moonwalking bird [08 Jul 2008|11:55pm] wtf_nature [blueberryeyes17] I am watching the Best of Nature on Netflix, and they showed this amazing little bird. The mannikin is pretty unremarkable except for it's mating dance... it moonwalks! I checked the tags and didn't see it. (Ignore the people talking and laughing, it's pretty obnoxious.) This is from Encyclopedia Britannica: Mannikins are finchlike birds, mostly brownish and often with black throats and fine barring. Large flocks occur in open country from Africa to Australia. Many are popular cage birds. The 9-centimetre (3.5-inch) bronze mannikin (L. cucullata) has large communal roosts in Africa; it has been introduced into Puerto Rico, where it is called hooded weaver. Abundant in southern Asia are the nutmeg mannikin (L. punctulata), also called spice finch or spotted munia, and the striated mannikin (L. striata), also called white-backed munia. The former is established in Hawaii, where it is called ricebird. A domestic strain of the latter is called Bengal finch. 10 | add

New Species of Squid? [09 Jul 2008|01:44am] wtf_nature [sitiomania] [ mood | curious ] Or an old one in new positions? Watch this video and tell me what you think! I realize it's a myspace video so how much credit you give is entirely up to you. However, I think it's worth a quick look at least. http://vids.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=vids.individual&VideoID=37523121 I don't know how many of us have heard of the Colossal Squid, but some information is under the cut. Here's a link to the Shell Purdido Project, which is how this footage was recorded. http://www.shell.com/home/content/aboutshell/our_strategy/major_projects_2/perdido/perdido_13032008.html ( Not an Unspeakable Horror.

Tree spirit [09 Jul 2008|09:46am] wtf_nature [ass_] The first thing I thought was, "It's Jesus," LOL. A commenter on the story apparently thought the same thing. %^) Meet the tree with a face Is it a demon? A new Doctor Who monster? A bit of rubbish art? No, it's a section of an oak tree branch that looks like a human face. Sort of. The face-tree was brought into the Daily Times newspaper in Maryville, Tennessee on Monday, by Ernest Ward, a groundskeeper at the local Magnolia Cemetery. Ward said it was found on Monday as he and co-workers cleaned up debris from a weekend storm. According to him, a former worker at the cemetery believes the face is a spirit. 5 | add

Это огромный косяк сардин, по некоторым оценкам достигающий длины в 15км, мигрирующий каждую зиму вдоль юго-восточного побережья ЮАР. Причины этой миграции до сих пор точно науке неизвестны. ( дальше ) So what Sardine Run is all about ? It is huge school of sardines, some estimate 15 km long, migrating along Wild Coast every year at winter for the reasons not completely understood by science yet. ( Read more... ) 6 | add
