I didn’t know if baby bats was so cute like this. These orphaned baby fruit bats are being raised at a rescue centre after a plague of poisonous ticks swept through their colony. Used to snuggling up to their mothers, they need to be kept warm and are fed through teats with a sugary liquid full of nutrients.

Hey, I never see how baby bats looks before. After I saw this picture, then I’m wondering why the bats in my village was not cute like this. Then I start thinking is the bats in the picture above cute because they eat fruits? And maybe the bats in my village looking so bad because they suck blood?

We never know….

Dogs are pack animals & they are social animals therefore, they need to work as a team in order to survive their everyday life. A dog is an embodiment of unconditional, unselfish love. When you own a dog, you don’t own a pet, you own a friend. Unfortunately, I don’t have a dog because one of my neighbour is phobia with a dog. It’s just my pure intention to respect them as a good neighbour.

But starting next year, I think I will get a dog for myself because I will shift to my new house. Yup, I am planning to get a nice companion for me and I know that boston terriers dog will be the perfect choice. The reason for me to adopt them because they are known to be high energy dogs. I need this type of dog because my new house has a big backyard and it will be great when we can spend together our time everyday.

Eventhough the size of boston terrier dog is not big compared to the rest, but they make really good family dogs. In fact, I don’t need to buy them a big size of dog bed. It just be fine with the little cute bed and once, I can imagine how cute they are when they get to the drive-through window.

So, when you and your family make the decision to bring a new pet into your lives?

How did it happen?
I think this is a very funny case that I’ve ever seen. I don’t have to say much because I think you know what is actually happen here.

Actually, a fisherman found a fish in waters off the South Coast of Grand Cayman that had swallowed another fish more than four times its size. The name of the fisherman is McPherson “Dorson” Wright’s.

The story began when his attention was drawn to an object floating on the surface nearby. The fish, aptly named the Great Swallower, was just 7.5 inches in length. The fish it had eaten measured 34 inches, which is close to three feet in length. Now that’s what I called WEIRD!

It’s not even a week after I put the entry of new fossil of dinosour, here is another great found by another scientists at Celebes Sea south of the Philippines. The scientists led by Dr Larry Madin explored one of the world’s deep ocean basins in search of organisms that may have been isolated there for millions of years.

For you information, the team were able to explore to a depth of 2,800 metres (9,186 feet) using a remotely operated camera. The deepest part of the sea is 5,000 metres (16,500 feet). This is a good effort from them because it’s not an easy task to do. If you want to look for other pictures, there will be another 3 pictures after the jump.

This is one of the hottest discovery for the year. Last week, Argentine and Brazilian paleontologists announced the discovery of a new species of dinosaur. This herbivorous species measured 105 to 112 feet in length and was the height of a four story building. I’m also still not get the whole picture or how it look like because this new species never been exposed to the public.

Anyway, you should watch this video because it’s rare to see this kind of fossil and the video itself has a good quality of picture.

For cane toads the scourge of Australia’s vast north, spreading farther and faster is literally backbreaking work. The toads that jump—and thus populate new territory—the fastest are more likely to be larger and have longer legs. But this advantage also has a drawback: up to 10 percent of the biggest invasive toads suffer from arthritis, a new study says.

The large, yellow toads, native to South and Central America, were introduced into the northeastern state of Queensland in northern Australia in 1935 in an attempt to stop cane beetles from devastating sugarcane crops.

Now up to 200 million of the poisonous toads exist in the country, and they are rapidly spreading west through the state of Northern Territory at a rate of up to 37 miles (60 kilometers) a year.

The toads haves severely impacted ecosystems in Australia. Predators—and sometimes pets—that eat toads die immediately from their poison, and the toads themselves feast on any animal they can fit in their mouths. Cane toads also compete with native frogs for habitat.

Meet Tetley, the little piggy the size of a cup of tea. Tetley is the smallest of a litter of eight piglets born to his mum, Poppy Two Socks. After several false pregnancies the miniature pig gave birth to her brood at Pennywell Farm in Buckfastleigh, Devon. And Tetley, clearly keen on a cuppa himself, has grown no taller than three inches high and five inches long.

Boy Is She Cute!
Meet Zoo’s Latest Addition Baby pygmy chimpanzee Mali was born at San Diego zoo on September 4. She had a difficult birth and zoo vets were worried she may not pull through – but with care she is growing, eating, and gaining weight. I don’t understand why some people dare to kill this species just for their skin.

If only I can have this cute chimpanzi in my house, definitely I will build one special mini house for him!

This is the most amazing footprint fossil that have been been found so far. Dr Phil Manning, of Manchester University, believes the 29 inch long mark was made by the flesh-eating giant as it stomped over a prehistoric floodplain more than 65 million years ago.He found the print last year during a field trip to the Hell Creek rock formation in Montana. Two other partial dinosaur footprints lie close by.

Although other scientists have claimed to have unearthed T. rex prints before, their claims have been impossible to prove. Actually, in the early 1990s, scientists announced they had found a T. rex print in new Mexico. However, the researchers found no bones nearby and the identity of the prints has been disputed.

The prints were formed when the weight of the dinosaur squeezed together clay below the muddy surface of the floodplain. The resulting print shape was so compacted, it became tougher than the surrounding stone.
