Tiny Dinosaur… Like Roadrunner On Steroids

“Film makers may like to portray huge terrifying dinosaurs marauding through the wilderness, but not all Jurassic beasts were so colossal. Fossils have been unearthed of a fleet-footed species only 28 inches long and weighing less than a rabbit. Fruitadens haagarorum lived around 150million years ago and was so small and fast it probably darted through the legs of larger species.It would have looked like a ‘roadrunner on steroids’, said Luis Chiappe, director of the Los Angeles Museum’s Dinosaur Institute. ‘We’re really testing the limits of body size among dinosaurs. Here’s an animal that is estimated to have weighed about two pounds (0.91 kg) when it was full grown,’ he said. ‘So this is a really tiny dinosaur. It is the smallest known dinosaur from North America and one of the smallest dinosaurs ever.” w/ photos + video

World’s Largest Web-Spinning Spider

“A new giant spider – which has huge five-inch females and tiny males – has been discovered by scientists. The female of the new species of golden orb weaver spider has a body one and a half inches long with a leg span of five inches and weaves a web more than three feet wide. The tiny male, however, has a leg span of just one inch. The variation of the Nephila species, named as Nephila Komaci, was discovered by US and Slovenian researchers in Africa and Madagascar… Tests were then carried out that confirmed it was the largest orb weaver ever known and was a newly identified species.” w/ photos

The Amazing Bouncing Pebble Toad

“The amazing pebble toad tumbles down a cliff face to escape a toad-eating tarantula. It is so small and weighs so little that it doesn’t even hurt itself as it bounces off the rocks.”

World’s Longest Dog Fence

“One of the world’s longest man made structures is the Australian Dingo Fence. In fact it is also the world’s longest fence ever. Stretching across two southeastern Australian states, Queensland and South Australia, the Dingo Fence is 5,614 kilometres long. With the help of flickr, and their members, we have compiled 13 photographs of the world’s longest dog fence.” w/ photos

Cricket Chirps Reveal Secret Serenades

“Want to know how crickets choose mates? Well, listen closely next time you’re outside on a night when they’re singing. Very closely. It’s the males that are doing that chirping; they’re trying to attract females. But it took biologist Laurel Symes of Dartmouth College years of listening — and recording — to figure out that different species of cricket have different calls. She slowed down the recordings and discovered that what sounds like a continuous call to us actually has pulses — or rhythm.” w/ photos + audio clips

Fisherman Reels In Monster 6ft Fish

“It’s not often that you’d describe the angler, rather than the fish, as the one that got away. But that was certainly the case for Tim Smith, who lived to tell the tale after tussling with a crocodile over this monster 6ft Nile perch. The art teacher, 39, had already been engaged in a titanic battle to reel in the 249lb fish for 45 minutes in his tiny motor boat on the Victoria Nile in Uganda when he realised he had a fiercer rival. Fortunately, however, it was the 39-year-old art teacher who turned out to be the one that got away, managing to tether his catch to the boat before firing the motor into life, leaving his opponent empty-mouthed in his wake. And he was able to pose by his giant prize – which may be a record – for this spectacular photograph.” w/ photos
