Walking Into Death

Dr Temple Grandin is an expert in animal behaviour and works as a consultant for Slaughter Houses. One of the problems facilities can have is, (as you can imagine) getting animals into the facility calmly so they can be killed.

She has a YouTube Channel with everything you ever wanted to know about leading an animal to it's death in a way where it will just walk right into the facility and be calm right through the process. I found her videos to be morbid, but interesting.

Barreleye Fish Seen In Wild

I sometimes wonder wither I should have gone into Zoology. So the National Geographic has the First Photos of the Barreleye fish in the wild. This is significant because since the fish was first discovered in 1939 by Chapman, only corpses had been studied, but in the wild it is clear that it is a fish with eyes inside a transparent head. The new discovery here is that it can rotate it's eyes to look up when possibly searching for food or forwards when it eats. What it eats however is still kind of a mystery.

Science, Primates And Sperm

Jacquelin Nascimento is part of a project to findout which primate has the fastest sperm. Not sure who her funders are, but it is quite an odd project.
