Florida Surfer Rescues Drowning Loggerhead Sea Turtle On a good day, a surfer is one with the ocean waves. On a really good day, he’s a hero, too. Cocoa Beach, Florida -- A surfer came to the rescue of a loggerhead sea turtle that was tangled in fishing lines just south of the Cocoa Beach Pier this afternoon. The turtle's flippers were so entangled that it could be seen gasping for air from the ocean's surface as it struggled to free itself from the mono-filament. Seeing the marine reptile in distress, a nearby surfer paddled over to help the sea turtle while risking a possible bite from the animal. Loggerhead sea turtles have a bite force so powerful, that they can easily tear through a conch shell - a mainstay of the turtle's diet. After a few minutes, the surfer had completely untangled the sea turtle and it swam away. Loggerheads are considered an endangered species and are protected by the International Union for the Conservation of Nature.
Jack Russell Terrier And Jaguar Are Best Pals Jack Russell Terrier and jaguar are inseparable friends A pint-sized Jack Russell terrier named Bullet and his buddy Jag (you guessed it, a jaguar) prove that even the greatest feline-canine differences can be overcome. According to a video by Barcroft TV, Jag met Bullet when he was brought to South Africa's Akwaaba Lodge and Predator Park. The resort is home to many domesticated African cats that interact with guests. Bullet became a source of comfort to Jag in the new environment and they've been inseparable ever since. Jaguars are large, powerful animals with very strong jaws that can even bite through turtle shells. Although jaguars are often tawny-colored, they can vary from reddish-brown to black. The term "jaguar" comes from the Native American word "yaguar", which means "he who kills with one leap." Young cubs are born blind and helpless. VIDEO Cute Dog and Jaguar Are Best Friends
Dressed to live - Wildlife Styles (full documentary) Licked by a Wolf How do pain relievers work? - George Zaidan All those different brands, varieties, and strengths filling the shelves at the drugstore can give anyone a headache! While there may be a hundred different colored boxes and bottles on the shelf, Alice (of Go Ask Alice fame) explains the four basic types of non-prescription pain-relievers. One of the most strangest types of pain comes from hitting your “funny bone.” Mentalfloss writes that the "funny bone" is neither funny (when you whack it on the edge of a piece of furniture), nor a bone (whether you whack it or not). Where'd the name come from, and why is it so painful? What happens when you can’t feel pain?
Solar magnetism twists braids of superheated gas A rocket-borne camera has provided some of the sharpest images yet of the Sun's corona, the hot layer of gas that extends more than a million kilometres above the solar surface. The corona is millions of degrees hotter than the layer of gas beneath it, but nobody knows precisely why. "It's counter-intuitive for us here on Earth because as you go up in altitude, the temperature decreases," says Jonathan Cirtain, an astrophysicist at NASA's Marshall Space Flight Center in Huntsville, Alabama. Nature podcast Geoff Brumfiel hears from researcher Jonathan Cirtain why the Sun’s atmosphere is hotter than its surface. For decades, researchers have suspected that powerful magnetic fields are heating the corona. A closer look The problem is that nobody has been able to see the magnetic fields in close-up until now. A team member started analysing the data on the drive back from the missile range, and immediately saw evidence of braids in the twists of coronal gas.
Lighting the way for safe childbirth The "solar suitcases" designed by We Care Solar are saving lives around the worldMany mothers, babies are dying because their health facilities lack reliable electricityOne of the solar kits also helped during a recent cholera outbreak in the Congo (CNN) -- Solar energy in a suitcase is an invention saving lives around the world in places that lack reliable electricity. Dr. Laura Stachel discovered several years ago that many women and babies were dying during childbirth simply because there wasn't adequate light to treat them. So she and her husband came up with a portable solar energy kit to provide light and power when necessary. Since 2009, their nonprofit, We Care Solar, has given out nearly 250 free kits to medical facilities in Africa, Asia and South America. "A lot of the clinics don't have any electricity," Stachel said. On his first day with the kit, a doctor from the Congo delivered a woman with twins. CNN Hero: Dr. Want to get involved?
Sped-up video of ocean creatures is kind of terrifying You know what? We take it back. Don’t save the oceans. There’s some really freaky stuff in there. This video consists of 150,000 shots of corals and sponges, compressed into less than four minutes. A lot of the motion is intended for desedimentation, shaking off detritus like sand and fish excrement that threaten to bury them. Photographer Daniel Stoupin, who made the video, explains that we need to understand slow creatures if we want to save them: Difficulties in understanding “slow” marine life and interpreting its behaviour, unfortunately, are aggravated by its decline caused by human impact. But frankly, we’re not sure anymore.
Ocean Energy Teams Compete for $16 Million Saltire Prize in Scotland People have long dreamed of harnessing the tremendous power of the ocean's waves and tides. Off the jagged and wild coast of Scotland, a competition is now under way to demonstrate a practical means of capturing that vast renewable energy for electricity. Four United Kingdom companies are vying for the Saltire Prize, a £10 million (about $16 million) award offered by the government of Scotland, which boasts that 25 percent of Europe's tidal energy potential is surging off its shores. The prize will go to the first company that can demonstrate a viable, environmentally friendly ocean power system in Scotland's waters. Learn more about the Saltire Prize in the video story below: The Saltire Prize was announced in 2008, building on the success of the $10 million Ansari X-Prize for commercial space flight. (Related: "Pictures: Immense, Elusive Energy in the Forces of Nature") In this new phase, four companies will deploy test devices in the roiling seas off northern Scotland.
