Saturday, 27 October 2012 15:00


Valentin Sapunov, doctor of Biological Sciences, academician who was a participant of the expedition in Azassk cave, where were found a hair of Kuzbass Bigfoot, reported, that researches under the electron microscope in the Russian and American laboratories showed, that the hair of Kuzbass Bigfoot is hair of unknown to science of mammal. According to Valentin Sapunov, hair of Kuzbass Bigfoot can not belong to bears, wolves, mountain goats and other animals in Mountain Shoria, Kuzbass, as the genetic composition of the Kuzbass Bigfoot DNA is closer to the people, than to the animals. According to Valentin Sapunov, hair of Kuzbass Bigfoot, which was detected a year ago in a Azassk cave of Mountain Shoria, Kuzbass, Russia is identical to wool of Bigfoots, which previously were found in the Urals and in the U.S., which was confirmed by the laboratory in Moscow, St. Petersburg and the University Idaho, United States, THE VIDEO: http://hainanwel.com/en/unusual-world/2 ... gfoot.html

Cockatoo parrot learn how to make tools- VIDEO

Tuesday, 06 November 2012 21:48


In the Current Biology and ScienceNow appeared an article of a group of scientists from the University of Vienna and the University of Oxford, in which is stated, that one of the Solomon Goffin Cockatoo (Cacatua goffini), learned how to use simple tools for obtaining a food. According to scientists, this savvy parrot named Figaro, it lives in an aviary near Vienna, Austria. Scientists drew attention to the parrot Figaro, when a pebble, which played by a parrot, fell outside of the aviary and Figaro picked up a stick and tried to use it in order to get the pebble, then cockatoo Figaro transplanted into a separate aviary and arranged for him to experiments in one of them parrot Figaro could cut a sliver from a wooden beam and use it to get a nut, THE VIDEO: http://hainanwel.com/en/unusual-world/2 ... igaro.html

New species of horned dinosaur Xenoceratops foremostensis was found in Canada- VIDEO

Thursday, 08 November 2012 17:27


In Canadian Journal of Earth Sciences appeared an article of scientists from the Natural History Museum in Cleveland, USA and the University of Toronto, Canada, under the leadership of Michael Ryan and David Evans, that in the province of Alberta in western Canada was found the skeleton of a previously unknown species of dinosaurs Xenoceratops foremostensis, which is one of the oldest horned dinosaur, that lived about 78 million years ago. As reported by Michael Ryan and David Evans, about 80 million years ago, a large horned dinosaurs spread throughout North America, so the shape of the horns of the dinosaurs became more and more bizarre. On skull of new horned dinosaur scientists stumbled by chance, when they study skeletons, which were found in the vicinity of the town of Foremost, Canada in the late 50's a group of paleontologists led by Wann Langston, but then all the bones of horned dinosaurs have been transferred to Museum of Nature in Ottawa, Canada, where they did not studied by paleontologists. New horned dinosaur was named Xenoceratops foremostensis, it belongs to the types of tseratopsid, THE VIDEO: http://hainanwel.com/en/unusual-world/2 ... ensis.html

Chikenosaur- dinosaur from chicken-soon will grow by a scientists- VIDEO

Thursday, 08 November 2012 18:34


In ABC and Live Science was published an interview with Jack Horner, the famous American paleontologist, known to the public by the fact, that he participated in the film "Jurassic Park". According to Jack Horner, in an interview with ABC- in the very near future, he will put into practice the scenario of "Jurassic Park" and will create a real live dinosaur on the basis of the chicken embryo and modern techniques of genetic engineering. According to Jack Horner, chicken is the most suitable material for the creation of the first living dinosaur, as modern techniques of genetic engineering can awaken of atavistic genes into the DNA of chicken and make them reappear, which will make possible the first manifestation of the distinctive features of dinosaur- teeth and claws with three fingers, and then it will be possible to receive and fully real dinosaur, THE VIDEO: http://hainanwel.com/en/unusual-world/2 ... osaur.html

Birds learn how to protect the nest from cuckoos with trills-password- VIDEO

Friday, 09 November 2012 20:34


In the Current Biology magazine appeared an article of a group of scientists from Flinders University in Adelaide, Australia under the leadership of Sonia Kleindorfer, that birds of Malurus cyaneus, Australian songbirds, can learn a special password-trill inside the egg, that allows to their parents to distinguish their young birds throw of the cuckoo. According to Sonia Kleindorfer, trills of Malurus cyaneus include a special sound-password, that do not know of chicks by the red-bronze (Chalcites basalis) and shiny bronze (Chalcites lucidus) cuckoos. Scientists have noticed, that Malurus cyaneus teach their chicks this trill-passwords before they occur from eggs, whistling a special trill before the eggs in its nest, THE VIDEO: http://hainanwel.com/en/unusual-world/2 ... sword.html

Unusual predator sponge-harp was found on the ocean bottom- VIDEO

Sunday, 11 November 2012 20:04


In the Invertebrate Biology magazine was published an article of scientists from Monterey Bay Aquarium Research Institute (MBARI), which describes the discovery of a new deep-sea invertebrates Chondrocladia lyra, which belongs to the class of ordinary sponge and lives on the ocean floor at a depth of more than three kilometers. As reported, this previously unknown species of invertebrates is the genus of carnivorous sponges Chondrocladia, therefore, because it looks very similar to a harp or lyre, it was named Chondrocladia lyra. Sponge Chondrocladia lyra held on the ocean floor with rhizoids, consisting of thin branches that radiate in all directions from the center. Unlike other sponges, sponge-harp Chondrocladia lyra is a predator and catches its prey with special spikes and hooks, located on its branches, and then entangles caught prey and slowly digesting it, VIDEO: http://hainanwel.com/en/unusual-world/2 ... -harp.html

Pigs are almost indistinguishable from humans- VIDEO

Thursday, 15 November 2012 15:04


According to Daily Mail, in the Nature magazine was published an article about the largest in the history of the study of the genome of pigs, according to which, "animal Farm" by George Orwell was true, in the opinion of modern researchers- pigs almost are indistinguishable from humans. In the course of the study, researchers found, that pigs suffer from the same genetic disorders and dysfunctions of the proteins, that have a people with a similar diseases- Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease and obesity. The main difference- pigs have a much less taste receptors, than humans, so the pigs can eat food, that for a human is an inedible. In the Nature also was published an article of scientists from the University of Illinois in Urbana, USA and the University of Edinburgh, UK, under the leadership of Lawrence Schook and Alan Archibald, that has been re-decoded genome of domestic swine (Sus scrofa domesticus) and its comparison with the genome of wild boar (Sus scrofa), which live in the forests of Europe and East Asia, the study found, that Asian and European domesticated pigs appeared independently of each other, because the population of wild boars in Europe and Asia were divided about 1 million years ago.

Corals can call a fish-cleaners for fight with toxic algae- VIDEO

Monday, 12 November 2012 10:15


In Science magazine was published an article of scientists from Georgia Institute of Technology in Atlanta, USA, led by Mark Hay and Danielle Dixson, that tropical coral species Acropora nasuta can be protected from the toxic algae species Chlorodesmis fastigiata with distribution in water a specific signaling molecules, that attract a fish cleaners Gobiodon histrio and Paragobiodon echinocephalus, which eliminate a toxic algae and save coral colonies from extinction, acting as a bodyguard. As reported by Mark Hay and Danielle Dixson, during the years of the study of marine life of corals near the coast of Fiji was established, that corals are waging a real chemical war with poisonous algae of Chlorodesmis fastigiata, are producing a special soluble in water substances, which is the chemical signal of danger, that attracts of fish to algae. According to scientists, has developed a stable symbiotic between corals and fish, THE VIDEO: http://hainanwel.com/en/unusual-world/2 ... guard.html

Grasshoppers with human ears found in the forests of South America- VIDEO

Saturday, 17 November 2012 12:45


In the Science magazine was published an article of biologists from the University of Bristol and the University of Lincoln, UK, under the leadership of Daniel Robert and Fernando Montealegre, that grasshoppers Copiphora gorgonensis, which live in the tropical forests of Colombia, have an ears, which are very similar to human ears, as it consist of the same key components: the eardrum, middle and inner ear. Scientists from the University of Bristol and the University of Lincoln scrutinized hearing crickets of Copiphora gorgonensis by x-ray microtomography and laser vibrometer, and were able to measure the acoustic properties of the ear grasshopper, finding that the tiny grasshopper ear has a length of only 600 micrometers (millionths of a meter) but it is almost a full analogue of the human ear. As reported by Daniel Robert and Fernando Montealegre, for the first time in insects were found a hearing organs, which are similar to hearing organs of people, this discovery will help to develop a miniature hearing aids that will be much better to recognize a sounds, than modern hearing aids, THE VIDEO: http://hainanwel.com/en/unusual-world/2 ... -ears.html
