Woman Discovers World’s First Orange Alligator

A woman in Venice, Fl, has discovered what appears to be the world’s first orange alligator. Sylvia Mythen was returning home from work when she snapped this picture to send to her grandkids.

While some biologists believe the gator may be half albino, experts with the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission believe the animal’s odd color is the result of paint or stain that spilled into its habitat.

This little sea piglet is one of 15 animals Web Ecoist chose as the top  strangest animals. The list is certainly worth a look.

Weirdest Animals of 2008

Posted by Queuebot in Animals & Pets, Science & Tech on January 12, 2009 at 12:56 pm

Catherine Brahic of New Scientist blog wrote a pretty neat post about the weirdest animals species of 2008. Take, for instance, the "bone breaking horror frog":

“Amphibian horror” isn’t a movie genre, but on this evidence perhaps it should be. In May, biologists described a hairy frog that actively breaks its own bones to produce claws that puncture their way out of the frog’s toe pads, probably when it is threatened.
