manta ray :: Article Creator Satellite Images Expose Massive Manta Ray Underwater Drone Docked At U.S. Navy Base In California Google Earth provides also a 3D view of Manta Ray UUV at Naval Surface Warfare Center, Port Hueneme, California (Image credit: Google Earth) Manta Ray is an extra-large glider UUV, developed by Northrop Grumman for DARPA and designed to undertake extended-duration, long-range, and payload-capable undersea missions independently, without requiring on-site human logistics.

the fish axolotl :: Article Creator Where Do Axolotls Live And Why Do They Look So Strange? The axolotl (Ambystoma mexicanum) fell into mythology centuries ago; the Aztecs believed that the first axolotl appeared in the lake system around modern day Mexico City when the powerful underworld god Xolotl transformed himself into a small, feathery amphibian to escape capture. Among the first modern zoo animals, 34 axolotls were brought from Mexico (along with three deer and three wild dogs) to the "Jardin zoologique d'acclimatation" in Paris in 1864. But where do axolotls live today, and why do they look so alien to us? Where Do Axolotls Live? Axolotls are a large, threatened species of salamander that live in fresh water — specifically in Lake Xochimilco in the southern part of Mexico City. Also, while they're sometimes called "Mexican walking fish," they're amphibians, not fish at all. What Do Axolotls Look Like?

my family is your pet :: Article Creator Why A Pet's Death Can Hurt Worse Than Losing A Human Loved One My first real pet was an auburn tabby named Lauren with a pinched face and a puffy tail. I picked her up in Silver Spring, Md., in September 2021, and by the time we got to my house in D.C. 30 minutes later, I was completely in love. The immediacy — and intensity — of how I felt about her was surprising and unfamiliar. And so was the emptiness that came with losing her only seven months later. (She was barely 1 year old and had developed FIP, a deadly strain of feline coronavirus that typically affects young cats.) "When you lose anybody, pet or human, that you're really close to, it can feel like the world is ending," says Jennifer Golbeck, a computer science professor at the University of Maryland and researcher of human-animal bonds. "Most people think of their pets as family members. … Sometimes, th

Least concern Least Concern Extinct Current Population Trend: Stable The short-horned lizard is often referred to as a "horned toad" or "horny toad" because its squat, flattened shape and short, blunt snout give it a toad-ish look.
