Spider-Man Takes on New Form

Once again it looks like Mother Nature has been reading too many comic books. Photographer Cassio Lopes snapped the super creature clinging to a rock in the Maasai Mara National Park, Kenya, in a pose almost identical to Spidey’s famous crouch.

Diablo 3 Inspired Lizard – Satanic Leaf-tailed Gecko

Guess what this is

Blink and you may miss him. Meet the Mossy Leaf-tailed Gecko… Whose camouflage is so effective it’s almost impossible to tell it apart from the tree it’s resting on – keep looking for a button-shaped eye. The reptiles have skin flaps running the length of their face and body that can be laid flat against

Waiter there’s a new Species in my Soup

Where do scientists go to discover new species…the food markets in Asia. A monkey, a lizard, and an “extinct” bird have all been discovered en route to the dinner plate, and now a new shark species joins their ranks. Fish taxonomists found the previously unknown shark at a market in Taiwan—no big surprise, according to
