Measuring 40cm (nearly 16in) plus tail, the creature terrified the family in Solna district. Pest controllers finally killed the intruder using an oversized trap. Even the family cat had refused to enter the kitchen while the giant rat was in residence, father Erik Korsas told BBC News. http://www.bbc.com/n...europe-26764929 http://i.imgur.com/hR2wFTh.png http://i.imgur.com/TsqBhtq.png http://www.smileyvault.com/albums/userpics/13911/terrified-026.gif 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HomesickAlien Posted March 29, 2014 Author Share Posted March 29, 2014 29 March 2014Saturday RARE TERRESTRIAL CEPHALOPOD http://i.imgur.com/cW1dwqQ.pngThe Megasquid Researchers in Papua New Guinea have released a grainy trail camera image of the megasquid. The megasquid is a 5 m tall, 8 ton terrestrial air-breathing relative of squid, larger than an African elephant. With tentacles that extend to 10 feet (3 m) and rhino-like skin, the megasquid is a formidable creature. It roams the swampy lowlands of Papua New Guinea. Its arms have evolved to become legs that look like thick columns, each about 1/3 of a meter thick, and the tentacles have become manipulatory appendages. Its locomotion is different from other animals: it first moves its right front and back legs and the left middle legs, then its left front and back legs and its right middle legs. Although it would appear that an invertebrate of this size would not be able to live on land (it would be crushed by gravity and lack of a hard bony skeleton), it has specialized muscles that form rings and columns in the legs to form a mock skeleton-like supporting structure. On its forehead is a pouch for producing a call akin to that of a frog. Its main food source is fruit. http://i.imgur.com/bGa1PEy.png?1 Dr. Michael Ogio, director of the Cephalopod Research Institute in Port Moresby, said that the photo was captured by a trail camera placed in the remote swamps west of Daru. Villagers had been reporting sightings of the creature for months, and an expedition to the area is currently being planned. An account of the quest to find this elusive animal will be published in Nature. http://www.nature.co...ture/index.html http://i.imgur.com/KmuJE4y.jpg 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
