The snow has melted around the tree in front of our house, leaving about a four inch gap all the way around the trunk. The snow has not melted around the wooden telephone pole a half block up from our house, on the same side of the street. What other scientifical conclusions can we draw from this shocking evidence except that trees are our warm-blooded brethren and sistren? Quick! Call the Texas educational system and demand that our children's textbooks be re-written!...

Animals on the Underground

Animals on the Underground 02/15/2004 03:45 PM

Sometimes it is a totally obvious and simple idea that is the most brilliant. Animals on the Underground is just that sort of brilliant, simple idea. Constellations of stars have been illustrated for centuries using the connect the dots technique, but applying it to the underground station map is clever and the animals are adorable. Maybe I'll dig out my underground map and try to find a few new ones.

"Infrason ic Symphony" Intrigued by reports of tsunami-avoidance behavior in Sri Lankan wildlife? Science News offers a timely antidote to simplistic mumbo-jumbo about the "mythical power" of animal earthquake detection with a detailed look at the latest research into low-frequency sound. The Elephant Listening Project is particularly interested in elephant rumblings that produce Rayleigh waves. "Mammals, birds, insects, and spiders can detect Rayleigh waves," notes The Explainer. "Most can feel the movement in their bodies, although some, like snakes and salamanders, put their ears to the ground in order to perceive it."

A few pictures from a trip to the Helsinki Hall of Taxidermy, a.k.a. the Finnish Museum of Natural History.

Ok, it's true, we were bored while Jarkko was on 2 weeks of holiday that didn't include a trip somewhere and also featured the 4-5 day Easter holiday. What do you do when you've got a few days to kill, no car, no plane tickets and don't want to sit at home answering email or aimlessly surfing the web from the couch? The Finnish Natural History Museum seemed like a good idea one afternoon. We went, we saw, we were impressed by the taxidermic skill and then we went to dinner. If you're into taxidermy and dioramas, head straight for this museum as it has them both in abundance.

On The Emperor's Animals... 10/29/2003 12:10 AM

So here's a concept for a new Typepad weblog, inspired by the quirky and immensely pleasing post categories on a friend's weblog. The concept is called The Emperor's Animals and is basically a collection of funny animal links and stories from around the web. The site is designed to resemble 18th/19th Century illustrated guide to fabulous beasts and uses as post categories the The Celestial Emporium of Benevolent Knowledge typology of animals outlined in Jorge Luis Borges' The Analytical Language of John Wilkins. Please please will someone make this. I'd read it every day! Just in case you don't know them off-by-heart already, these categories are:

1. belonging to the Emperor
2. embalmed
3. trained
4. pigs
5. sirens
6. fabulous
7. stray dogs
8. included in this classification
9. trembling like crazy
10. innumerable
11. drawn with a very fine camelhair brush
12. et cetera
13. just broke the vase
14. from a distance look like flies

Animals escaped tsunami

Animals escaped tsunami 12/31/2004 10:26 AM
David Pescovitz: While tens of thousands of people along the Sri Lankan coast were killed by the tsunami, wildlife officials say that they haven't found any dead animals. The waves swept inland to the island's largest wildlife reserve but none of the elephants, tigers, jackals, crocodiles, or other animals drowned. From the BBC:

Debbie Marter, who works on a wild tiger conservation programme on the Indonesian island of Sumatra, one of the worst-hit areas in Sunday's disaster, said she was not surprised to hear there were no dead animals.

"Wild animals in particular are extremely sensitive," she said. "They've got extremely good hearing and they will probably have heard this flood coming in the distance. There would have been vibration and there may also have been changes in the air pressure which will have alerted animals and made them move to wherever they felt safer."

Tumors grow just like animals

Tumors grow just like animals 11/17/2003 05:46 AM
The same equations used to model animal growth also describe the growth of tumors:

As an animal's mass increases, so does the number of cells within it. But the blood supply that feeds those cells grows more slowly. As a result, an increasing proportion of the available nutrients go towards maintaining existing cells rather than the growth of new ones, so the rate of growth slows and ultimately comes to a halt...

When they compared their predictions to the growth of 13 rodent or human tumours, they found the tumours' growth closely followed the same universal law.

Animals laugh says scientist

Animals laugh says scientist 04/06/2005 12:36 PM
David Pescovitz: Dogs, chimps, and rats laugh when they're having fun, according to psychologist Jack Panksepp of Bowling Green State University. Reporting in the journal Scien ce, Panksepp suggests that laughter may be an ancient emotional response older than humans. From BBC News:

Young chimps "play pant" as they mischievously chase and tickle each other.

And when rats play, they make chirps which some scientists associate with positive emotional feelings.

When rats are tickled in a playful way, they become socially bonded to humans and are rapidly conditioned to seek tickles, the US neuroscientist explains in Science.
