The Song: Barry White is Magic

The Sea Life London Aquarium has just upped its antics to try and mate zebra sharks!!

So the story broken down is this:

• Mazawabee= single, "lonely," female zebra shark
• Zorro= renown "ladie's man," male zebra shark--hailing from Belgium
• Barry White= awesome singer/songwrite with SOUL POWER (and a moving deep, bass voice) of the 70's
• Zorro so far has not lived up to his expectations...so the Aquarium people are trying a little something different, such as some awesome tunes to try and get everyone in the mood...
• If that doesn't work, they say they will switch to Marvin Gaye!

The Solved: Mysteries Unveiled

While hopping around my tumblr blog, I saw a link which led to an article titles " The Truth Behind 5 'real' Monsters that fooled the Internet." And it turns out that the myths addressed are actually ones that I've heard of before. Now days technology does wonders, especially with the advancement in photoshopping. Combine that with the witty, selfish, lying man...and what do you get?? MONSTER MYTHS!!

WELL HERE'S THE TRUTH:

1. The Montauk Monster Carcass: originally a monster that looks similar to Japan's water monster+monk, it became quite interesting when a "carcus" rolled onto shore and had people claiming it as the Montauk Monster.
---> Answer: simply a decomposing racoon which had lost all its fur from being in water (kind of YUCK when you get the image in your head!!)


2. The Moscow Monster: legend of a while meets the dinosaur long neck. When a decomposing carcus found near the sea seemed to have the exact head shape of the Moscow Monster, it got people talking
---> Answer: decomposing baluga whale! (strange how decomposition is misleading)


3. The "Chupacabra": Kind of the description of a wolf with a long, narrow snout, or a large coyote which also supposedly have some strange traits of a reptile. Also suppose to suck blood out of innocent animals and children around the globe.
---> Answer: hybrid coyote or coyote with bad, BAD skin disease.



4. Body of Bigfoot: Bigfoot is LEGENDARY, however, no one ever found a carcus of it...UNTIL noooow. (say whaaaa??)
--->Anwser: two police officers (who are supposed to be upholding honor, trust etc.) Actually bought a costume...then stuffed it, and including some guts!! genius~




5. The SewerCam Creature: a "creature" filled with goo and dripping weird wetness that looks as though it will eat you alive!
--->Answer: tubifex worms, aka sewage worms...are organisms who eat sediments, and actually started to coil around each other, creating a globe like "slime creature."

The Small: extra extra mini horse

While browsing facebook, one of my friends linked an interesting story that I thought I'd share with you guys. It's the most fantastical, yet weirdly minute story: the story of Koda.

Koda is an American Miniature horse who also happened to be born a dwarf. What this means is that on top of the already small stature on the breed, Koda is actually a "mini-mini horse." Size extra small please!

Normal American Miniatures cannot exceed 34 inches to be considered a full American Miniature. Now compare this to Koda who is a whopping 59cm tall (roughly 23 inches) in fact, Koda is often mistaken as a robotic, stuffed animal horse...strange!

Veterinarians were orginially going to euthenize Koda, as the hose has nurmous health issues includding a jaw too small for all its teeth and extensive leg problems...all of which need surgical measures to correct. However, the veterinary technician on hand felt for the little guy and decided to give him a fight chance! (woohoo, yay Koda!)

Now days Koda is enjoying the life of a full time pet and gets to relax with a companion closer to its own size: the veterinary cat :)
