The crab used Maxwell's silver hammer and got away.

Bang bang!

Now they need an exterminator.

I wonder how an octopus would react to micro gravity?

Don't have a photo, but it turns out I have wild minks living at my cottage. Saturday morning, I was drinking a coffee by the lake when I heard a noise, when I looked down I saw what I thought was a skinny squirrel with a fish in its mouth. He took one look at me, darted inside some weeds and immediately re-appeared minus the fish. He then started darting around rocks to take a better look at me ( I was standing motionless to not scare him off), he finally flashed his teeth presumably to intimidate me and dove in the Lake.

Aggressive little buggers.

I frequently get the same curious looks from our local Timber Tigers.

We need to open a

thread about weasels, minks, and polecats...and ferrets!!

In 5 million years he will be the dominant species here. I know there are lots of times I wish I had 3 arms, let alone 8

Move over

!!!

In an effort to use a fake, life-sized orca to scare off hundreds of sea lions crowding docks off the Oregon coast ended, at least temporarily, with the fiberglass creature belly-up after it was swamped by a passing ship.
Still, Port of Astoria Executive Director Jim Knight said the sea lions briefly "got deathly silent" when the orca sailed into view. That was just before it started listing and tipped over Thursday night." "Our crew from the port had to go rescue the operator so he didn't drown.
"You can't make this stuff up," http://www.cbsnews.com/news/oregon-sea-lions-fake-orca/

It was a cunning scheme, one that pitted the sly artifice of man against whatever it is sea lions have. But alas—nature won.

It was almost a Killer Whale.

Thanks for pointing that out.

Just found this while in another U boot discovery thread: http://www.bbc.com/news/uk-scotland-south-scotland-37691283

Quote:

The entire crew of the U-boat is reported to have abandoned ship due to the "monster attack".

Once aboard the British ship HM Drifter Coreopsis, their commander, Captain Krech described their encounter.
He is said to have spoken of a beast with "large eyes, set in a horny sort of skull…with teeth that could be seen glistening in the moonlight".
He apparently claimed that the sub was so damaged in its battle with the "monster", it could no longer submerge.
