- by in Headline, Oddities, Trappings

So this crocodile attacked its water filter in a fit of crocodylian pique. According to Discovery News, there are various hypotheses about what in the animal’s tank might have made it turn orange, but nobody knows for sure. Pretty certain it is something which got into the water or into the crocodile as a result [...]

New Jersey Candygram Shark Sightings

- by in Headline, Oddities

So, Snopes and various other there-is-no-Santa-Claus-dot-com sites are reporting that sharks are not actually swimming around people’s yards in New Jersey. For some reason, I find this awfully disappointing. I mean, I have a lot of friends on the East Coast and I would be very sad if one of them were actually, ya know, [...]

Would you want a glow-in-the-dark dog?

- by in Headline, Oddities

Some medical research mad scientists in Korea recently announced that they had genetically modified a dog to glow in the dark. The beagle Tegon’s special ability is not an always thing. Tegon has to be fed doxycycline in order to glow. I don’t know about beagles, but I’ve had to take doxy antibiotics before and [...]

Giant Wombat

Scientists in Queensland, Australia just discovered the first complete skeleton of diprotodon. Diprotodon is believed to have been much like a giant wombat, as you can see in this artist’s reconstruction from the Australian Museum, photographed by James King. For some reason, I had vaguely thought that wombats were rodents, but they are actually marsupials [...]

Check out the National Geographic gallery of this rare pink hippo. Apparently having leucism is actually a sort of technically more extreme form of being an albino model, but it tends to manifest as a more mild condition.

Katherine Dorsett at CNN reported today that the Chestatee Wildlife Preserve, in Bumfuck Dahlonega, Georgia, now features a zedonk. Preserve founder C.W.
