This donkey is hypnotized - I guess he likes the view…

This is a weird footage of a two-headed snake recently discovered in Cuba. When I watched this video it came on my mind the post about the recently fossil discovery of a 2 leg snake. Is it possible, the scientist’s discovery to be just a nature error, like this 2 headed snake?

Peta is known to many as the vigilante group of animal rights activists. Even though they are right about the causes they defend, some aren’t always too thrilled with the way they go about it. Well instead of using blood on furs this time around, they have created a video game inspired by Super Mario Brothers called Super Chick Sisters. If some aren’t aware, PETA has been slamming KFC for the way they treat their chickens. What has to be the best part of the game, is Pamela Anderson as the Princess!

A fossil animal locked in Lebanese limestone has been shown to be an extremely precious discovery - a snake with two legs.

Researchers at the European Light Source (ESRF) in Grenoble, France, used intense X-rays to confirm that a creature imprinted on a rock, and with one visible leg, had another appendage buried just under the surface of the slab.

The 85cm-long (33in) creature, known as Eupodophis descouensi, comes from the Late Cretaceous, about 92 million years ago.

Current evidence suggests that snakes started to emerge less than 150 million years ago.

Two theories compete. One points to a land origin in which lizards started to burrow, and as they adapted to their subterranean existence, their legs were reduced and lost - first the forelimbs and then the hind-limbs.

The second theory considers the origin to be in water, from marine reptiles.

This makes the few known bipedal snakes in the fossil record hugely significant, because they could hold the clues that settle this particular debate.

A Mediterranean diet is supposed to keep you slim and healthy.

But it seems to be having the opposite effect on this Italian ginger tom, which has grown so large it is starting to resemble the original feline food-lover Garfield.

Laura Santarelli’s cat Orazi weighs a hefty16kg - 13kg more than the average cat.

The pair live in Eupilio, Italy, where it seems the cat food is not in short supply.

It is not known if Orazi is suffering from obesity, or is simply a very large cat.

However the problem of fat pets is on the rise, going hand in hand, it seems, with the march of human obesity.
