Temat: Iconic whale dies at Mystic Aquarium
Whale at Conn. aquarium dies of kidney failure A male beluga whale that lived at Mystic Aquarium in Connecticut for 11 years has died of kidney failure. Aquarium officials said the whale, named Inuk, died overnight Saturday. Aquarium officials discovered the 28-year-old whale was sick Jan. 29 after noticing he had no interest in food. Inuk's body was taken Saturday to the University of Connecticut for a necropsy to determine the cause of his kidney failure. Inuk was about 13 feet long and weighed 2,300 pounds. He was one of four belugas at Mystic and part of a program that allows visitors to wade into the water and interact with the whales. Mystic executive Tracy Romano said Inuk was "an iconic animal" who provided staff and visitors with years of pleasure and educational inspiration. Source

Morocco ⏠At Agadir in Morocco, reports Peter Kolosimo, the French Captain Lafanechere "discovered a complete arsenal of hunting weapons including five hundred double-edged axes weighing seventeen and a half pounds, which were twenty times as heavy as would be convenient for modern man. To handle the axe at all one would need to have hands of a size appropriate to a giant with a stature of at least 13 feet."

Temat: Do You Know This Cephalopod? Florida Squid Find Defies ID.
...Sarasota, Florida (Feb 27, 2007 15:25 EST) Scientists at Florida's Mote Marine Laboratory are trying to figure out the identity of a large squid found off the Florida Keys by a charter captain last week. Capt. Clint Moore was fishing in 850 feet of water near the Gulf Stream southwest of Key West Tuesday when he saw a large mass floating at the surface. Moore realized the creature was a squid and took it aboard. At the dock, he estimated the squid to be 13 feet long but realized it was not fully intact. The animal was taken to Mote Marine Laboratory in Sarasota where Debi Ingrao performed a necropsy on Thursday. "The tail section was gone; it had no tentacles, so I can't speculate what the overall length was," Ingrao said. "What we have is 6.5 feet long. It weighed 13.2 pounds, but it may have been more than that." Ingrao also realized the squid was something strange to Florida waters....

Temat: Genji 2: Days of the Blade (wczesniej Giant Enemy Crab ;P )
The Japanese spider crab (Macrocheira kaempferi) is the largest crab alive; fully grown it can reach a leg span of almost 4 m ( 13 feet), a body size of up to 37 cm (15 inches) and a weight of up to 20 kg (44 pounds). The crab's natural habitat is on the bottom of the Pacific Ocean (some 300 m-400 m deep) around Japan, where it feeds on dead animals and shellfish. It is believed to have a life expectancy of up to 100 years. wiesz, dante, te z Genji raczej nie łapią się pod tą definicję. :rower:

Temat: An Underwater Holocaust - Caribbean Corals
...Caribbean. Key fish species use coral as habitat and feeding grounds. Reefs limit the damage from hurricanes and tsunamis. More recently they are being touted as possible sources for new medicines. If coral reefs die "you lose the goose with golden eggs" that are key parts of small island economies, said Edwin Hernandez-Delgado, a University of Puerto Rico biology researcher. On Sunday, Hernandez-Delgado found a colony of 800-year-old star coral -- more than 13 feet high -- that had just died in the waters off Puerto Rico. "We did lose entire colonies," he said. "This is something we have never seen before." On Wednesday, Tyler Smith, coordinator of the U.S. Virgin Islands Coral Reef Monitoring program, dived at a popular spot for tourists in St. Thomas and saw an old chunk of brain coral, about 3 feet in diameter, that was at least 90 percent dead from the disease called "white plague."...

...was too severe for a young plant. My guess is that the hardiness is comparable with the small leaved form of Fargesia robusta. Like Fargesia robusta, new shoots of this new bamboo develop rather early. If we should decide to group bamboos, these two would certainly be placed together. One important difference from Fargesia robusta is the long slender leaf and the beautiful gracious arrangement of the leaves. After about three years of growth the bamboo has almost reached 4m ( 13 feet). If we consider the culm width of 2cm, this bamboo will develop into a giant Fargesia, and will (perhaps) someday get its own name. Fargesia sp. Jiuzhaigou In recent years a number of important new introductions of Fargesia nitida and related types have been imported into Europe. The German pharmacist Stephan Wagner collected the most striking and perhaps the most beautiful form of all, around 1986. He found this bamboo as a seedling at the Jiuzhaigou Park...

Temat: 1,200 Pound Tiger Shark Butchered
...expeditions a summer. "I was just about entering REM when I heard about 10 people screaming my name. It was like I had come out of a coma." Sacco says he knew the fish had to be enormous to take the deep bait. He just didn't know how big, nor did he know how long it would take him to reel it in before heading in to the weigh station. After a two-hour battle to land the fish, it was another hour-plus before they got it loaded - partially - on the boat. As they headed in, almost 13 feet of shark was hanging off the back of the boat because of its massive size. "We were doing about 27 knots, but I knew it wasn't going to be enough," says Sacco. "I wanted to think positively, but as soon as we rounded Chappaquiddick Island, I just knew we weren't going to have enough time." Six minutes is what separated Sacco from cash and prizes that would have totaled nearly $200,000. "I don't kill many sharks," says Sacco,...

Temat: Put the D-tag on the Manatee
...Nowacek and colleagues reasoned the tag could be used on manatees. Once the marine mammalsâ behavior was better understood, boaters could be educated and adjust their own behavior on the water to cause less harm to manatees. The âÂÂscar catalogueâ While a squeaky-voiced cartoon mouse may capture hearts in central Florida, manatees have charmed people along the stateâÂÂs coasts. Round-headed and squinty-eyed, their bodies are up to 13 feet long and shaped like an overstuffed pillow. Despite their lumbering appearance, they are graceful swimmersâÂÂand to many, a vanishing symbol of wild Florida. Since 1966, they have been listed as endangered species. Wildlife refuges have been established for them, and tourists pay for supervised swims in their company. Manateesâ spend quiet lives resting and eating grass near the surface, where they share space with an increasing numbers of...
