Scratching Capybaras

This is one of many animals I have not seen. The capybara (Hydrochoerus hydrochaeris), is the largest living rodent in the world. They are native to South America. Capybaras have heavy, barrel-shaped bodies and short heads with reddish-brown fur on the upper part of their body that turns yellowish-brown underneath. Adult capybaras may grow to 4.3 ft in length, and weigh up to 140 lb. The top recorded weight is 232 lbs. Capybaras have slightly webbed feet, no tail, and 20 teeth. Their back legs are slightly longer than their front legs and their muzzles are blunt with eyes, nostrils, and ears on top of their head. Females are slightly heavier than males. Females: 80 to 145 pounds. Males: 75 to 135 pounds.

Watch as these capybaras get a much appreciated scratching.

Invasion of the Asian Carp

     Silver carp have become notorious for being easily frightened by boats and personal watercraft, which causes them to leap high into the air. The fish can jump up to 8–10 feet into the air, and numerous boaters have been injured by collisions with the fish. According to the EPA, "reported injuries include cuts from fins, black eyes, broken bones, back injuries, concussions and death.". Silver carp can grow to 100 pounds in mass.
     They are known to be well-established in the Mississippi River basin (including tributaries) of the United States, where they at times reach extremely high abundances. These fish are considered to be highly detrimental to the environment in parts of the United States and hence, in July, 2007, all silver carp and largescale silver carp were declared by the U.S. Department of the Interior to be invasive species under the Lacey Act.

Dot - The World's Smallest Stop-Motion Animation

Professor Fletcher's invention of the CellScope, which is a Nokia device with a microscope attachment, was the inspiration for a teeny-tiny film created by Sumo Science at Aardman. It stars a 9mm girl called Dot as she struggles through a microscopic world. All the minuscule detail was shot using CellScope technology and a Nokia N8, with its 12 megapixel camera and Carl Zeiss optics.

Reach Out Against Suicide Amongst Gay Teenagers

Advice columnist Dan Savage started this youtube channel that is supposed to show gay teenagers how much better and easier life gets once you are an adult, and how, despite all the abuse many of us have to suffer, eventually everyone has a chance for happiness. I feel this not only applies to gay teenagers, but teenagers on the whole. I hope this makes a difference.
