed in the R136 cluster, and then flew out to exist in isolation.

The explanation may be the answer to puzzle 682 VFTS origin. But, if that were true, one more question arise. What kind of energy that could catapult for VFTS 682 stars from gugusnya?

To be sure, these findings will challenge the understanding of massive stars is growing now. The findings were published in the journal Astronomy & Astrophysics.

Wonders, The existence of a Vegetarian Shark

Could it be that trauma can affect the choice of eating a shark? This fact. A shark named Florence in 2009 were injured by fishing hooks, and this female sharks have entered the operating table in order to heal.

The surgery went well, but the impact is really changing the nature of eating Florence. Since then, he did not want to eat meat and vegetables instead choose. Not surprisingly, this 6-foot-long shark was nicknamed vegetarian shark.

Nature, are a class of carnivorous sharks. Meat is still needed for the body of nutrients. Initially, the guards at the Birmingham National Sea Life Center difficulty feeding meat to Florence. He always refused the meat is given. Finally, the guards set the tactics. They put the fish behind the vegetables. Florence was again receiving the appropriate nutrition.

"We had to hide the pieces of fish on the sidelines of celery sticks, cucumber and squeeze on salad leaves so that Florence would eat it. And, be clever to hide it. Otherwise, he would not care about the food we give, "said curator Graham Burrows told itv.com

The Capable Worm Found Living In the depth of 900 Meters

The Capable Worm Found Living In the depth of 900 MetersTullis Onstott, from Princeton University scientists, with colleagues from South Africa, Belgium and the Netherlands found a new species of worm called Halicephalobus Mephisto. Scientists found this worm lives in the depths of 900-3600 meters in the underground water layer on a gold mine in South Africa.

Onstott said he was surprised and did not think finding a worm in that depth. "Scary as hell when I first saw the worm moves. Worms that look like small black objects moving in circles, "Onstott said as quoted Dailymail.

Previously, many scientists thought that only the microorganisms that can live at that depth. Why, oxygen and nutrients are limited, and temperature extremes. However, the present invention, Onstott prove that multicellular organisms can survive in that environment.

In its publication in the journal Nature on Wednesday (06.01.11), Onstott explained that Halicephalobus Mephisto entered in the phylum Nematoda.

It has a small size, about 0.55 mm and can tolerate temperatures up to over 48 degrees celsius. Way is to reproduce asexually (without mating) and choose the food bacteria below the surface.

Carbon analysis showed that the water in the layer where the worm species found 3000-12000 years old. Believed that the species of worm that lives on the surface initially, but was taken to the lower layer by rainwater past. This worm is similar to fruit rot and worms that may have a kinship with him.

These findings could indicate that the underground environment is more complex than expected. The discovery of multicellular creatures also provide important implications for living underground search on other planets in the Solar System.

In addition to finding Halicephalobus Mephisto, Onstott and his colleagues also discovered other worms, including Plectus aquatilis.

Drain Flow Could Cause Electric Eels

God is great power there, creating an eel that has electricity. Various kinds of creatures were created to have the advantages of each of the properties of natural and unnatural.

Several hundred species of fish have electricity-producing organs, but few are able to generate electric power is strong. Electricity-producing organs are shared by most fish is composed of nerve cells and muscle cells that have undergone significant changes.

Forms of electric organ that produces such a small disc called Elektrosit mucus, composed and fused at the top of the other parallel arrangement. In general, all facing the same direction as the dish containing 150 or 200 discs per order.

For example, the torpedo fish dish there are 140 to 1000 electricity in each column. At a very large torpedo fish, the total number of discs to half a million.

The working principle of electric disc is similar to the way batteries work. When the fish to rest, the muscles that are not connected yet active. But if it receives a message from the nerve, will soon be working in unison to remove electrical power.

At that time, the voltage of all electric plate or Elektrosit fused, so as to generate electric power to 220 volts in the fish torpedo or up to 650 volts in an electric eel.

In general, all species of freshwater fish produce only electric light, unless Sembilang electric and electric eels. Electric fish that live in the ocean has a stronger power, and dangerous, because sea water contains salt that makes him more resistant to electrical current. The position and shape of the electric organ will vary depending on the species.

Besides fish, armed with an electric charge potential, there are also other types of fish that produce low-voltage signal of 2 to 3 volts. If these fish do not use this kind of weak electrical signals to hunt or defend themselves, and then used for what?

These fish take advantage of these weak signals as sensory organs. God created the body's sensory system in these fish, which delivers and receives signals.

These fish produce an electric radiant in a special tool in its tail. Electricity is transmitted through thousands of pores on the back of this creature in the form of a signal that temporarily creates an electric field around it.

Any object in this field refracts, so these fish know the size, power flow and motion of objects. In the body of this fish, there are electrical sensors that continue to define this field as well as radar.

In short, this fish has a radar that transmits electrical signals and translate changes in the field caused by objects that block the signals around the body. When the complexity of radar used by humans are still being grown, wonderful creation in the fish's body as it will become clear.

Forms of electric eel's body is unique, almost 7/8 form part of her tail. At the tail there is little batteries of small plates are horizontal and vertical. Huge numbers, more than 5,000 pieces.

Small electrical voltage of each battery is not great, but if all the batteries are connected in rows (series), will be obtained voltage about 600 volts (compared with batteries are only 1.5 volts).

Tip of the tail acts as a positive pole of the battery and the head end acts as a negative pole. Electric eels can regulate the relationship between the small battery in his body was to get a small electrical voltage and the voltage of electricity.

For navigation, electric eels requires only a small electrical voltage. But when dealing with enemies or prey, electric eel will provide a voltage to the maximum extent possible through the head and tail attached to the body of an enemy or prey.

About 1 ampere of electrical current generated by high voltage electricity will flow and kill them. But other animals are not disturbed as they are not in direct contact with the tail and head of the eel.

Rare species of snake found in Sumatra, Indonesia

Researchers WWF Indonesia, Ridwan Setiawan, Sumatran pit viper was discovered snake species or Sumatran tree viper. Named species of Trimeresurus sumatranus it is not a new species, but relatively rare species.

"In Sumatra, now it is difficult to find this species. First may quite often, it's rare, "said the researcher who is familiarly called Iwan Podol it.

Iwan said, Trimeresurus sumatranus a venomous snake with a unique style. Basic color is gray, yellow-green patterned snake and has a reddish tail. The size is 1.5 to 2 meters long.

The snake is found precisely in Bukit Barisan Selatan National Park, Lampung. The area is suitable habitat for the Sumatran pit viper was because the condition is moist and rich food source for snakes.

John explained that the snake was discovered during a survey of Sumatran rhino habitat for some time. Place of discovery is in the forest habitat is still maintained, that in primary forest.

Trimeresurus sumatranus, Iwan is clear, usually eat frogs, rats forest, and several species of birds. Usually, the snake was found in a small tree branch and still close to the ground.

According to John, the snake is active at night. Distribution of its own habitat in Sumatra, Mentawai, Nias, Borneo, to the Peninsular Malaysia to Thailand.

Currently, this rare type of snake was facing the threat. "There are many snakes are hunted. This snake coraknya unique, so one of the hunted. Snakes are also hunted for their toxins, "said Iwan.

Threats also come from forest destruction activities. "If the forests are destroyed, damaged habitat, it is also a threat to this snake," said John when contacted Kompas.com.

Stopping forest destruction and hunting are the appropriate steps to maintain the viability of this snake species. With the move anyway, many species can be saved.

The emergence of Monster Nessie

A man named Marcus Atkinson managed to get a sonar image shows an unidentified object that lives under water. This mysterious creature is recorded at a depth of 22.86 meters and looks, this creature has a body of nearly 1.5 meters wide.
"I sail my boat and see the sonar display these images. These objects appear bigger and I was photographed. The form is also strange, "he said.

The results of Marcus Atkinson frivolous image made ​​public. Many believe the creature is Nessie, the Loch Ness monster of the lake dwellers (Scotland) are legendary.
But experts say Nessie sightings are other types of fish, seals, or pieces of wood are believed to be evidence of the existence of this mysterious creature, as quoted by dailymail.
Responding to these objections, Marcus Atkinson says, "I have 21 years to see the various pictures and images that say it was a sighting of Nessie, but only this time I own can be a very clear picture. There was no animal or other creature of that size in this lake (Loch Ness). I was very surprised because this one is so big. Sonar images can not be faked, really. And I've never seen anything like this. "
To be sure, the tape Marcus won the award "The Best Nessie sighting of The Year Award" from William Hill.
Who is right, is still a mystery. Do you think?

Mammoth there is a blonde and want to be cloned

There are unique from the latest discovery of fossils of mammoths in Siberia. In addition to his body is still preserved intact, ancient animals that live in the ice age has blond hair slightly pink (strawberry blonde).
Yuka, the name of the juvenile mammoth fossil, discovered in a cliff frozen in Siberia, according to scientists, Yuka provide important insight into the secrets of animal shaped like a giant elephant that has not been known, such as hair and eye color.
Scientists who examined the body Yuka discover many mysteries. Body fossils, for example, shows early humans allegedly stole the rest of the carcass after death Yuka lion predation. It is known from injuries consistent with the mammoth body is strongly suspected in the attack and singa.Jika human right, the findings will be the first evidence of interaction between the mammoth and ancient human ever found in the area tersebut.Yuka estimated three to four years old when he died and still have the foot pads and the hair that grows between them. Scientists estimate Yuka buried in ice for more than 10 thousand years. Yuka's body following an injury suffered in a well preserved es.Kevin Campbell, professor of environmental physiology and evolution at the University of Manitoba, Canada, said the most striking thing about Yuka is a strawberry-blond hair.

"Mammoth-mammoth previously had darker hair. There was a possibility of mammoth hair a lighter color in 2006 when the scientists analyzed the genes of the bone, "said Campbell.

He said that fossil findings Yuka will help experts determine the presence of eye and hair color variation among populations of mammoths.
Daniel Fisher, professor of earth and environmental sciences at the University of Michigan, United States, said there is dramatic evidence of a life and death struggle between Yuka and a top predator. "Even more interesting, there is evidence that early humans might take over the murder of Yuka," said dia.Yuka ivory hunters first discovered in Siberia. The fossil was later taken over by Mammuthus organization, allowing the experts to begin to analyze it.
Intention of raising Mammoth
Campbell has also published a giant elephant hemoglobin genetic code is a few years ago. "It is rare to find specimens that are still incomplete as the discovery of a baby mammoth Lyuba in 2007. Surely this would be a boon for researchers, because it will help them connect the morphological traits that we can see with the genotype (DNA sequence). "Such information could help reveal whether the mammoth had all the same color hair as manusia.In fact, reportedly no intention to revive it through the process of cloning mammoths.
Campbell himself seems to support that goal, saying "maybe we can make important new discoveries in biotechnology."
Bernard Buigues of the scientific organization "Mammuthus" was revealed, "I will not oppose if there be a mammoth that lived in the (a) park of the future."

Tim Walker, producer and director of a show at the BBC told Discovery News that cloning a mammoth can take many tahun.Kemudian, if it happens, if later mammoth that life is not lonely?
"Yes, it's mammoth communal animals," said Walker.

Well, then later Jurassic Park would be true, then?
