The largest of all monkeys, mandrills are impressive figures best known for their stunning coloring. While every color of the rainbow can be found in all manner of life, even Charles Darwin noted that “no other member in the whole class of mammals is colored in so extraordinary a manner as the adult male mandrills.” In his book The Descent of Man, and Selection in Relation to Sex, Darwin refers to these variegated primates often. Perhaps one of the first to record this species, he certainly paved the way to further study and understanding of them.

How Painful is a Warrior Wasp Sting?

how painful is warrior wasp sting

While bees have pretty monikers like “honey” and “bumble” attached to them, wasps come with rather more sinister titles – the “executioner” or the “warrior”. Warrior wasps, which can be found in central or south America, are named after their aggressive behavior, which includes threatening displays of wing-beating and creating a war drum sound by scraping their mandibles on the insides of their nests.

How Do Giraffes Mate?

Don’t let giraffes fool you. They might look weird and wonderful enough to put in a list of the 10 cutest animals, with their absurdly long necks and tennis ball eyes, but giraffes are darker and more dangerous than you know. We’ve written before about the awesome power of a giraffe kick, but did you know they could also use those long necks as clubs, smashing at enemies and each other with the hard, knobbly ossicones atop their heads? At moments like these, look more like something from “Jurassic Park” than “The Lion King”.

Cymothoa Exigua – Everything You Wanted To Know About The Tongue Eating Louse

Cymothoa Exigua

(photo: “File:Amphiprion clarkii – Cymothoa exigua (28999213532).jpg” by Christian Gloor from Wakatobi Dive Resort, Indonesia)

"Nature reserves the right to inflict upon her children the most terrifying jests,” the playwright Thornton Wilder once wrote. And while he wasn’t pointing the finger at Cymothoa Exigua, specifically – this nightmarish crustacean wasn’t discovered until this century, and Wilder died in 1975 – the description certainly fits. If you’ve managed to get through life without hearing of this aquatic horror, then it might give you a clue to know it is more commonly called the tongue eating louse (we’ll call it a cymothoa exigua for short). Which sounds bad, but doesn’t capture the full horror of this creature’s life cycle.
