Raging whale hormones
Seaworld Orca incident tied to isolation and breeding schedules. The whale’s fate remains uncertain, but both Blake and Ellis believe it will not be killed, due to public outcry.

ScienceLab!! (hairy squid edition)
Doctors say because he cannot sweat or lose heat through his skin, it peels away in fish-like scales, Hi Fishboy. Little wonder, then, that the skull of Stortebeker has fascinated Germans for so long — and that its theft from a Hamburg museum last month has kept police busy.

ScienceLab! Bees:
The results showed that bees clearly prefer nectar containing nicotine and caffeine over the “clean” nectar. The preferred nicotine concentration was 1 milligram per liter, similar to that found in nature. Given a choice of higher levels of nicotine versus “clean” nectar, the bees preferred the latter.

ScienceLab! Hippo Island
The beady eyes, the pig-like grunts as the bulls’ position themselves to dominate each other via gay-rape, the way they waddle across fields of clover in Saharan oasis’, howling viscerally into the African night; I hate Hippos and always have. You go to hell Hippo, go to hell with your twitchy fat little ears, your [...]

ScienceLab: Beeheadings
Attenborough narrates the astonishing bloodletting/beeheading in the bit after the link. Click through and watch; its visceral.. The male bees are adapted to pursue one of two tactics for securing a mate.

Your grim future:
The system obtains its energy by foraging – engaging in biologically-inspired, organism-like, energy-harvesting behavior which is the equivalent of eating. It can find, ingest, and extract energy from biomass in the environment (and other organically-based energy sources), as well as use conventional and alternative fuels (such as gasoline, heavy fuel, kerosene, diesel, propane, coal, cooking [...]
