Animal Oddity - Albino Pink Elephant Calf

A rare albino elephant calf is captured on camera in the Okavango region of Botswana. Experts say albino elephants are usually not white but have more of a reddish-brown or pink hue, according to the BBC. Albinism is thought to be fairly common among Asian elephants but is not so common in larger African elephants. (Mike Holding/AfriScreen Films)

Animal Oddity - Two-nosed Bunny

A Connecticut pet shop worker found the two-nosed bunny in a delivery of 6-week-old dwarf rabbits that arrived at the Milford store last week, according to The Associated Press. Both noses have two nostrils. The bunny eats, drinks and hops around just like the other bunnies in the litter. Gregg Dancho, director of the state's Beardsley Zoo, told The Associated Press that the deformity could be the result of too much inbreeding or the parents' exposure to pesticides or poisons. Workers at the pet store have started a naming contest for the bunny. Cyrano de Bergerac and Deuce are in the running so far. In this photo, Iris Bergeron, an employee of Purr-Fect Pets, holds the bunny, March 31, 2009.

Animal Oddity - Giant Killer Worm

A 4-foot-long giant sea worm has been discovered at an aquarium in the U.K. Workers at Newquay's Blue Reef Aquarium unearthed the creature while they were trying to figure out what was attacking a coral reef and prize fish, the U.K.'s Daily Mail reported. The Daily Mail said the tropical worm, named Barry, is capable of permanently numbing humans with its sting.

River of Garbage in Asia

I don't know about you but I cannot see the river. I see photos of river full of rubbish or garbage. The mentioned rivers are Citarum River of Indonesia and Pasig River of the Philippines. The rivers are basically dead and it will takes decades to restore life into the river, if there is effort made on it. Luckily of us in Borneo, we haven't see a chronic state of our rivers.


See the bridge, you can imagine how wide the river is. Now all covered with garbage. Location: Citarum River in Indonesia [Photo source]
