In Australia, found the skeleton of a giant wombat: the history of death
Thursday, 07 July 2011 00:01
BBC reported that, in the north of the Australian state of Queensland, was found almost completely preserved skeleton of a giant marsupial (Diprotodon optatum), resembling a giant wombat, which lived more than 50 thousand years ago.

Professor Mike Archer from the University of New South Wales reported, that the marsupial was herbivores, its dimensions are comparable with the car and weighs was about three tons. For the first time in Australia was found a complete skeleton of the oldest inhabitant of Australia. Due to the fact, that this finding was found in a place, where were found many representatives of the Australian megafauna of this period, this finding is not only paleontological interest, but also can serve as a basis for understanding, what a disaster caused such a massive extinction of many species of Australian megafauna a tens of thousands of years ago.

Here is a new version of the death of megafauna, which first appeared only two days ago, namely- on July 5, 2011 in South Australia, 96 km south-east of Melbourne in the same place, there were two earthquakes of magnitude 4.6 and 3.7. Particular attention is attracted by these Australian earthquakes because they happen to spot of long extinct volcanoes, which last an estimated erupted thousands of years ago. And we know, that earthquakes in the vicinity of volcanic eruptions may be harbingers of these volcanoes.

As reported by a team of scientists from the University of Melbourne – in Australia could soon wake up the dormant volcanoes, as volcanic eruptions have occurred previously in Australia every 2000 years, but the last volcano woke up more than 5000 years ago. If you look at the location of volcanoes in Australian territory, it immediately apparent that Queensland, where was found a fully preserved skeleton of a giant marsupial (Diprotodon optatum) is literally full of extinct volcanoes- in Queensland there are about 400 volcanoes.

Queensland is a state in north-eastern Australian mainland. In Queensland there are five security zones of World Heritage sites: The Australian Reserve fossil mammals in the Gulf Country, Central Eastern Rainforest Reserve, Fraser Island, Great Barrier Reef and the Wet Tropics of Queensland. So there are good reasons to assume, that Queensland was the last refuge of the representatives of the ancient megafauna of Australia, who could find in this state for some meager sustenance from its proximity to the equator and humid climate.

The ancient catastrophe, that led to the deaths of many animals of Australia, are probably came from the south of Australia, and it is very likely, that this was a major volcanic eruption somewhere in the south of Australia. The main cause of death was a volcanic ash, covering large areas of Australia.

It should be noted, that smaller species of Australian wombats were more likely to survive the disaster than the giant wombats, as wombats (Latin Vombatidae) are Australian marsupials, they are short-legged, muscular quadrupeds. They are adaptable in their habitat tolerances, and are found in forested, mountainous, and heathland areas of south-eastern Australia. Because of the structure of muscles, divided upper lip allows wombats easily and accurately choose what they eat, and the front teeth wombat can reach right down to the ground and cut even the smallest shoots of plants. A particularly important role in the selection and search for food at night wombats playing active sense of smell. The metabolism of wombats is very slow and effective. To digest a food, even modern wombats need up to 14 days. Wombats are currently the most economical water users of all mammals on Earth, after the camel: for wombats enough 22 milliliters of water per kilogram of body weight per day. Even the kangaroos, which are perfectly adapted to the harsh life in Australia, are spending four times more water.

As a result of a volcanic eruption in Australia, were covered with volcanic ash huge tracts of its territory because of what the giant wombats, because of its economical expenditure of energy (for sure wombats were not required to eat every day), survived for several weeks more, then large predators, which allowed to survive the skeleton of wombat, as small predators were not able to physically pull apart its.

Thus, the finding is a skeleton of a giant wombat suggests the presence of sudden and rapid disaster is likely a powerful volcanic eruption, which occurred somewhere in Australia about 50 thousand years ago. And the day before yesterday two earthquakes in the same place cause to pay attention to this region of the Earth, because such a disaster could happen again and sudden awakening of volcanoes in Australia can cause a lot of trouble for Australians.

Academy of Sciences confirmed the existence of the Yeti
Sunday, 30 October 2011 22:41

http://hainanwel.com/en/unusual-world/1 ... -yeti.html

Valentine Sapunov, academician of Russian Academy of Sciences, reported about the sensational results of hair analysis of Yeti on the electron microscope. The investigations revealed, that all four samples of yeti hair, which were found in different places of Earth (in California, in the Ural, in the Leningrad region and in a cave in the Kemerovo region) belong to the same biological species. However, this species is not described in any directory, as the samples of hair can not belong to any known species. Thus,this is the first scientific evidence, that Bigfoot really exists in nature as a separate species, because it was very difficult to fake hair samples, taken at different places of the Earth.

In Crimea decided to catch a last dinosaur- the Karadag snake
Monday, 24 October 2011 23:33

http://hainanwel.com/en/unusual-world/1 ... snake.html

Tomorrow in Simferopol, Ukraine near the building of the Crimean parliament, will be held the protest action of local environmentalists, which will call for the protection of the Karadag snake. Karadag snake – is a relic animal of enormous size, representing one of the dinosaurs, which, according to local residents, living near the Karadag volcano in Crimea, Ukraine. Since the 18th century documented hundreds of cases of observation of Karadag snake, it is believed, that the activity of the Karadag volcano in the prehistoric era helped to keep the water around it warmer, than the rest of the Black Sea, because of this near Karadag volcano managed to survive one of the dinosaurs, which now and take over the Karadag snake. Therefore, local environmentalists want to limit fishing in the area of the Karadag volcano, prohibit vessels access to the area, as well as to organize a large-scale expedition to the study of the Black Sea region and the search of Karadag snake.

http://hainanwel.com/en/unusual-world/1 ... shark.html

The Mexican fisherman Enrique Lucero Leon caught a young one-eyed shark in the Gulf of California, off the coast of Jacques Cousteau (see a photo). One-eyed albino shark was found near the female shark, close to the usual nine young sharks. The one-eyed albino was the only shark-Cyclops among all offspring. The reason for the appearance of Cyclops sharks is called lack of vitamin A in female shark.

World's first natural park of ice age era- in Yakutia were found the living cells of mammoth,that are suitable for cloning- VIDEO
Tuesday, 11 September 2012 08:19


Press service of the North-Eastern Federal University, Russia reported, that international paleontological expedition "Jan-2012" found in Yakutia a well-preserved mammoth living cells. According to Semyon Grigoriev, who is the Director of the Museum of Mammoth in the North-Eastern Federal University, Rusiia, the expedition took place in August 2012 in Ust-Yanskiy district of Yakutia. This expedition was attended by scientists from Russia, South Korea, USA, Canada, Sweden and the UK, and many employees of the North-Eastern Federal University (NEFU). According to the Semyon Grigoriev, in Ust-Yanskiy district of Yakutia at a depth of about 100 meters, the expedition found a material for research- soft and fat tissue, hair and bone of marrow mammoth, in 2013 the results of the international paleontological expedition "Jan-2012" will be published in prestigious scientific magazines, and a detailed videos of expedition "Jan-2012" will be seen in 2013 on National Geographic. This finding is not the first in this district of Yakutia, because in August 2011 in Ust-Yanskiy district of Yakutia were found carcasses of mammoth, bison and ancient horse, in October 2011, unidentified bones were found, after examination at the Russian Academy of Sciences was determined, that the bones belong to different individuals of the mammoth, so scientists have suggested that in Ust-Yanskiy in Yakutia is located peculiar cemetery of ancient animals. Ust-Yanskiy district of Yakutia was founded at January 5, 1967, the district is located in the north of Yakutia. The area is 120.3 thoUSAnd square meters. Ust-Yanskiy district of Yakutia is located from the capital- Yakutsk at a distance: by land - 2068 km, by air - 1025 km. The average January temperature is - 32 ... - 40 ° C, in July of +4 ° C in the north to +12 ° C in the south. This unique combination of temperatures in this region of Yakutia enables prolonged preservation of the remains of ancient animals in the layers of permafrost. Following these findings, it was reported that the Yakut, Japanese and South Korean scientists plan to produce cloned woolly mammoth, scientists intend for this transplanted genetic material from prehistoric animal into the egg of an elephant. If biologists cloning experiment is successful, in the foreseeable future will live in Yakutia a living mammoths, because there are scientific reasons for the successful cloning of a mammoth. In the first case it needs to combine the mammoth sperm to fertilize the female form close to it, for example, the Asian elephant. For the second option of cloning necessary to select a core of somatic cell of mammoth and put it in the elephant's egg cell, deprived of its own nucleus, and egg - the uterus. When, after 10 months of the light will be a female mammoth-elephant, it is necessary to cross again mammoth, and so after about three generations can bring "mammoth by more than 90%." But until September 2012, these plans could not be realized, because previously scientists could not find a viable, suitable for fertilization or cloning the cells of a mammoth. There are already reports that the Government of the Republic of Sakha (Yakutia) may proceed with the project on a fantastic creating the World's first natural park of ice age era. The main inhabitants of the park should be a living cloned mammoths, which it is hoped, in Yakutia, will be derived from the DNA of the mammoth, the expedition found in Ust-Yanskiy district of Yakutia. It is possible, that in addition to mammoths in the Park era ice age will live, and other ancient animals, scientists have found that an ice age in the Sakha (Yakutia) cells of bison, musk oxen and beaver, which also became extinct several thoUSAnd years ago.

Cockroaches will remain the only living species on Earth
Friday, 14 September 2012 11:17

http://hainanwel.com/en/unusual-world/1 ... aches.html

Canadian biologists have published an article, that predicted the subsequent course of biological evolution of life on Earth and the most likely step in the evolution of our planet. According to Canadian biologists, in a few billion years on Earth would be only one kind of living beings, since the course of biological evolution of life on Earth requires a steady decline in the number of species, which will inevitably lead to what will be the most stable form of living beings. While cockroaches are at present the best candidate for this role-fast adaptability to various poisons and toxins, high speed mutations and almost unbelievable resistance to radiation-cockroaches survive radiation dose of 1,000 times greater, than man.

Footprints with age of 315 million years old were found in the USA- PHOTO
Sunday, 16 September 2012 10:58

http://hainanwel.com/en/unusual-world/1 ... oides.html

Paleontologist Gloria Melanson reported about the discovery of the fossilized traces of the smallest living vertebrate creature, whose age is about 315 million years. Fossilized footprints were found near Joggins cliffs, near Amherst, USA. According to scientists, these prints belong to amphibians Batrachichnus salamandroides, dwelt 315 million years ago on Earth. As reported Gloria Melanson, traces track length is 48 mm, a total of 30 prints of feet and tail, and the length is equal to the trace of the front feet in length- 1.6 mm, length of the traces of the hind legs is 2.4 millimeters.

A huge blue whale weight of 200 tons for the first time floated to the coast of Australia- VIDEO
Saturday, 22 September 2012 17:07

http://hainanwel.com/en/unusual-world/1 ... whale.html

As reported by the largest Russian news agency RIA-Novosti- a huge blue whale with a length of about 30 meters and a weight of 200 tons sailed into Sydney Harbour, Australia and very much surprised of locals, as locals very rarely see a blue whales in these waters, as reported by the naturalist Jonas Libshner- whales did not appeare near the coast of Australia for over 20 years. As reported Libshner Jonas: "I'm a whale-watching in the last five years, but such whales are not seen." as scientists believe, such a huge blue whale has changed the way of the normal migration in Antarctic waters due to the changed of temperature of the water near Antarctica, and now krill live much closer to the coast of Australia, than it was before, why whales do not need to swim to the Antarctic for catching of krill.
