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.

Splashy, Able Skip Giant Frog 10 Meter

Village residents Palarahi, Wakatobi District, Konawe, Southeast Sulawesi, shocked by the discovery of a giant frog. The weight of each toad reached about 3 kg and is able to jump as far as 10 meters.

Frog is one of them measuring about 40 cm long (from mouth to the hind legs), first discovered by Seman, a citizen who happened to catch fish using electric shock.

Seman, said that initially had thought the yellow-green frog is a large snake that came to light. However, after scrutiny it turns out the two large frogs. He then took a pair of frogs to his home.

Information by word of mouth to make people curious. They came to see firsthand the frog that has become the talk.

All people who witnessed first-time claims for it to see the frog. Even her fingers and toes are longer than the human finger.

In addition to size and weight are not uncommon, these frogs also have the ability to jump very far, reaching 10 meters.

So that toads do not run, Seman made ​​a special enclosure. He also did not intend to sell a pair of these animals.

Fatty Oil of Crocodiles,Coooollllzzz..

Current oil reserves are running low, it encourages people to seek alternative fuel. A wide range of materials ranging from soybeans, castor beans and even corn processed into fuel. However, what if the crocodile is used as an alternative fuel?
Fuel from fat alligators 20110817 Crocodiles


In the United States, crocodiles are farmed for skins and meat taken. But another part is used as crocodile fat. Every year there are approximately 7 million pounds of fat crocodile wasted and only existed as a waste. Though this crocodile fats can be processed into fuel.

This led researchers at the University of Louisiana in the United States took the initiative to cultivate the crocodile fat. The researchers are trying to convert fat into biodiesel crocodile, which can be used by vehicles and help the American auto industry is being plagued by the problem, due to continued elevated prices of gasoline and diesel.

Dr. Rakesh Bajpai is a researcher, explained that the 7 million pounds of alligator fat can actually be converted into 4.73 million liters of biodiesel.

biodiesel fuel from fats Crocodiles

The high biodiesel can be produced from crocodile fat, since about 61 percent fat mass of crocodiles can be converted into a liquid suitable for making biodiesel.

In addition, biodiesel from crocodile fat, 9 percent more environmentally friendly than diesel fuel made ​​from petroleum. The quality is also equivalent to the biodiesel from soy, when compared to most other animal fats, the quality of crocodile fat was relatively higher.

If every state would bother to find alternative fuels that are environmentally friendly, in fact there are many things that can be processed. So there is no longer 100 percent dependent on petroleum, the reserves are running low.

Mosquitoes Survive In a rain storm? SO cool

The team of researchers from Georgia Tech managed to uncover the secret of why mosquitoes can survive in a rain storm, even if its size is very small.

As many people know, mosquitoes love to live in damp conditions and no one knows how these little animals can survive when it rains.

Fox News.
"The interesting part of this animal, this animal can survive even when it rains," said researcher David L Hu.

To find out, the team used high-speed camera to take pictures of a mosquito flying in rainy conditions.

As quoted by FoxNews, when it rains and a drop of water on the mosquito, it is known, the speed of this animal is down 10%. "That is, these animals can absorb more power and survive," he said.

In addition, the flying animals also helped him survive. "The body of water is also beneficial anti-animal," she added.

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.

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.

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.

Tropical fish can live on land

Wow ... this one is very interesting

Ga have thought, there was a fish that can live on land for a long time ..

It is based on research from U.S. scientists, such as whether the fish?

Tropical Fish Mangrove Rivulus 800px to itself on the ground
RESEARCH U.S. scientists said the tropical fish that live in the swamps were able to survive for months without water. One type is the mangrove Rivulus fish (Rivulus marmoratus) that live in swamps berbakau throughout the Americas.

Once a bad season arrives and the water shrink, not rare fish that can only grow to the size of 7.5 cm was stuck in a tree cavity made of insects, shells, and even tin cans. They live huddled in a hole the ground and breathe using gills than the skin.

Unlike most fish breathe with gills, mangrove Rivulus skin breathe. When the habitat begins to dry, they hide in the soil pits, coconut shells or even canned beverages. In hiding, the fish skin to breathe and can live for months without water. After the rains came and water re-flooded habitat, they come out of hiding and live like ordinary fish.

Scott Taylor, a researcher of the Environment Endangered Land Program Brevard area in Florida, USA, without knowing accidentally while doing research in Belize, Central America. The actual type of tropical fish can also be found in Brazil and the United States.

"We take apart a tree trunk and the fish come out of nowhere," said Taylor. Then the results of testing done in the laboratory showed the fish to survive up to more than 66 days without water and food. Surprisingly, the body's metabolic system remains functioning normally.

Numerous species of fish known to have the ability to survive without water and food but no one so far. Let's see, catfish that can crawl on land for hours. Lung fish in Australia, Africa, and South America can live without water but only during the period of dormancy (fasting in summer).

The ability of fish may provide clues to how animals began to grow in the ground water. Patricia Wright, a biologist from the University of Guelph, Canada, said the fish habitat is similar to the environmental conditions of millions of years ago when the animals begin to migrate from water to land.

Not only survive without water, mangrove Rivulus fish also has a bizarre sexual condition. Each fish has testicular and ovarian parthenogenetic alias so that it can perform independently with a mate to fertilize their own eggs inside the body. "He is probably the most stable fish, not only has sex odd but also does not have a standard life like other fish," said Taylor.

Being Strong As much as Eagles

Eagle became the most popular birds throughout human civilization. Ujudnya used as a symbol by many people since then. Became a symbol of the military when the Roman Empire and Persia, were used by Napoleon, the Ottoman Turks until now in power in Turkey.

While in Indonesia, an eagle (garuda) has been used by the Royal Sintang about the 13th century AD And, today, more than 40 countries using the eagle as the national emblem.

So the question is, why the eagle? One answer because the eagle is a tough bird. Eagle flying high in sky blue and ... alone in looking for food. Could see up to 5 kilometers away, and the maximum flying speed of 160 km / h.

Although the eagle is a genetically inherited ability, it does not mean they do not train and fight as a child.

Young eagle flying start practicing now reached the age of 2 or 3 months. Some even faster, especially for small eagle nests do not like to share with his brother.

Beginning to learn to fly must be having a falling-up. No one ever eagle flew immediately successful when first tried.

In some cases, there is a young falcon that fear out of the nest and learn to fly. Then their parents will be flying around the nest while fishing with his favorite foods. So there was the suggestion of parents kicked her eagles dare to fly.

However, a young eagle must have the courage to come out of a cozy nest. Because at about 6 months of age should young eagles can fly alone without supervision of their parents.

They also learn to look for the bait to see and follow their parents during the hunt. They learn to fly high, stalking, and then plunged immediately brush game.

Like the eagle, to be resilient to the determination and courage. Sometimes, we need to get out of the 'comfort zone' (comfort zone) as well as the young eagle out of their nest.

Only with the courage to do it, we can find a wide world, and can fly high in pursuit of what we want.

As it turns out Mosquito Sucking Blood Urine

Blood-sucking insects bleak mosquitoes did have a strange behavior when sucking blood. As previously known by the experts, they pee first. And, unexpectedly, they also issued a pre-urine liquid form of blood!

Apparently 1739246620X310 Mosquito Sucking Blood Urine As

Such behavior makes the scientists puzzled. Claudio R Lazzari, entomologist from the University François Rabelais in Tours, France, as quoted by the New York Times, saying, "Blood is something very precious. Release at high risk. "

Lazzari recent study conducted and published in the journal Current Biology reveals that the pre-discharge urine aims to lower the body temperature at mealtime, which can reach 40 degrees Celsius.

To get the conclusion that, Lazzari studied mosquito species Anopheles stephensi. When eating, liquid urine and urine pre-mosquitoes were released through the anus. Sometimes, the fluid that will hang like dew dripping before the fall.

By Lazzari, while urine and urine pre-released, the liquid evaporates and cools the body temperature up to 3 degrees Celsius. This mechanism is one of the greatness of insects in the control of body temperature.

Mosquitoes are not the only insect that uses its own food to regulate body temperature. Bees, for example, throw a little nectar is eaten to keep the head cool while flying.

Wow, this Chameleon 1.6 cm Only

A group of scientists from the Museum of Natural History, Munich, Germany recently announced a new discovery, namely mini chameleons.

Male chameleon size is only about 1.6 cm (wikipedia) and may not be when grow up more than 3 cm, thus named as the smallest reptiles.
Brookesia Micra on a match head Wow, this Chameleon 1.6 cm Only

His name: Brookesia Micra, Frank Glaw findings, lead researcher of the Bavarian State Collection of Zoology, who began the expedition from 2003 to 2007 in Madagascar.


"Brookesia" according to genus, while the word "Micra" is derived from the Greek "μικρός" (microscope), meaning small.

Scientists recognize that species are not too difficult to catch because only climb as high as 10 cm pohoon twigs.

"They're asleep and you can retrieve it easily. It's like taking a strawberry. They do not move a full night, "said a scientist Glaw the Museum of Natural History in Munich, Germany, as quoted by Our Amazing Planet.

Besides Brookesia Micra, scientists also found three other types of chameleons. Scientists also predict that there may be other smaller chameleon. Chameleons are found to be highly vulnerable to habitat destruction.

The Exotic White Lion of Africa

Odd News - white lion occasionally found in wildlife reserves in South Africa and is a rare color mutation of the Kruger subspecies of lion (Panthera leo krugeri).

Has been perpetuated by selective breeding in zoos around the world. White lions are not a separate subspecies and they are never the same in nature.


Regarded as divine by locals, white lions first came to public attention in the 1970's in the book Chris McBride The Timbavati White Lions.


The largest population of white lions in zoos where they are deliberately bred for color. White lion population is unknown, but the number of the most recent was in 2004 and 30 are still alive.

White lions are not albino lions. In contrast, the white color is caused by a recessive gene known as chinchilla color inhibitor.

They vary from blonde to near white, but some can also be red. This gives white lions a distinct disadvantage in nature because they are highly visible.

This gives them away to their prey and make them an attractive target for hunters. According to Linda Tucker, in "The Mystery of the White Lions - Children Sun God" they are bred in camps in South Africa as trophies for canned hunting.

Octopus Headed Man

really surprised when I saw this one ..

Why? because there is an octopus who has a head like a man ..

Like what this octopus .. You will be interested when I saw the picture on this one ..


Estuary area residents, Village Berok Nipah, Padang, West Sumatra, shocked with an octopus-like head and a human-like face of a woman. This octopus was brought by a fisherman went home together with other octopus cooked his wife.

Octopus is carved around 20cm and has two eyes, two ears and one nose and lips. These strange animals are shown to the visitors who want to see the currently endangered animals was shown to the public, this octopus invite the attention of all other citizens.

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.

The collection of Unique Species Found In 2010

Every year new animal species discovered. Many of them have a unique characteristic and not encountered before.

In 2010, some interesting species found by scientists. Anyone can glow like a lamp, there is a devouring iron, some are able to produce materials that are stronger than kevlar. Here are a unique species in 2010 which have been collected by the website LiveScience.

1. Fish Pancake Batfish

This is a species of fish affected by the catastrophic oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico last year. Bears the Latin name Halieutichthys intermedius, these fish live in deep water areas.

With a flat shape like a pancake, this fish has a peculiar motion. More like a jump with fins along the bottom of the sea, rather than swim.

2. Spiders Darwin's Bark Spider

These animals come from Madagascar, and named Caerostris darwini. The spider is famous for its homemade nets are so big and long and strong. Spider webs can span up to 25 meters.

One example, he can stretch over a river in Madagascar by more than 30 insects trapped in the net. Not only long, but the cobwebs are also two times more potent than other spider webs and 10 times stronger than kevlar material the same size.

3. bacteria Titanic

This is a bacteria found by scientists from Dalhousie University in Canada and the University of Sevilla Spain on the wreck of RMS Titanic.

Bacteria with the Latin name Halomonas titanicae it consumes iron and steel, was found embedded in the surface remains of the Titanic which sank in the Atlantic Ocean.

4. Sierra Madre lizard

Commonly called golden leopard lizard or iguana Sierra Madre Forest, a giant lizard is found in the forests of Sierra Madre in the Philippines island of Luzon.

Monitor lizard Varanus bitatawa's Latin name, weighs about 10 kg and a length of about 2 meters, and the daily spend time in trees and eating fruit.

5. leeches Tiran

Leeches are found in Peru, the lining of the nasal cavity of a person. Has a length of 5 cm, blood-sucking animal has a single jaw and large teeth.

He called Tyrannobdella rex (meaning king tyrant leech). At least now there are 700 species of leeches that have been studied. It is estimated there are more than 10 thousand species of leech in the world.

6. Underwater mushrooms

Scientists discover new species of fungus that can live under water. Fungus named Psathyrella aquatica living in the Rogue River Oregon River United States. Miraculously, this mushroom has gills and can bear fruit in the water.

7. bioluminescent fungi

These glowing mushrooms found in the Atlantic forest habitat and collected in Sao Paulo Brazil. This little mushroom is less than 8 mm in diameter with a cap diameter that is smaller than 2 cm.

It has a rod coated by the gel, and capable of casting light yellowish green. Professor of Biology from San Francisco State University who discovered this fungus, Dennis Desjardin named this species Mycena luxaeterna (eternal light).

It is estimated there are about 1.5 million species on earth. Only 71 of them which is a fungus that can berrcahaya.
