South of the city of Singapore is an island called Sentosa. One of us suggested that we try talking to them using our fingers as tentacles. We wonder if anyone else has tried talking to the cuttlefish of Sentosa, or any other cuttlefish. Cuttlefish are predacious carnivorous cephalopods related to squid and octopus.

NAT GEO ADVENTURE – ADVENTURE TRAVEL VIDEOS Online: Epic Flights: Greenland adventure Photography by Chris Rose Towering and timeless, the icy peaks of Greenland’s remote west coast rise slowly into view at a distance of more than 150 miles. The sight of land—even harsh, imposing, desolate land—brings welcome relief from crossing over the Davis Strait, a 450-nm body of deep, ice-strewn ocean that separates northernmost Canada and Greenland. I’m flying with Adrian Eichhorn in his beautifully restored 1962 Beechcraft V35P Bonanza, and we’re part of a group of three Bonanzas that has come to this exotic place for absolutely no practical purpose. We’re not ferrying airplanes to Europe, searching for minerals or artifacts, installing radar sites, or doing the many other important tasks that have brought Americans to this polar region, on and off, for decades. We’re here because we share the same desire, ability, and curiosity to come, and the unmodified, single-engine general aviation airplanes we’re flying are well capable of covering the distance. Thanks for sharing The plan

Researchers have shown that an African gray parrot may comprehend the mathematical concept of zero—an abstract notion that human children rarely understand until around four years of age. The concept of zero is surprisingly difficult to grasp, even for people. "There is some understanding of nonexistence that seems to develop naturally, but the actual use of the term 'zero' seems to need to be taught," said comparative psychologist Irene Pepperberg. Pepperberg conducted the study at Brandeis University in Waltham, Massachusetts. The idea of zero as a nonexistent quantity was not obvious to early human cultures, Pepperberg said. Researchers in the United States and Japan have previously shown that chimpanzees and possibly squirrel monkeys can comprehend zero when taught. Zero Sum

By George Johnson PANBANISHA, a Bonobo chimpanzee who has become something of a star among animal language researchers, was strolling through the Georgia woods with a group of her fellow primates -- scientists at the Language Research Center at Georgia State University in Atlanta. Suddenly, the chimp pulled one of them aside. Grabbing a special keyboard of the kind used to teach severely retarded children to communicate, she repeatedly pressed three symbols -- "Fight," "Mad," "Austin" -- in various combinations. Austin is the name of another chimpanzee at the center. "Waa, waa, waa" said the chimpanzee, in what Dr. A decade and a half after the claims of animal language researchers were discredited as exaggerated self-delusions, Dr. Dr. But some philosophers, like Dr.
