Tuesday, September 24, 2013, 3:19:13 AM- Bat Toad ......... | ||||||
Not knowing the story, it would be hard to explain exactly what's going on in this picture. Is it a new species? A mutant? A Photoshopped chimera? Nope; the subject of the picture above is weirder than that. Taken by a park ranger deep in a Peruvian rainforest, the shot shows a cane toad attempting to swallow a bat — whole. Yufani Olaya told the Rainforest Expeditions blog that he witnessed the entire drama play out while on duty in Cerros de Amotape national park. According to Olaya, this cane toad (Bufo marinus) was simply sitting on the ground with its mouth open, likely hoping to find an unwary insect to gobble, when the bat entered its vicinity — perhaps thinking the same thing. Either mistakenly or with deadly intent, the toad reportedly lunged out and clamped its ample jaws down on the hapless mammal, or as much of it as it could cram in. The wings and tail, sticking out, lent a comic cast to the scene as Olaya snapped the picture. "Toads are voracious and will eat pretty much anything that moves and can fit in their mouth," Adam Leaché, assistant professor of herpetology at the University of Washington, wrote in an email to NBC News. But, he added, "I've never seen something like this before." This would be curtains for a beetle or millipede, but either the taste or the size of the bat seemed to disagree with the toad — and after a moment which likely proved uncomfortable for both the devourer and devouree, the toad spat out its would-be dinner. "Cane toads don't have teeth, so the strategy is crush and swallow," wrote Charles Linkem, postdoctoral fellow at UW's biology department and a colleague of Leaché's, in an email to NBC News. "The bat was a little big for that. The toad "may have tried to reposition its mouth to swallow and that was when the bat was able to escape." Olaya thought the bat was finished for sure, but amazingly, the creature shook it off and flew away shortly thereafter. Cane toads are not very picky eaters, which has allowed them to invade many habitats. While none have been observed eating a bat before, neither Leaché nor Linkem saw any reason why it should not be possible. "It could be this population of toads have developed a strategy for feeding on low flying bats and that this is more common, but never observed before now," Linkem speculated. "It's hard to know without more information." Leaché did caution, however, that there's also no hard evidence that the toad caught the bat in flight, as opposed to ambushing it on the ground, or getting at it by some other means. And the claws and bones of the bat might make digestion and excretion an issue for the toad. Whatever the case, it makes for a great photo — even if it looks like neither the toad nor the bat was enjoying itself. Devin Coldewey is a contributing writer for NBC News Digital.

Thursday, September 19, 2013, 4:34:50 PM- Baking ...... | ||||||
Yesterday I went out with a neighbour to Target, where she bought a new coffee maker as her one spewed pots of coffee all over her worktop twice. Then when we came back and went to our respective homes I decided to bake. I made 2 large Banana Bread loaves and 8 small Loaves. I also made 2 large Banana and Coconut loaves and 4 small ones. I sent Rocky to work with 1 large Banana loaf for him to share out. Today I am going to share out the rest with my neighbours. Last night Rocky and I had some Banana & Coconut loaf with some whipped topping - it was very nice and I sprinkled some coconut on top to give the loaf a crispy texture. I also made about 3-4 dozen Banana & Oatmeal cookies - I packed some in a baggie and sent Rocky off to work with him Today by 9.20am I had made 3 Bread Puddings and had them in the oven cooking. 1 Bread Pudding for the in-laws and 1 for us and then another 1 to share between my girly neighbours So everyone should be happy little garden gnomes lol. Bread Pudding. Banana Breads. Coconut Banana Bread. Banana & Oatmeal Cookies. Enjoy ..... Elle xox | ||||||

DENVER (AP) - Denver is a step closer to approving a fee for plastic and paper bags at grocery and convenience stores. The Denver City Council gave initial approval Monday to the 5-cent fee that would be charged at the register. The final vote will be Sept. 30 after a public hearing. In my home town Southend-on-Sea, England, - This already happens - Recycle people and take your re-usable bags to the shops. | ||||||
