GUESS WHO WON?? Here’s a clue: size doesn’t effin’ matter! Thanks to NatGeoTV for this fabulous weird bat versus spider fight-to-death video. It’s exhilarating to watch!!

I thought cats hated water.. but check out the cat below — swimming in a tub with its own rubber mousy!! I mean, mouse =)

Courtesy of the book of Guinness World Records, now in its 54th year. Here are the weird record-breakers:

Longest rabbit
Meet Amy, the rabbit pictured above! She measured at 81.5cm in Britain this year and is the pet of Annette Edwards. Amy to the Flemish giant breed, which is known to weigh up to 8kg. WHOA!

Largest rubber duck
The world’s largest plastic duck is 25m tall. Without a tub in the world big enough to hold it, the art exhibit found a home in a river near the port of Saint-Nazaire, France.

Most operations to look like an animal
Dennis Avner , of the United States, had 14 surgical procedures to make him look more like a cat. The operations included ear adjustments, forehead implants and changes to his upper lip and teeth. What was he thinking?? SO WEIRD!!

Most sumo squats in an hour
How many times can you squat in an hour? If you’re like Dr Thienna Ho, of Vietnam, then 5135 is a good session. The world record-holder for “most sumo squats in one hour” was inspired to practise her unusual talent by her judo master father. I can’t even squat properly, sheesh!

Yup, Komodo as in the awesome Komodo Dragon! Who would have thought they look like dinosaurs when they fight?? So amazing and weird to see reptiles fighting! And the Komodos move pretty fast too.. You won’t be able to outrun this weird creature if it attacks you :-p

It’s coz the brains of flies are wired to avoid the swatter. According to U.S. researchers who made their fly study results known last Thursday, at the mere hint of a threat, the flies adjust their preflight stance to flee in the opposite direction. Of course, you, the swatter is like “what?? where did it go??” Michael Dickinson of the California Institute of Technology explained, “These movements are made very rapidly, within about 200 milliseconds, but within that time the animal determines where the threat is coming from and activates an appropriate set of movements to position its legs and wings.”

Apparently, in response to a threat from the front, the fly moves its middle legs forward, leans back and raises its back legs for a backward takeoff. If the threat is from the side, the fly leans the other way before takeoff. Mr. Dickinson, whose research appears in the journal Current Biology, further explained: “This illustrates how rapidly the fly’s brain can process sensory information into an appropriate motor response.” So you, the swatter, not swat at the fly’s starting position, but instead, aim for the escape route.

We all know what puffer fishes are — they are fishes that have the ability to inflate themselves to beach ball size to escape predators. But, have you seen a puffer fish in action?? That is, it inflated itself when attacked by a predator? If not yet, go watch this video! Puffer fishes are simply weird and amazing!

And it’s sooo colorful that its most likely to be very, very poisonous! o_O Oh, yeah, this sea slug is called Nembrotha megalocera. It can be found at the Protector Reef in Red Sea, off Sudan at a depth of 8 meters. This species has close similarities in colour to a group of western Pacific species, including Nembrotha rutilans. It is reported to swim by lateral flexion when disturbed.

Looks familiar huh?? It’s actually the Australian version of the anteaters and it is called an Echidna. These are small mammals that are covered with coarse hair and spines, differentiating them from the anteaters of South America. Weird facts about them: 1. Female echidna lays egg — one of the two mammals that does so! The other is the platypus. 2. Male echidnas have a four-headed penis, but only two of the heads are used during mating. The other two heads “shut down” and do not grow in size. The heads used are swapped each time the mammal has sex. NICE! Hehe!

Below is the background story of this very touching and popular (3 million hits and counting!) video. I dare you to watch this and not get misty-eyed! Full story HERE.

Anthony “Ace” Bourke and John Rendall, two Australians living in the hip Chelsea section of London in 1969, one day bought a 35-pound lion cub in Harrods department store. Rendall and Bourke named the lion “Christian” and exercised him in the nearby St. John’s Church yard. After a year, the 35-pound cub had grown to 185 pounds, and feeding him became too expensive. Luckily, Rendall and Bourke made contact with a conservationist in Kenya (George Adamson) and flew Christian there.

In 1974, Adamson lost touch with Christian for three months. When he told Rendall and Bourke, the men decided to make one last trip to Kenya to attempt to say goodbye to Christian. A day before they landed in Kenya, Christian apparently waited for them near the camp. And when Rendall and Bourke finally arrived, the huge lion approaches from a distance, slowly at first. Then recognition sets in, and soon everyone — men and beast — are hugging and crying. And now, it’s time to watch the video! GO GO GO!!! =)

Guess who attacked first and guess who won?? And we all thought that the mongoose is a helpless animal and that the cobra snake is the one that we must fear — this video will change all your perceptions! Go watch!
