There Vampire squid in the Deep Sea, Vacuum Blood
No deep-sea squid species called vampire squid. Scientists have long wanted to know how the animals that live in these dark waters to reproduce. It turned out very different from the squid generally.If the squid generally lay one time, squid vampire named latin Vampyroteuthis infernalis this fact can lay eggs up to more than 100 times. That the results of a study published in the journal Current Biology.
This difference is expected as a result of low-energy lifestyle in the waters in an almost unattainable light.
According to Henk-Jan Hoving from the Helmholtz Centre for Ocean Research Kiel, possibility vampire squid do not have enough energy to spawn all their eggs at once.
The transparent bodied animals living in the deep ocean and did not live long in the shelter, so it is difficult for scientists to record behavior.
When the vampire squid Hoving study collection at the Museum of Natural History Santa Barbara, he found something unusual. Squid generally spawn once a lifetime. But the female vampire squid apparently had oocytes survive to produce more eggs.
Furthermore, Hoving rate it has to do with the age of the vampire squid he calls longer than usual squid. This is because their habitat make this squid has a phase of life is slower, because it does not require a high metabolism, and do not need high-calorie foods.
But little is known of the animal this one. As in the animal kingdom itself, there are still many species that have not been revealed.
Since 2006, according to the Christian Science Monitor notes, there are 18 thousand new species discovered. It is estimated that there are 10 million other species unknown outside.
Not BloodsuckerVampire squid gets its name from the shape of the 'terrible'. The color is dark, membrane like a cape in the tentacles, and his eyes were red, makes it called "Vampire Squid from Hell".
But this is not the squid bloodsucking animals such as vampires.
In taxonomy, it belongs to a different order of squid shallow waters, which is of the order Vampyromorphida. This squid including phylogenetic relic because it is the only species left of the order.
In 1903, the vampire squid was originally classified as an octopus by German scientists. But then he put in order Vampyromorphida, which has several species but extinct.

Why Snails Running Slow and Removing Liquid
SNAIL - certainly is not foreign to our ears, the majority of people that came to mind was the slowest animal in the world. This is sometimes a slow nets, others are often called the slug. But you know why the snail running very slowly? How does a snail's pace when walking? and why did he discharge when running ?? rather than confused, we just consider the following explanation.
Snail is slow due to the different legs of the human foot and other animals. Her legs is actually an organ that consists of muscles. The shape is flat, elongated, and located at the very bottom of its body.
Fluid is expelled snail slime. Mucus comes from glands in the body, it serves slime lubricate and moisturize the feet so that he could easily walk. Mucus also protects the body from injury by sharp objects. Understandably, snails sometimes walking on tree branches are sharp and can be perched on the blade.
Based on research, snails only have a maximum speed of 0.03 miles per hour. Assuming, 1 mile is equal to 1.609344 km, meaning a snail is only able to walk up to the extent of 1.34 cm in 1 minute. This record makes the snails as the slowest animal in the world. While the second slowest animal strapped to a giant tortoise with a speed of 0.13 to 0.30 miles per hour.
With the speed of it, the snail becomes very easy to catch since prehistoric times. Snails belong to the soft animals (molluscs) of the class Gastropoda which means running with the stomach. Slugs or snails are animals that originated in East Africa. Although running very slow, snails are very easy to breed. As a result, snail spread to all regions of the world.

Know the Jaguar, Cat strongest in the Americas
Jaguar is one of the big cats (Panthera) that still exist today. Its appearance is similar to a leopard, but Jaguar is a different species, because the leopard is the species Panthera pardus, while Jaguar is a species of Panthera Onca.
Jaguar is the only Panthera species found in the Americas. They are the third largest cat species after the tiger and lion. And is the largest in the Western Hemisphere.
Jaguar deployment includes the southern US and Mexico, most of the Americas and Central and Southern parts of Paraguay and Argentina to the northern part. But Jaguar is estimated to have gone extinct in the United States since the beginning of the 20th century.
Leopard pattern on their bodies is very similar to a leopard, but Jaguar tend to be larger, and also have characteristics more similar to a tiger. The most preferred habitat of a jaguar is the dense rain forest areas (dense rainforest).
Jaguars are solitary animals (solitary). They will wander off alone except for a female jaguar who care for their children. They are the pinnacle of the food chain in their territory. So that they play an important role in maintaining the forest ecosystem to ensure the availability of game animals.
Jaguar has a dependency with water that is strong enough, so they tend to stay in areas close to the river flow. They also include a large cat who likes to swim.
Jaguar has a very strong bite. The strength of the bite can penetrate layers of tortoise shell and allows it to kill its prey with an unusual method. They will bite and crush the skull prey and give a fatal brain injury prey.
Jaguar populations are currently in endangered status. The amount continues to decline. This is mainly due to the narrowing of their habitat which impact on food shortages. They also are often killed by humans, mainly due to a conflict with farmers in South America. However, although the number has declined, its spread is quite wide, it is estimated that the amount is still quite a lot in the wild.
Just as an aside, Jaguar is a symbol of the god of the Mayans. And they are the strongest stray cat in the Americas.
Animals Hyena Turns Ever Human Prey
Human hair has been found in hyena poo showing that these animals never takes ancestors in Africa about 250,000 years over lalu.Rambut found in a fossil found in the Sterkfontein Valley caves Gladysvale in South Africa. Researchers from the University of Witwatersrand believe that hyenas actively hunted carcass our ancestors or scavenged dead bodies. Another hair shows that hyenas share their environment with warthogs, zebra, impala and kudu, as well as hominins.
Human hair has been identified in fossil hyena poo on a finding that suggests that our ancestors had also fallen prey to this wild animal.
The fossil was discovered a few years ago in a cave Gladysvale in South Africa, but only -new has been analyzed by the scientists who identified the hair.
African researchers believe that hyenas actively also consuming our ancestors who lived around 257,000 years ago or scavenged some of the bodies and swallow the hair.
But according to reports Discoveru News, they do not rule out that the animal is only a tasting snack human hair found somewhere.
According to researchers at the University of Witwatersrand, dung fossils are part of a "hyena latrine" found in a cave in South Africa Sterkfontein Valley.
Gladysvale is a cave complex systems consisting of several basement reached the depth of about 65 meters.
Phillip Taru and Lucinda Backwell, author of the study published in the Journal of Archaeological Science, said that the brown hyena explore savanna grasslands as they do today.
Another hair indicate that these animals share their environment with warthogs, zebra, impala and kudu, as well as hominin ancestors or tribes in Africa. The scientists focused on the examination pattern of scale and cross-section of hair to identify fossil hair.
The researchers said: "The lack of hair scales have been documented in human hair subject to pathology.
They even suggested that our ancestors had a lot of hair damaged by abrasion due to inhabit crevices of rocks that could reduce the number of scales were found in the hair.
A total of 48 hairs were taken from 12 fossil using fine tweezers and examined using a scanning electron microscope.
They identified the origin of the hair using standard guidelines and compared with a sample collection of 15 mammal of southern Africa.
These findings support earlier identification of fossils of human hair and gives scientists a better picture of the Middle Pleistocene mammals local communities, as well as insight into the environment in which humans appear archaic and modern humans who live in the interior of the African continent.

Video: Sea Horse Male Birth Baby Hundreds Simultaneously
Sea horse is a unique animal. Not only because of its shape alone. Seahorses do not have the teeth and stomach, monogamy, and the charge of giving birth is a male sea horse.
The male has a belly pouch. When mating, the female sea horse put up to 1500 eggs into the pouch. The process of fertilization occurs internally. The inner lining of the stomach pouch filled with blood vessels, and sea horses male fertilizes the eggs become embryos.
The male containing eggs for 9-45 days, until the embryo develops into a baby seahorse the size is still very small. Then, the babies are born in the water. Can be seen in the video, how the male sea horse as if sprayed hundreds of babies out of the stomach pouch, average number of babies born between 100 and 1000.
After delivery, the role of the male sea horse has been completed. In fact, sea horses often directly remarried within a few hours or days in the breeding season.
The video was filmed at The Deep, public aquariums and research facilities in Hull, England. The Deep help couples sea horses to breed. To that end, the couple dittempatkan sea horses in the quarantine tank. After the babies were born, they moved to a better facility.
Many sea horses, as shown in this video, including the categories of animals which are vulnerable by the IUCN Red List. The population continued to decline to 20% in the last 10 years. This is due to habitat destruction, pollution, and illegal trade to be used as a traditional medicine in Asia.
Cannibal IN CHICKEN
At this time breeder chicken super / excel been free of disease if careful attention and mempraktekanya after reading read this blog, just tesisa problem cannibals, cannibals in question is how where chicken bites another chicken and this fatal cause of death, kalopun life would wound tolerable if we are not observant, be due to lack of feeding, but it is to cannibalism types of chicken is very high
Usually this cannibal in the back of the chicken, how to avoid it? :
- Chicken can be cut lung (1 to 2 milli meters)
- Reduce lighting the lamp because it may be too bright.
- By giving cassava in small pieces - small.
- By mengantung papaya (3hari sekalikarena when its frequency will result in hair loss) hanging kale, hanging plant leaf valve which essentially leaves vitamin, har most excellent is highly recommended because it can provide a good structure for chicken meat.
In exerting our delivery standards is the last option, because many value plus its course with regard peneranganya lighting or the use of lights. ... ok bro ga may already exist persolan again
If for cannibal victim must be separated and given a drug, many ps adjust the medicine or medicine tradisiolan
Then apasih the cause Cannibalism? bit penjelasanya as follows:
- It could be the number of chickens in a cage that is too dense, it can lead to increased room temperature, so that the chickens will scramble to get a comfortable place. In looking for a comfortable place, a chicken will do the cannibalism (fight) to get such a comfortable place
- It could also be due to different age because the uniformity of the age of cattle is very important, most of the more mature chickens will attack chickens younger, it is fatal if the current pematukan the eyes or other organs that cause disability.
- The temperature of the enclosure, the enclosure temperature is too moist will cause birds to become stressed. This could lead to cannibalism because chickens trying to release body heat by finding a comfortable place, the ideal temperature is 330 c
- Well this is a common by-word "save more money" kurangannya where food and can trigger cannibalism, because chickens would scramble to eat or drink. The nature of chickens will be vying for food. They will peck each other if a little feed.
In simple terms this probably all can we know what is the cause of cannibalism so tetep vigilant, carefully and continuously raising course
Recognize characteristics Pregnant Rabbits

Cone snail venom
Hundreds of toxins
There are about 500-600 species of cone snails. Everything is toxic. Well, the cone snail can have about 200 types of toxins. So, imagine if all kinds of toxins from cone snail species put together. Thus, it can be collected tens of thousands of types of poison!

| Cone snail venom |
The most toxic
Among the species of cone snails, one of the most toxic. He is the geographic cone snail. Conus geographus scientific name. Oops preferably, do not go near the geographic cone snail is, deh!
Toxic harpoon
Cone snail venom lies in organ-like harpoons. The harpoon fishing gear like a shot arrow. Well, when it was ready to attack its prey, venomous cone snails harpoon issuing from his mouth. Install a blink of the helpless, and the direct cone snails devoured round!
Human victims
Cone snail venom is not only deadly to animals, such as fish. Toxins that also claimed the lives of humans. There are already dozens of human casualties as a result of toxins that are super dangerous. Until now, there has been no cone snail venom antidote!
