Slaughter in the UK

Animal Aid secretly filmed at seven randomly chosen UK slaughterhouses between January 2009 and June 2010. We found widespread cruelty, suffering and breaches of animal welfare laws, disproving assertions that slaughter in the UK is 'welfare-friendly' and tightly regulated.

Scientists discover unknown lizard species at lunch buffet

It may be an old menu standby to Vietnamese diners, but it's turned into a smorgasbord of discovery for scientists.

Researchers have identified a previously undocumented species of all-female lizard in the Mekong River delta that can reproduce itself by cloning, and the story of how it was discovered is almost as exotic as the animal itself.

Leiolepis ngovantrii is a small lizard found only in southern Vietnam. A Vietnamese reptile scientist who came across tanks full of the remarkably similar looking reptiles at small diners in rural villages in Ba Ria-Vung Tau province became intrigued when he noticed that all of the lizards appeared to be female.

So the scientist, Ngo Van Tri of the Vietnam Academy of Science and Technology, contacted an American colleague about what he was seeing. His friend -- a herpetologist at La Sierra University in Riverside, California -- immediately dropped everything to come out to assess the find.

Dr. Lee Grismer and his son, Jesse Grismer, a doctoral candidate, flew all the way to Hanoi and then faced a grueling two-day motorcycle trip out to a restaurant where the owner promised to set aside a stash of the creatures for study.

But there was a little problem, says Grismer.

"Unfortunately, the owner wound up getting drunk, and grilled them all up for his patrons... so when we got there, there was nothing left."

Snake With A Human Head Found In Malaysia

It’s over 5,000 miles from Greece but residents from Pahang in Malaysia claim to have found a Gorgon, like the famed Medusa.

The strange creature, which has the body of a snake and the head of a human, was reportedly captured by Malaysian aborigines. The story goes that the men spotted two of the beasts, one male and one female, but only managed to catch the female. Witnesses claimed that the creature initially begged to be released back into the mountains, others say it was trying to summon the male monster to come and rescue it.

In Greek mythology Gorgons are hideous women often portrayed with live snakes for hair and a serpent’s body, one look into the eyes of a Gorgon is supposed to turn you to stone. The specimen on display in Pahang appears to be the coiled up body of a python with a human head and little skinny arms, news of the bizarre animal quickly circulated and people began paying good money to view the beast, which sadly turned out to be dead, the so called ’snake monster’ has not been verified.

Here is the video footage of the creature that was passed to the Malaysian press.

Giant Chinese Baby

A Chinese baby has become so chubby he now weighs the same as a six-year-old child.
Ten-month-old Lei Lei has been nicknamed the 'Michelin Baby' after tipping the scales at a whopping 20kg (3.1 stones).
According to his mother, Cheng Qingyu, her son was a normal weight at birth, but thanks to his ravenous appetite he has steadily ballooned since.
She said: 'No matter whatever he grabs, he unconsciously puts it in his mouth.
'His most favourite thing is to eat.'
Lei Lei is currently in hospital in Yiyang, southern China's Hunan province, where he is undergoing tests to see if there is a medical reason behind his weight gain.
Despite his mammoth size, the portly youngster is not the largest baby in the world.
That accolade goes to Karan Singh, of Meerut, in India, who weighed an astonishing 3 stone 7lbs at the same age..

Johann Petrusson.. The Giant Viking

During the heyday of his career the giant named Johann Petursson was the tallest living man on Earth. He was officially “off his throne,” by colossal Robert Wadlow (272 cm), but the Icelandic hero, lived longer, and people remembered him as a talented circus performer and extraordinary actor, and not, for example, as a sick man.

Johann K. Petursson was born in Dalvik (Iceland), Feb. 9, 1913. He was the third-highest child in the 9-child family. In 1924 a unique Icelander had a very impressive growth (according to some sources 231 cm, on the other – as many as 246 cm, and Wikipedia says that only some 221 cm), weighed 135 kg and wearing shoes size 56. Here’s the photo of his shoes taken in the museum:

Despite the volcanic appearance and strength, Petursson was a real gentleman, he never used any foul language or has ever been rude to anyone. Children loved playing with him and climbing on his shoulders. But Icelanders are hard to impress, so Johann in his hometown was no more than a very tall man with no prospects. He even had troubles finding a job because of his enormous size.

In 1934, Petursson went to Denmark, where realized that he could earn a living by showing himself of. Johanna, his sister made him some stylish outfits, and the giant went on a tour through Europe. He has performed in Music Hall with two “gnomes”. Dwarfs played on miniature accordions, and Petursson – on any giant sized instrument. The audience loved it. Concert tour was interrupted with the beginning of World War II. Having lost his case in Copenhagen, Johann was hired as a loader at the shipyard. He survived the war peacefully, carrying bags.

The war ended, Petursson resumed the show, and was taken to pencil one of the Ringling Brothers, owners of a rich American circus. A contract was signed, and the Viking ended up in the New World.

There Johann earned $ 200 a week, trading souvenirs along the way – the giant wooden rings that could fit his fingers. A silver dollar (26 mm) could easily get through these huge rings. Our giant himself was producing the rings from plastic or metal – gold, silver and lead. They looked antique as if they were worn ages ago in the ancient times of Icelandic Vikings conquests.

Luckily, rescue teams made it to the spot just in time to free the stranded passengers. This isn't the first safety scare at the amusement park.
