Killer Dolphins, Exploding Pythons and Giant Squid

Truth is always stranger than fiction - or so they say - I think these articles may back that up
Ninja Dolphins
Ok so dolphins are cool right ? - Not at all scary. I mean come on they are flipper, you know saving little Timmy from sharks and all that
It seems that this may now not be the case - perhaps because of killer ninja dolphins
Dolphins
This is like as not a hoax - but still entertaining
Exploding snakes
I saw a strange article today - and not strange in a good way.
It turns out that there are a heap of people who have been purchasing Pythons, and then when discovering that they can become somewhat large pets they have been getting rid of them by setting them free in the bayous.
Not so smart really if you read this article
Pythons
You should enlarge the picture it is really odd - and strangely not a hoax
Giant Squid
So they now have footage of a giant squid in the wild. It was taken by some Japanese researchers (I could make a joke about that - but I wont). Apparently they can gown up to 13m (that’s pretty big) and they are preyed on by Sperm Whales. Kinda strange to think that no one has seen one in the wild before - makes you wonder what else is out there.
Anyhow they still have no footage of the Colossal squid (not a very inventive name) but they are on the lookout for it - don’t think you will miss it at over 15m!
Giant squid
In other animal news a great white shark called Nicole (who the hell names these creatures - Nicole - what kind of name is that for a Great White Shark for gods sake!) swam the Indian ocean from South Africa, to Australia and back again in nine months - pretty impressive really
And Finally........
Sometimes you wonder how people get funding for these projects Penguin Poo
