The southern right whale dolphin

2011-01-12T08:45:00.000-08:00

The southern right whale dolphin is a an underwater mammal that can be found in the cool waters of the southern hemisphere. This animal was first published in 1804 by Bernard Germain de Lacepede. Other names for this creature include the Right Whale Dolphin.

One of the distinguishing characteristics between the southern right whale dolphin and other dolphins are that this is the only dolphin in the southern hemisphere that does not have dorsal fins. These creatures have a short and streamlined body with a defined beak. It is black and white in colour, with white being its underside. It is a very fast and active swimmer which may approach boats. Newborns are about 80 cm to 1 metre long, while adults are usually double or triple that size. Females are sometimes slightly longer than males. Adults will weigh about 60 to 100 kg.
Southern right whale dolphins have 43 – 49 teeth in each row of their jaws. Their diet consists of octopus, squid, and fish. Its prey includes the Patagonian toothfish and possibly sharks.

These dolphins are only found in the southern hemisphere
In terms of range, they can usually be found in sub-antarctic oceans and sub-tropican oceans in the southern hemisphere. The population of the Southern right whale dolphin has not been estimated or closely studied. However, we do know that there are large populations of this dolphin on the west coast of South America. Unfortunately, they are also targeted by whaling operations. It is also known that they are abundant around New Zealand as well as the southern coast of Africa such as near Namibia. They will travel in pods of up to 1000 individuals, but 52 is the average pod size.

Everyone knows the universe is huge, but most people don't understand how huge it really is. This article will try to show the amazingly massive scale of the universe to you. It surely is a very humbling experience!

Earth - Our Home

This is our Home. All of us live, love, wage wars, spend our entire lifetimes here.

Earth compared to smaller Planets in our Solar System

Compared to our Sun

Our Sun compared to other Stars

Our Sun is just a tiny speck compared to other stars!

Hard to even make out in the picture with the Sun just 1 pixel wide. Jupiter becomes invisible at this scale.

Milky Way - Our Galaxy

There are 200-400 billion stars in the Milky Way.

The stellar disk of the Milky Way Galaxy is approximately 100,000 light-years in diameter, and is considered to be, on average, about 1,000 ly thick.

Our Milky Way galaxy is small compared to other galaxies. Our neighbouring Andromeda Galaxy has over one trillion stars!

The Observable Universe

This is a Hubble Ultra Deep Field image of a small region of the observable universe (equivalent sky area size shown in bottom left corner).

Each spot is a galaxy, consisting of billions of stars. There are more than 170 billion galaxies in the observable universe.

Top 10 Animal Gourmets

2011-01-10T08:34:00.000-08:00

It's always chow time in the animal kingdom, and while some creatures just devour whatever they kill, others take a little more time to prepare a meal. In fact, some of their routines are very similar to the cooking techniques humans use. Although food processers, knives, blenders and canning tools aren't in an animal's culinary repertoire, they do employ some rather ingenious methods that seem to work just as well. From a bird that kabobs its food to one that has a very interesting food preservation technique, here are 10 of the most unusual animal gourmets, who prove they're executive chefs in their own ways.

10. Giant Anteater

Although they might seem like vacuum cleaners, collecting ants like crumbs with one big sniff of their snout, it's not quite that easy for giant anteaters. To capture a meal, first these mammals use their large claws to open a colony or tree trunk. From there, they must act quickly, because the tiny insects they're feasting on don't go down without a fight and could sting them.

What look like really long noses are actually anteaters' jaws, so they aren't snorting ants at all. Instead, they use their long tongues to collect their meals. According to the Smithsonian National Zoo (SNZ), giant anteaters' tongues are 2 feet (.6 meters) long and their saliva acts as glue, which makes it easy to gather up their tiny victims quickly. Instead of teeth, anteaters have hard growths on the inside of their mouths that act like food processors, crushing insects as they are consumed. SNZ also reports some anteaters have been known to swallow small stones that continue the crushing process in their stomachs. At one sitting, giant anteaters can eat a few thousand insects within minutes, so they need all the kitchen aid they can get.

9. Leafcutter Ant

Leafcutter ants are different from other species of ants in the way they make their food. In fact, according to the Chicago-based Lincoln Park Zoo (LPZ), these ants are the first animals known to cultivate their own crops like farmers. They get their name because of their ability to cut leaves from trees with their scissor-like mandibles. Once leaves are cut, each ant carries a leaf back to the colony where the leaves are added to a pile, similar to a compost heap. Worker ants then add their feces or saliva to the leaves, which acts as a kind of fertilizer to help the leaves grow fungus. They later use the resulting fungus to feed ant larvae. While the baby ants eat the nutrient-rich fungus, adult ants feast on sap that's also produced from the leaves.

8. Nursery Web Spider

The male nursery web spider's mating ritual includes a recipe for romance. He knows it takes more than just showing up on a girl's web to mate with her, so this eight-legged Casanova goes above and beyond. The spider will take an insect that's landed in his web and wrap it tightly in silk like a beautiful gift. Once the male nursery web spider sets his sights on a mate, he takes the silk-wrapped insect and presents it to his ladylove. While the female nursery web spider enjoys -- and is distracted by -- this tasty treat, the male makes his move and mates with her. Sometimes desperate times call for desperate measures, and a male spider might wrap up a non-edible object, like a small pebble, if an insect can't be found. This gift is still accepted by the female, but the male has to act fast because she will attack when she unwraps the offering and realizes his act of deception.
