Joke: Chimps

Chimps can match up the faces of group members with photos of their behinds. The
ability, researchers say, shows that chimps carry around mental representations with
"whole body" detail of chimps they have encountered.
Primatologists Frans de Waal and Jennifer Pokorny of the Yerkes National Primate
Research Centre at Emory University in Atlanta, Georgia, tested how well six adult
chimpanzees could link pictures of various chimpanzee behinds, either male or female,
with photos of individual chimp faces.
They showed a chimp, first, a photo of a chimp's behind, including genitals, then the faces
of two chimps, both of the same sex as that behind. Each of three male and three female
chimps were able to make the correct face-with-behind pairing with a probability
significantly higher than chance.
perhaps we might all upload photos of our butts onto E cards and send them out so that
we can recognize each other when we meet?

Nature: Disappearing Rabbit Trick

I found this picture on the internet. It was a really amazing picture...

Follow the rabbit tracks. BAM! The tracks suddenly end where the wing prints of an owl start.

Nature: What killed the Sloth

The following links are quite interesting to watch.

The sloth, being my favourite creature, is not so easily taken down - free the trees that is. If you watch the video you can see why a sloth was found dead on the forest floor, and what it was doing there.

Nature: Otters holding hands

Here is a great video of some otters holding hands. Why did I put it? Because it entertained me.

It's a pretty decent video, but only about 10 to 15 seconds need to be watched to get the idea. And the audio of "awww" and "oh look at that" was a bit too vocal for me.

Joke: Spray paint the Sloth Green

Here is another really funny video link. Sorry but I can't embed this one. But seeing a green sloth, well thats worth it.

(I didn't know they came in green...)

Joke: Who told you penguins don't fly

Now I saw this little video browsing through the net, and just had to show you how good it was.

Basically, its a specially breed of penguins. And these penguins fly!
