saoneFound: the giant lion-eating chimps of the magic forest
The most detailed and recent data comes from Cleve Hicks, at the University of Amsterdam, who has spent 18 months in the field watching the Bili apes - named after a local town - since 2004. His team's most striking find came after one of his trackers heard chimps calling for several days from the same spot.
When he investigated he came across a chimp feasting on the carcass of a leopard. Mr Hicks cannot be sure the animal was killed by the chimp, but the find lends credence to the apes' lion-eating reputation.
Rediscovered: Attenborough's 'extinct' egg-laying mammal
A species of mammal that lays eggs and suckles its young in a pouch has been rediscovered in the jungles of Papua New Guinea, nearly 50 years after it was seen for the first and last time.
Rare giant squid washed up in Australia
One of the largest giant squid ever found has washed up on a remote Australian beach, sparking a race against time by scientists to examine the rarely seen deep-ocean creature.
The squid, the mantle or main body of which measured two-meters (6.5 feet) long, was found by a walker late on Tuesday on Ocean Beach, near Strahan, on the western coast of island state Tasmania.
6.5 FEET!!! That's bigger than Sam!
Speaking of the Winchesters, I wonder if they should investigate this...
Religious Book Seller Struck By Lightning
This is the second incident in as many months of someone being struck down by lightning from a clear sky in South Florida.
As we all know, so much effed up stuff happens in Florida (TM Dean).
