Shrews




Shrews are very small mammals, in fact, two (2) of the shrew species represent the smallest mammals on earth! Of the four (4) families, Desert, Red-toothed, Short-tailed, and Small-eared shrews, the largest animals are represented by the Northern Short-tailed Shrew. The Northern Short-tailed Shrew can grow to about four (4) or five (5) inches in length not including a tail that is just over one (1) inch in length at most. The fur of the shrew is uniformly gray and very soft.

All other species of shrew are similar in appearance including a pointed snout and uniform colored fur. They all have very small eyes and ears, too. Sharp claws atop five (5) front and rear toes help the animals climb trees.

The Red-toothed Shrews have dark tips on their teeth, hence their name. This pigmentation is caused by iron deposits. Since the shrews are not technically rodents, they do not have continuously growing incisors. Scientists theorize that the iron deposits may increase the ability of the teeth to last longer.

saiga atelope




saiga atelope is a very curious looking animal. It is recognizable by an extremely unusual, over-sized, and flexible, nose. Its internal structure is composed of an intricate network of bones, hairs and mucous-secreting glands. During summer migrations it helps filter out dust, kicked up by the herd and cools the animals blood. During the winter it heads up the frigid air before it is taken into the lungs, thereby reducing heat loss in its body.

The eyes are large with a dark brown iris. They are set at the end of bony knobs on either side of its head, giving it a bug-eyed look, and a wide angle to spot potential danger. Their eyesight is keen and they can see long distances. The rounded ears and the tail are short.

Typical habitat consists of level or gently sloping steppes and semi deserts. They avoid slightly broken terrain, deserts, and bushy and hilly areas. Saiga go into hilly terrain in Mongolia, they move up the slopes in winter even in summer, were they were found around 1500 m and more.

More than 80 species of plants and lichens have been recorded in their diet, especially grasses, genera Stipa, Allium and Anabasis.

They require fairly good watering places and shallow snow cover in winter. They spend most of the time in winter in gravel, sand, and clay deserts, and in summer in semi deserts and rarely, steppes (due to live-stock competition in this habitat).

Ambling is the normal pace. Adults can run up to 80 km/h, lambs (8-15 days old) run at 40-50 km/h. Saiga are good swimmers.

Patagonian Cavy




Guinea pig (Patagonian Cavy) rats, looks a bit like a rabbit, but also a bit like a donkey. Living in Argentina and Central and South-arid and desert grass.

Food Habits
Patagonian cavies eat almost any vegetation but prefer grasses and herbs.
Reproduction
Patagonian cavies have very unusual reproductive behavior, especially for mammals. Monogomous for life. a cavy pair breeds two or three times a year, usually around mid-winter and spring, when the female enters her very brief estrus. The litters of 1-3 young are born after a 3 month gestation period. The young are well developed at birth and are quickly placed in a communal den, usually made from a hole or tunnel abandoned by another animal. This den is home to the offspring of as many as 15 cavy pairs. The adult pairs intermittently travel to the den to nurse their young. Pairs do not tolerate other pairs when nursing, and the males drive off other parents. The female uses scent to locate her young and drives off offspring other than her own. The young are weaned after 2-3 months and quickly reach sexual maturity (2-3 months for females, 6 months for males).

Jenglot


Jenglot
, mysterious creatures of Indonesia is a strange phenomenon that began to spread in the community in 1997an. Jenglot is an object / creature (I have problems deciding whether the object or creature) who form a small man with a body no more than 12 cm and his long hair, sparse and stiff through the legs, and long nails.

Jenglot believed society was as a person who has the magic of science in the past (maybe a hermit so) who died, but was rejected by the earth, so that his body was not destroyed but shrunk to a form like jenglot. Means it is believed that "jenglot it used to be a man" ...

If examined in terms of scientific, obviously there can not be a phenomenon like this. The human body is bound to break down when buried in the soil.

Strange sightings face in Ancol



Strange sightings face in Ancol

Readers who've been to Taman Wisata Ancol or Sea World would know the location of this photo. Precisely at the bottom of the entrance gate there is a cable that spray cooling steam for the visitors when the weather is hot again. A month ago the 25 September 2010 my family visited the famous tourist place in Indonesia. As usual, when there is something interesting or something new we are trying to take pictures using a digital pocket camera canon 10 mega pixels. When multiple wires across the entrance was spray cold vapor passing along any visitors, I took a picture.

No any purpose except to look cool steam in the form of photographs. Have fun for fun, I watched the pictures on the computer screen and look at the shots. After taking account of the form of cold steam is sprayed from the cable it seemed there was something strange. Formed a white face with two eyes were glaring at visitors who pass under it. Cold clouds of steam were somewhat different from others originating from the transverse cable wires. As I recall, face shape is somewhat awkward because it is close to the wall of the gate, not the cable near the source. Though it does not spray the walls of steam cooling.

Surprisingly again, a man wear an undershirt and black hat that pass beneath it (in photo) as if he were directing the view to face the strange. While the boy under the "strange faces" were staring straight ahead, not looking up. Of course the boy did not know what's on it. These photos are genuine without the engineering and the document is still stored in the computer. Perhaps the reader to conclude those faces as a form or a sinister figure, but I see it as strange faces commonly regarded as a ghost or a genie. Ghost face is like having two eye holes, nose, mouth and white hair stood up. Position slightly tilted clockwise number one. Look again. This photo was taken during the day when the sun blazing.
