FLYING DRAGON

Dragons of the past may have been large enough to carry off a sheep or human, modern dragons eat insects and sometimes birds and small mammals. These are the iguanian lizards, which belong to the family Agamidae. The family includes domesticated bearded dragons and Chinese water dragons and also the wild genus Draco .     lying lizards of the genus Draco are renowned for their gliding ability, using an aerofoil formed by winglike patagial membranes and supported by elongated thoracic ribs.  The attachment of the forelimbs to the patagium suggests that that aerofoil is controlled through movements of the forelimbs.   Draco is the Latin word for serpent or dragon. Draco spp . are flying dragons. Really, Draco is a master of gliding. The lizards glide distances as long as 60 meters (200 feet) by flattening their limbs and extending wing-like flaps. The lizards use their tail and neck flap (gular flag) to stabilize and control their descent. You can fin...

TWO HEADED SNAKES

Its really rare, but not completely uncommon that a snake is born with two heads.  It’s called Polycephaly, a condition of having more than one head.    The most commonly observed two-headed animals are turtles and snakes.  Snake heads may attack and even attempt to swallow each other. Thus, polycephalic animals survive poorly in the wild compared to normal monocephalic animals. Most two-headed snakes only live for a few months, though some have been reported to live a full life and even reproduced with the offspring born normal.A two-headed black rat snake with separate throats and stomachs survived for 20 years.   A two-headed albino rat snake named “We” survived in captivity for 8 years. A two-headed Boa constrictor was born in a pet shop in Hayward, California, in May 2009. Owner Aaron Dickey decided to sell the snake to the Venice Beach Freakshow.A two-headed king snake lived for nearly 17 years at the Arizona State Universit...

Although often described as extremely predatory and mainly feeding on fish, their dietary habits vary extensively, and they will also take plant material,leading to their classification as omnivorous.  Piranhas belong to the subfamily Serrasalminae, which includes closely related omnivorous fish such as pacus. ...

ELEPHANT SEALS

The elephant seal (genus Mirounga ) is the world's largest seal. There are two species of elephant seals, named according to the hemisphere in which they are found. Northern elephant seals ( M. angustirostris)  are found in coastal waters around Canada and Mexico, while southern elephant seals ( M. leonina ) are found off the coast of New Zealand, South Africa, and Argentina.   Only the adult male (bull) "elephant of the sea" has the large proboscis that resembles an elephant's trunk. The bull uses the proboscis to roar during the mating season. The large nose acts as a rebreather, allowing the seal to reabsorb moisture when it exhales. During the mating season, seals don't leave the beach, so they must conserve water.   Southern elephant seals are a bit larger than northern elephant seals. Males of both species are much larger than females. An average adult southern male may weigh 3,000 kg (6,600 lb) and reach a length of 5 m (16 ft), while the ad...
