Look At Epomis Beetle Eats Toad : The Secret War Video

A frog is attacked and eaten by an Epomis beetle.The study found the genus Epomis is represented in Israel by two species: E. dejeani and E. circumscriptus. The researchers recorded Epomis sharing shelter with amphibians during the day, but preying on them during the night. In the laboratory, predation behaviour of the adult beetles on five amphibian species was observed.Senior author Gil Wizen says, "Amphibians are typical insect predators and their diet may include adult beetles, ground beetles in particular.

The recently filmed successful attacks of the beetles on toads and frogs brought new insights on the amphibian-insect interactions, and documented the uncommon phenomenon of invertebrates preying on vertebrate animals."

The lab results show that the beetle is a specialized predator of amphibians despite its larger size. Take a look:-

Baby Hippos Chasing Tourists Incredible Video

Vancouver men, Evan Petkau and Luke Willms, on a tour of Kenya's Lake Naivasha, found themselves on a motorboat stuck between pods of hippos.When tourists sign up for a lake tour, they probably don't sign on for a major hippo chase.

According to MSNBC , two Vancouver men, Evan Petkau and Luke Willms, on a tour of Kenya's Lake Naivasha, found themselves on a motorboat stuck between pods of hippos. The hippos began to chase their boat, and it was all caught on a video that makes car chases seem like child's play.There is some laughter heard on the boat, which has lead some to believe they were teasing the hippos, but Evan Petkou who captured the footage assures us, "the laughter is just nervous laughter."Nervous is probably a little bit of an understatement since their tour guide can be heard telling them that the hippo is the biggest killer in Africa as it starts charging their boat.

Watch Blackbirds Fall From Sky In Arkansas : More Than 1,000 Dead Blackbirds.

BEEBE, Arkansas -- Wildlife officials are trying to determine what caused more than 1,000 black birds to die and fall from the sky over an Arkansas town.

The birds had fallen Friday night over a 1-mile area of Beebe, and an aerial survey indicated that no other dead birds were found outside of that area. The workers from U.S. Environmental Services started the cleanup Saturday.

The agency also said another possibility is that New Year's Eve revelers shooting off fireworks in the area could have startled the birds from their roost and caused them to die from stress.
