While not exactly a new critter this little mole is a great find: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-australia-68720246 Swims through sand - how many of us as little kids faced with a really dry sandy beach tried to swim on it? As for the lizard near the end of the piece - I just hope nobody finds one of those lurking under the sheets at the foot of their bed...

Elusive 'octopus squid' with world's largest biological lights attacks camera in striking new video In the footage, the squid suddenly appears from the darkness and darts toward the camera, engulfing it with its arms before making a quick getaway. Moments before latching onto the camera, the squid shows off a pair of bright, light-emitting organs, known as photophores, at the tips of two of its arms. |

I told you not to get between me and the cameras. A video has gone viral in 24 hours showing a Kings Guard horse “headbutting” a woman, causing her to fall flat on her face. Tourists are told countless times not to stand too close to a King’s Guard horse outside Buckingham Palace – there’s also signs saying to ‘beware’ – yet one woman must have missed the warnings. |

One wrong move and... Many years ago, my first wife and I smuggled 2 harmless baby snakes on a flight from Florida to New Hampshire. We put them in socks, and then in our pockets so they wouldn't be detected in an onboard luggage X-ray scan.. This was before 911, so security wasn't as tight. At one point we had a flight transfer, so we put the two socks in my wife's purse. We didn't expect to go through security again as we were just connection flights. We ended up having to go through security again, and we were terrified that the X-ray scan of her purse would show the skeletons of the two baby snakes. Nobody saw them, or at least identified them as snakes. That was a close one! :) Warning, addicted to SETI crunching! Crunching as a member of GPU Users Group. GPUUG Website |

Crows can count out loud like human toddlers — when they aren't cheating the test Liao enrolled three male crows in the study all held at the university's aviary. She really had to work to design an experiment that the crows couldn't outsmart. First, she trained the birds to produce a different number of calls — one, two, three or four — in response to four arbitrary visual cues (a blue number one, an orange number two, a green number three and a pink number four) and to four arbitrary sounds (a guitar chord, a drumroll, a cash register noise and a tonal sweep). |
