For years, scientists have been trying to get a good look at the strange little creature shown above. Known as a jerboa, it lives in the deserts of China and Mongolia and boasts "one of the biggest ear-to-body ratios" in the world. But until recently, few of the tiny, nocturnal creatures had ever been spotted. Now British scientists have managed to film a few jerboas in action, hopping around like minature kangaroos. I urge you to check out some of the hilarious footage that's been posted on the BBC's website.
(And yes, I posted this 'cause they're cute. The dangerous post is coming up next.)
Oooh...usually I would say cute, but...not really...
ReplyDeleteI was just on Amazon, and they have come out with this thing called "Kindle". You can download books ono it. "Books of the Future," I guess. An Ipod for reading? NO WAY!!!
This will ruin the whole CONCEPT and SATISFACTION of reading!!! It won't catch on, I promise you.
Have you ever thought of a Kindle Kiki Strike? Please don't!

ReplyDeleteI saw the Kindle thingy on amazon a while ago. It's the worst thing ever! I guess ONE (just ONE) good thing about it is that it saves a lot of paper, but it's stupid anyway.
