Octopus - Intelligent and Flexible Animal

I didn’t have slightest idea that octopi (that’s the plural of octopus) are such intelligent and extremely flexible animals. In my next life I want to be an octopus. I mean I love cats, but seeing how insanely intelligent octopi are, and how incredibly they’re equipped with many slick arms and flexibility that would make a cat steam with envy - I want to be an octopus.

The video below is a document by scientists testing the intelligence of octopi. They’re literally running IQ tests on an octopus they have. And behold, each of the IQ tests has been passed with ease. Octopus is an extremely intelligent animal. And then when I saw insane flexibility an octopus sports - OMG, I want to be an octopus.

Octopi can grow into virtually unlimited size. There is no wonder sailors and pirates from the past had stories of Kraken and other crazy creatures of the sea. Single octopus with its intelligence and flexibility could own a ship with its crew easily. I’m in awe.

Snakehead Fish are aggressive predator fish native to Asia that somehow made their way to New York and started their merciless slaughter of native species in Catlin Creek and Ridgebury Lake. Officials had to take drastic measures and poisoned the water in both the creek and the lake with pesticides to eliminate unwanted Snakehead Fish.

New York biologists say Catlin Creek and Ridgebury Lake were invaded by Northern Snakehead Fish and action was needed before they could spread to other state’s bodies of water. Organic pesticide Rotenone was used to poison Snakehead Fish and so far the biologists found 220 of them dead throughout Orange County.

Poisoning of Catlin Creek and Ridgebury Lake in the town of Wawayanda also claimed lives of eight tons of other fish, but drastic measures were necessary to prevent bigger disaster. 1400 native fish were removed from the water prior to application of Rotenone. All of them will be returned to their natural habitat after the organic pesticide completely dissipated.

Snakehead Fish are an aggressive predator of native fishes and swift action was required in order to prevent their spread to the Wallkill and Hudson rivers. So far it looks like the action was fruitful.

Cuero in Dewitt County, Texas is Chupacabra capital of the world. Last Friday, Cpl. Brandon Riedel - one of their cops on duty went to patrol the back roads when he spotted a strange creature running in front of his car. He turned on the on board cam that police cruisers have mounted and recorded what could become a real video of a real chupacabra.

Chupacabra recorded on the video in Cuero is about a size of coyote but it’s hairless and has prolonged snout. It looked remarkably similar to the creature that was found on shore in Montauk, NY last month or the one from Peru found last year. In former case the DNA tests proved the creature was a Brazilian pig, in latter it was some form of coyote. No real mystical chupacabra yet but this last one from Cuero, Texas has not been caught yet.

Whether Cuero is home to real chupacabra, or just mutant coyotes remains mystery.

This is nuts. Giant Alligator, a North Australian Crocodile snaps at a turtle with his jaws and crushes it with ease like it has no shell. It got a little bit crunchy, but the powerful jaws of an alligator had no issue destroying the turtle before eating it. Actually, he just swallowed it. They’ve got giant neck, they just sort of slide it through.

Seriously, don’t mess with an alligator. I wouldn’t want to get hose sharp teeth and powerful jaws to bite anywhere on me. It’d snap in an instant. Damn…

An incredible video of a bunny rabbit defending itself, its turf and its pride against a flock of aggressive crows was recorded by an unknown individual and posted on YouTube. Outnumbered, little bunny rabbit goes right against the crows fighting bravely and tirelessly and it looks like he actually busted one of the crows so bad, it’s on the brink of dying. The one that’s right against the wall doesn’t look good. Bunny probably deployed his carrot sharpened teeth and bit crow’s beak off. The crow still could be saved. Some good people once found a bald eagle in Alaska that had her beak shot off and saved her. If i found an injured crow somewhere, I’d totally save her and have her rest on my shoulder. I’d buy myself a long trench coat, put make up on and have my name changed to Eric Draven. I’d get best seat in the bus that way

The world has a new Ugliest Dog. Chinese Crested Dog Gus won 2008 contest aimed at rewarding the World’s Ugliest Dog.

Gus only has one eye and three legs and suffers form skin cancer. His tongue ceremoniously hangs out of his mouth even as he rests in the arms of Jeanenne Teed - his owner. Gus was clearly crowd’s favorite but it wasn’t an easy contest. All 15 contestants were many sorts of “ugly”, each in their own way, but once the guy gets past initial detest, there is a lot of beauty to be found in those pugs. I betcha they can pull serious puppy eyes at you when hey want to play. How could you resist those eyes?

The world’s ugliest dog contest is held annually at the Sonoma-Marin Fair in Petaluma, California. Check out –> pictures of world’s ugliest dogs winners from previous here and compare them to Gus. Who would get your vote?

Don’t mess with the ants. I mean, seriously, they are crazy. Look at this insane time lapse video of dead gecko getting swarmed by the ants, eaten to the last cell of flesh and then getting completely taken apart, bone after bone and carried away. Insanity. If ants got pissed off with everybody, they could sort us out like we wouldn’t believe.

This gets me thinking - if you exhume a person that’s been buried for some time and you find nothing in the coffin - look at the closest anthill. You may find the collection of bones in their kingdom.

This is an absolutel insane video of a European Elk, also known as Moose being eaten b Black Bear but still alive. At one point it tries to stand up but falls again becuase the injuries caused by massive Bear teeth are so severe, Moose can’t recover. Poor Moose is then kicking its legs as Bear merilessly takes one bite after another of its fresh flesh. This is the nature at its best, the predator wins and only kills in order for himself to survive.

The video was filme in Arjeplog area in Northern Sweden. Some people may find it shocking and disturbing, but don’t hold it against the bear. They are beautiful creatures, just as moose are. They don’t kill for pleasure like men. Bear was following its instrincts and this fight ended in his favor. If you find yourself upset after watching this video, chek out bear Maeuschen and his friendship with cat Muschi from Berlin Zoo.

This is a very rare video of a very rare creature - a Sea Dragon. They are absolutely spectacular and the look just plain mind blowing.

Leafy Sea Dragon as seen in the video here is the only member of the family Phycodurus - Phycodurus eques. Filmed at the Chicago Aquarium, these Sea Dragons are native to Australian shallow sea shores. Leafy protrusions are there solely for the sake of camouflage and do not function as means of movement.

With approaching Father’s Day, another species of this rare creature - a Weedy Sea Dragon at the Georgia Aquarium is pregnant. Just as it is with Sea Horses and Pipe Fish, it’s male Sea Dragons who carry the eggs and bring offspring to life. This will be the third time in the US that a Sea Dragon would give birth. It’s a very rare a special occasion that could not have been timed better.

Who exactly name Oscar “The World’s Ugliest Bird“?

Oscar is a cockatoo that suffers form beak and feather disease affecting her immune system. Despite her boyish name, Oscar is a girl and her disease causes irritation as her feathers grow so she ends up plucking them all out. The few feathers she still has left on her head are there still because she can’t reach them. But they cause discomfort just as any other feather on her body.

The beak and feather disease will eventually affect her beak and nail and that will be her time. Until then, Oscar remains the permanent resident of Humane Society of Broward County where she dances and entertains everybody.

That presenter looks like she’s a serious beast in bed. She must suck mean cock.
