Dana Discovery Center

They should just give me my Oscar right now. I took a two day workshop about video editing and had to make a 1 minute (exactly) movie about whatever our teacher assigned. We got the visitor center next to Harlem Meer in Central Park North.
So here it is, world premier of my first SHORT. (My other film was LONG) Plus my partner woudn't let me be the star, so this is my directorial comeback.



Coming Soon: other stuff.

New Species

As a frequent of the National Geographic website I found out that "we" (my team) has discovered several new species in Suriname. Where is Suriname you wonder? Its a tiny little country above Brazil in South America; google it. Among the new creatures are four frogs, six species of fish, a dozen kinds of dung beetles, and a type of ant never before seen by scientists.


This little bad-ass needs no introduction, he's black, he's pink, he's totally NOW. I would love to poke a hole through its body and wear it around my neck.


'Big Lipped Catfish' is actually only 2.5 inches long. But scientist predict that he would be a perfect trumpet player in Disney's "The Little Mermaid" in Sebastians 'Under the Sea' number. Although there is no evidence, he sure looks like he can blow.



At first glance, it looks like the average tree frog at your local Petsmart, but this psuedo-Prince lays eggs that hatch fully formed frogs instead of tadpoles!! WHAT?



A boring little black and blue snake right? This slithering slime ball can extract the slug out of the snailshell using his slender jaw. Pretty useful little skill if you ask me.

Hogzilla!!




Hogzilla may have been headed for horror-movie heaven (or the next episode of Lost), but the massive swine that became an Internet sensation in 2004 may have been outdone, size wise, by this reportedly wild pig killed May 3 by Jamison Stone, age 11, and reported by the Associated Press on Wednesday.
From tip to tail, the newfound hog—dubbed "Monster Pig"—measures 9 feet, 4 inches (284 centimeters) and weighs in at 1,051 pounds (477 kilograms), according to Stone's father.
At a 150-acre fenced hunting range, Stone said, he shot the huge beast eight times with a revolver before tracking it with his father and guides for three hours. Finally, the boy shot the hog at point-blank range, killing the animal. (Really Sad)
While hunting by children is legal in Alabama, officials are investigating whether anyone had transported and released the live feral pig into the hunting preserve, which would violate state law.
