When Exigua Got Your Tongue, It's For Real.

Posted by Alex in Animal, Everything Else on September 6, 2005 at 11:59 pm

Cymothoa exigua is an insect that grabs onto a fish’s tongue, and slowly eats away at it until only a stub is left. It then replaces the tongue with its own body, living comfortably inside the fish’s mouth. Link

Just because you’re working in an office doesn’t mean that you can’t drink – it just takes a little creativity… Link (via Unique Daily)

Yoda, The Oldest Mouse in the World.

Posted by Alex in Animal, Everything Else on September 6, 2005 at 11:57 pm

Yoda (the small brown mouse on the left) was the world’s oldest mouse. It lived for 4 years and 12 days, or double the average lifespan of a regular mouse.

Yoda’s secret? No, not calorie-restricted diet. Instead, Yoda was the result of selective breeding – this strain of mice stay smaller and age more slowly. Link

Another strain of mice, bred to have a more active anti aging protein called Klotho, live between 19% to 31% longer than normal mice. Link
