PHOTOS: Brilliant New Frog, Salamander Species Found
A camouflaged rain frog--a family of frogs known to call out to other members, even in a downpour--perches on a leaf in northwest Colombia. The frog, of the Pristimantis genus, is one of ten amphibian species discovered in this region in late 2008 that may be new to science, a February 2009 report says.



"Without a doubt, this region is a true Noah's Ark," said Jose Vicente Rodriguez-Mahecha, scientific director of Conservation International's Colombia office, in a statement.

skupno vsem religijam..

Common beliefs wish list:



1. An unknown higher intelligence created our Universe.



2. We are all connected through the higher intelligence that created us all.



3. We evolve continuously as do our understandings and belief systems.



4. All forms of life need their space to live and evolve unhindered.



5. Our survival is dependent on the sustainable use of shared resources.



6. Our happiness is interdependent therefore equality is paramount.



7. We seek peace and confront problems head on using peaceful means.



8. We celebrate life with every fresh breath of air.



9. We own nothing but the life we are given.


What else, or different?

napoved za leto 2009

Rapidly evolving DNA-sequencing techniques are increasingly being applied to animals, which could lead to smarter wildlife management.


New technologies allow scientists to spot changes in wildlife gene frequency quickly and affordably, said Timothy Beardsley, editor in chief of BioScience magazine, published by the American Institute of Biological Sciences.


By monitoring these genetic variants season to season, researchers can see how populations of animals move and reproduce within changing habitats.


"You can see where the physical borders and boundaries are that animals can't get by," Beardsley said.


"We can see the effects of evolutionary changes and changes in the landscape due to fragmentation and climate change—that gives us a much clearer look at wildlife populations," he added.


Tracking gene flow, for example, could reveal whether adjacent amphibian populations are intermingling as a large, healthy ecosystem—or whether they are blocked by a road at a critical point.

tko se govori!!

in kaj potem če prihaja recesija, brezposelnost, če imamo Patrie in SCT, če se politiki ne znajo dogovoriti med seboj, če imamo enega Falcona več, če imamo probleme s Hrvati, če imamo Rupla, inflacijo ali deflacijo, če imajo borzni indeksi nizke vrednosti, če je zunaj mrzlo vreme in ni sonca, če ne bomo šli na dopust zaradi finančne situacije, če nimamo Ferrarija doma v garaži, če si ne moremo kupiti trisobnega stanovanja, če so vinjete predrage, če so tujci samo v tranzitu čez Slovenijo, če je kuhanček samo brozga, če je pivo predrago in se mamil ne dobi, če pišemo in nas nihče ne bere, če delamo in smo zato slabo plačani, če nimamo časa za šport, če jemo nezdravo hrano in živimo pri starših, če razmišljamo o življenju pa ga ne znamo živeti, če se prepiramo za malenkosti, če…
eh, cut this shit..

Nasmejano v leto 2009!

Biawak

clipped from en.wikipedia.org

Monitor lizards or biawak are members of the family Varanidae, a group of carnivorous lizards which includes the heaviest living lizard, the Komodo dragon, with the crocodile monitor being the longest in the world. Varanidae is monotypic, containing only the genus Varanus. Their closest living relatives are the anguid and helodermatid lizards.[1]

Monitor lizards are generally large reptiles, although some can be as small as 12 centimetres in length. They have long necks, powerful tails and claws, and well-developed limbs. Most species are terrestrial, but arboreal and semi-aquatic monitors are also known. Almost all monitor lizards are carnivorous, although Varanus prasinus and Varanus olivaceus are also known to eat fruit.[2] They are oviparous, laying from 7 to 37 eggs, which they often cover with soil or protect in a hollow tree stump[3].
