Albino Animals

September 29th 2008 10:24

Albino animals have a deficiency of melanin pigment in the eyes, skin and hair. The condition can affect many living creatures including humans, mammals, fish, birds, reptiles, and amphibians. The Albino gene is recessive, and as such is rarely seen amongst animals, especially in the wild. Thanks to Chan Lee Peng, here are some rarely seen albino creatures. More can be seen here.

Most Alien Looking Place on Earth

September 17th 2008 07:37

The group of four islands known as Socotra is located in the Indian Ocean off the horn of Africa. Is is governed by the Republic if Yemen.

Dracaena Tree

Socotra is isolated and it's climate is very hot and dry which has resulted in a unique set of flora. A third of the 800 or so plant species on Socotra are not found anywhere else.

Strangest and weirdest place on earth. Socotra in the Indian Ocean.

The fauna of Socotra is ranked as one of the most important sites for biodiversity and conservation but is endangered due to the effects of climate change and introduced goats. The islands may become a popular ecotourism destination in the future. By looking at these pictures, you can understand why!

Thanks to the Dark Roasted Blend for these photos.

Two Headed Lizard

September 1st 2008 08:39

As featured on Ripley's Believe-it-or-Not, a two headed bearded dragon called Zak and Wheezie celebrated their first birthday recently, making them (or it) potentially the longest lived two headed lizard of all time.
Zak and Wheezie can't feed themselves as easily as single headed dragons, so their owners in Fowler, California feed them by hand. As they are attached to one body, it technically doesn't matter which one eats, but the owners are careful to be sure neither one feels left out!
