| Annoying 17-Year Cicadas Set to Reemerge in Spring |

| WASHINGTON - They're loud, messy and neighborhood dogs love them. No, they're not relatives left over from the holidays. They're cicadas. And, like relatives who only visit once and a while, they're coming this spring after a 17-year hiatus. A cicada is a distant cousin of the locust. After spending their entire lives underground, they burrow out, head to the tree tops to mate and then they die. The above-ground cycle of cicadas lasts less than four weeks. But in that time they'll be annoying. Not only are their mating calls really loud, dogs are known to pig out on them; and when their shells decay, they leave a stinky mess behind. Their density can reach 1.5 million per acre, says Eric Day, manager of Virginia Tech's insect identification lab. Female cicadas lay their eggs in slits in tree limbs. A single egg is laid in each slit. When the eggs hatch, nymphs fall on the ground and dig into the soil. They then attach to a tree root, living off the tree's nutrients. ... | |||||||||||

| Company shows 'cloned baby' |

| A company claiming to have created the world's first cloned babies has distributed a photograph of one of the "clones" for the first time. lonaid said a picture of an infant in an incubator published on its website showed the third of five babies supposedly cloned since December. Many scientists have dismissed Clonaid's claim that any babies were ever cloned at all, pointing to the absence of DNA proof. But the company, which is linked to a sect maintaining that humans were created by aliens, insists the picture shows "the third clone baby", allegedly born in Japan. Its president, Brigitte Boisselier, handed out copies of the photograph on Monday on a visit to Brazil to promote the company. Ms Boisselier, who is also a "bishop" of the Raelian sect, promised to present evidence in the next few days that the child was indeed cloned. The baby's father, she said, would soon travel to Brazil to offer scientists proof that the baby's DNA was identical to that ... | |||||||||||

| Two-headed Calf Born in Russia’s Vologda Region |

| Recently a two-headed calf was born at a farm in Russia's Vologda region. Unfortunately, farmers failed to save its life At the end of February milkmaids at the Zarya farm clutched their heads in horror: their favorite cow named Toma delivered an unusual animal: it was a calf with two necks and two heads. The farmers were unhappy to see that the two-headed calf died during difficult confinement. Fortunately, the cow itself survived. Veterinary specialists of the Vologda region say that appearance of the mutant calf is closely connected with worsening ecological situation in the region. Vets say that soils in the area where the strange calf was born catastrophically lack selenium and iodine, this fact causes anomalies. For instance, a calf without a tail was born at a neighboring farm last year. This was the first time that a two-headed calf was born. Instances of births of such calves are rare in the world as well. In the spring of 2001 a cow delivered a two-headed calf in a village 70 kilometers to t ... | |||||||||||

| Word is made flesh as God reveals himself... as a fish |

| An obscure Jewish sect in New York has been gripped in awe by what it believes to be a mystical visitation by a 20lb carp that was heard shouting in Hebrew, in what many Jews worldwide are hailing as a modern miracle. Many of the 7,000-member Skver sect of Hasidim in New Square, 30 miles north of Manhattan, believe God has revealed himself in fish form. According to two fish-cutters at the New Square Fish Market, the carp was about to be slaughtered and made into gefilte fish for Sabbath dinner when it suddenly began shouting apocalyptic warnings in Hebrew. Many believe the carp was channelling the troubled soul of a revered community elder who recently died; others say it was God. The only witnesses to the mystical show were Zalmen Rosen, a 57-year-old Hasid with 11 children, and his co-worker, Luis Nivelo. They say that on 28 January at 4pm they were about to club the carp on the head when it began yelling. Nivelo, a Gentile who does not understand Hebrew, was so shocked at the sight of a fish talking i ... | |||||||||||

| A colossal squid has been caught in Antarctic waters, the first example of Mesonychoteuthis hamiltoni retrieved virtually intact from the surface of the ocean. "All we knew prior to this specimen coming through was that this animal lived in the abyssal environment down in Antarctica," New Zealand squid expert and senior research fellow at Auckland University of Technology, Dr Steve O'Shea, told BBC News Online. "Now we know that it is moving right through the water column, right up to the very surface and it grows to a spectacular size." Mesonychoteuthis hamiltoni was first identified in 1925 after two arms were recovered from a sperm whale's stomach. ... | |||||||||||

| Raccoon Carjacks Woman; Escapes Police |

| It may be the first-ever reported carjacking by a raccoon, according to a Local 6 News report. Christine Leonard of Barrington, RI said that when she was getting into her car to go to the grocery store over the weekend a raccoon dove into the vehicle and forced her from the car. Leonard said that she had the car in reverse before she got out. With the door closed and locked, the car with the raccoon inside backed out of the driveway, striking a neighbor's fence. The car then suddenly lurched forward, heading back up the driveway striking several trees before the ride ended. When police arrived on scene, they found the raccoon locked in the car with no way out. "These animals are so intelligent and they've got so much chutzpah about them to just do what they do," Leonard said. After several attempts to try and open the power locks with the keys still inside, the raccoon found the power switch to open the window and managed to escape up the nearest tree, according to the report.

| Experts hunt Quebec's caribou-eating shark |

| Quebec -- The giant shark goes by the name Sleeper but kills large caribou after lying in wait -- crocodile-style -- at the mouth of Canada's northern rivers. Canadian researchers are now trying to unravel the mysteries surrounding the great northern Greenland shark after at least four of them were discovered in the St. Lawrence River near Baie-Comeau, Que. "We've got so many things through these dives and this footage that we didn't have a clue about before," said Jeffrey Gallant, a shark researcher who went diving in June with at least four Greenland sharks. "We've been working on this shark for years and it's extremely exciting to be learning so much." While researchers knew the Greenland shark ventured along the St. Lawrence, a diving team led by Gallant and co-researcher Chris Harvey-Clark took what is believed to be the first known video of the fish swimming freely in a natural environment. The footage and close-up observation are debunking several myths ... | |||||||||||

| A TEAM of part-time explorers may have proved the existence of a Yeti-like creature on a tropical jungle island. Tests by experts at Cambridge University and in Australia have shown that hairs and a footprint found by the Indiana Joneses from Stockport and Macclesfield do not belong to any known species. The explorers were searching for the mythical Orang Pendek - also known as the Sumatran Yeti. A scientific paper on their amazing discovery will soon be published. Tales of a half-ape, half-man-like creature in the rainforest are part of the folklore of tribespeople on Sumatra in Indonesia but, despite many sightings by locals and Western scientists, its existence has never been proved. World-renowned hair expert Dr Hans Brunner has spent 18 months analysing the DNA - and he has concluded that they match no known animal. 'Mythical' Cambridge University primatologist Dr David Chivers has confirmed his findings and the two men are about to publish a paper on the subject. The Orang Pendek is sai ... | |||||||||||
