Naked Mole-Rats

Naked mole-rats have no hair at all. They have large teeth with a skin flap protecting from dirt. When hunger sets in they eat roots underground and tubers. Being smart enough not to eat them all so they grow back the following year. Their teeth help protect them against their large predator the snake. Scissor like actions are used to ward off nasties underground.

Naked mole-rats can live in groups up to 100 and they do have a queen. She checks on her burrowing workers and security soldiers (these rats don't work) and she is much bigger and heavier. The workers dig away to create complex burrow systems in hard clay soil. Inside their burrows they easily move forwards and backwards and can even sommersault. The critters are found mainly around central and eastern Ethiopia, Somalia and Kenya.

When disturbed or bothered naked mole-rats will honk or squeak. And being naked they only come out in the early morns or evening to protect their wrinkly skin.

Diamanda Galas Concert: Adelaide Town Hall, Sunday night

Last night we bought tickets to see Diamanda Galas at Adelaide Town Hall. It was absolutley amazing. This is the second concert we have been lucky to see and well worth it. Here is a lady who's voice range is four octaves. We were entertained for well over an hour and ten minutes of several severe emotions intertwined into extreme vocals and stunning sounding piano melodies. Quite frightening at times but stunningly peaceful at others. It has taken me ten years to accept she wont summon devils around me when I hear her music, and Im glad I stuck round.

A special breed of cats 'Twisty Kats'

These are specially bred cats. A genetical mutation called radial hypoplasia has occured in these cats, in which some or all of the elbow bone all the way to the wrist is non existent. Leaving the cats with zero front paws or vestigial paws. They must hop like kangaroos.
There are groups against this practice although it is not illegal in Texas where these cats are bred.
Perhaps more things in Texas should be banned though - example: making it illegal for residents of Texas to ever become President of The United States Of America!

Lets get back to Mutant creatures, ey?

5 legged 6 footed cow.

A man holds a two-headed baby goat in Bauta, Cuba. The baby goat breathes and feeds with both heads and closes and opens its four eyes at the same time. Vets do not expect the newly-born goat to live more than 10 days.
