Weird


BAR HARBOR, Maine -- A rare two-toned lobster is seen in Bar Harbor, Maine. The lobster caught by Alan Robinson in Dyer's Bay is a typical mottled green on one side; the other side is a shade of orange that looks cooked. Robinson, of Steuben, donated the lobster to the Mount Desert Oceanarium. Staff members say the odds or finding a half-and-half lobster are 1 in 50 million to 100 million.

HOLLY HILL, Fla. -- An Ibis, shot with a 2-foot arrow, sits on a power line and looks down on bird rescuers waiting below hoping to capture the injured bird. After hours waiting and several attempts, the bird eluded capture. (07/12/06 AP photo)





LINCOLN, Neb. -- A rainbow trout fished out of Holmes Lake in Lincoln, Neb., on Dec. 17, 2005, features a double mouth. Clarence Olberding, 57, of Lincoln, wasn't just telling a fisherman's fib when he called over another angler to look at the two-mouthed trout. It weighed in at about a pound. Olberding, who plans to smoke and eat the fish, said the hook was in the upper mouth, and that the lower one did not appear to be functional. (12/22/05 AP photo)



Wow



PARIS -- This photo released by the IFREMER (French Research Institute for Exploitation of the Sea) shows a new crustacean called "Kiwa hirsuta". The eyeless shellfish, about 15cm long, was discovered in March 2005 during a diving mission led by American researcher Robert Vrijenhoek, of the MBARI Institute, in hydrothermal vents of the Pacific Antartic Ridge, south of Easter Island.
