It was scientists at UC Berkeley who developed a way to literally see what your brain sees, and they did it by manipulating the magic of YouTube.

7 Animals That Are Evolving Right Before Our Eyes People who doubt evolution tend to have one main argument: "If evolution is true, why do we still see monkeys running around today, all chimp-like? Where are all the monkey-men I was promised?"

BBC News | SCI/TECH | Zebra hybrid is cute surprise A Shetland pony on a UK farm has surprised its owners by giving birth to a half-zebra foal. The hybrid animal, now a week old, appears healthy and is bouncing around its paddock at the Eden Ostrich World, at Langwathby Hall Farm, near Penrith, Cumbria. The owners of the pony, called Tilly, had no idea she was pregnant when they bought her from a wildlife park, where she had been kept in a field with a male zebra. "She was fairly fat when we received her and we thought that she was getting fatter," Karen Pete said. "It really was a bit of a shock when we got up one morning and we saw the foal that was there. We realised then what had happened." Genetic difference A cross between a horse and a zebra is rare but by no means unheard of. The Cumbrian foal would probably be called a zorse, although some commentators have suggested it might better be termed a zetland. Hybrids are an interesting curiosity. Hybrids are not easy to create, however. A horse has 64 chromosomes; the zebra has 44.
