When Animals Pay Unexpected Visits To The City

September 4th 2009 02:41

Wild animals and urban areas don't mix, for a variety of reasons. When they do it can end in tears - for all those involved.
However sometimes unusual animals live in the city as pets, and will turn a few heads when taken for a walk! Today the Daily Telegraph takes a look at urban animals of all shapes, sizes and origins. See a few more pictures here.

Deadly Animals

July 22nd 2009 02:40

If going on summer holidays, especially to a country you're not familiar with, it's important to gain un understanding of the local wildlife and dangers associated with them.
AMOG.com has put together a list containing 10 Animals to Watch Out For This Summer (Because They Might Kill You). Here is a sample of what to look out for in and around the water.

Saltwater Crocodile

Indigenous to Australia, these crocs vary in size, but the average weight is about 1,000 pounds and the average length is about twelve feet. Males get quite a bit larger than the females and a good sized one can weigh about 3,000 pounds and be about 20 feet long. So, just from their appearance, they’re intimidating. These crocodiles not only attack creatures in the water, but also outside of the water. Basically, there’s no safe place.

Considered an ambush predator, it’s true that they would most likely prey on a smaller animal than a human, but the larger crocs (especially the males) will attack and consume humans, and at times larger animals. If you were to get attacked by a saltwater crocodile, your chances of death far outweigh your chances of survival and the frequency of attacks on humans vary depending on the area.

Stonefish

The stonefish hangs out in the southern tropics around coral reef areas. However, when they’re dormant, they bury themselves in mud or sand. The venom of these creatures is found in their spiny dorsal fins. What makes this so dangerous is that due to their yellow-brown colour, they look like rocks when they’re not moving, so it is possible to step on one.

The severity of the damage depends upon how deep the spines went and how many penetrated your skin. Symptoms include swelling of the tissues, extreme pain, muscle weakness, temporary paralysis, and even death.

Blue-Ringed Octopus

Would you believe that the number one creature on the list is only 2 to 4 inches long and weighing about an ounce? It’s true, but the venom in this tiny octopus is so potent that it will first paralyse then will kill a human in mere minutes with one bite. What makes this even more dangerous is that there’s no known antidote for the venom.

The good news is that this animal isn’t very aggressive. It will attack humans when provoked, for instance if the creature is picked up or stepped on. However, its brownish-yellowish colour allows it to blend in with its surroundings. These sea creatures are found in the Pacific Ocean anywhere from Japan to Australia.

Box Jellyfish

A box jellyfish lives in the waters of Northern Australia and in other parts of the Indian and Pacific oceans. This sea animal has four distinct sides and sort of looks like a box; hence the name “box jellyfish”. These creatures don’t sting due to touch. Instead their venom is excreted to attack prey.

To humans, the stings can be extremely painful. In fact, the sting is so painful, that if you happened to survive, you’d be in pain for weeks; possibly even months. The likelihood of you surviving a box jellyfish sting is unlikely though. Chances are that if you’re stung, your body would go into shock and perhaps even heart failure.

Great White Shark

This intimidating looking animal stretches between 13 and 16 feet long with a mass of anywhere from 1,500 to 2,400 pounds. Unlike many animals, in great white sharks the females are traditionally larger than the males. Since these massive creatures are carnivorous, they’re deadly to many other sea creatures; however, not so much to humans.

Two Headed Snakes

December 19th 2008 11:06

Although rare, it is known for animals to be born with two heads. It has even happened to large farm animals such as two-headed cows, sheep and pigs. However, these animals normally only survive for a short time.
On the other hand, two headed reptiles have been known to live for as long as 20 years. There are a number of two headed snakes on display in zoos and even private residences around the world. As they share one body it doesn't matter which head eats, but owners try to feed both heads so neither feels left out.
