L'Aquàrium: Under The Sea

The way through the large basin in the Barcelona aquarium. As you can see there is a small automatic way moving through this.
One of the funniest things I saw there was one of the signs that explain which species there are in the basin. One of those showed a diver with the explanation "Homo sapiens".
Taken during a trip to Barcelona in May 2009. Please visit the whole set.

From Wikipedia:
"The family Fulgoridae is a large group of hemipteran insects, especially abundant and diverse in the tropics, containing over 125 genera world-wide. They are mostly of moderate to large size, many with a superficial resemblance to Lepidoptera due to their brilliant and varied coloration. Various genera and species (especially the genera Fulgora and Pyrops) are sometimes referred to as lantern flies, though they do not emit light."

Os jacarés, os aligatores e os caimões (ou caimães) são répteis da ordem Crocodylia que é dividida em três famílias: Gavialidae, Alligatoridae, Crocodylidae.
Jacarés e aligatores pertencem a família Alligatoridae e são animais muito parecidos com os crocodilos, dos quais se distinguem pela cabeça mais curta e larga e pela presença de membranas interdigitais nos polegares das patas traseiras. Com relação à dentição, o quarto dente canino da mandíbula inferior encaixa num furo da mandíbula superior, enquanto que nos crocodilos sobressai para fora, quando têm a boca fechada.o tamanho de um jacaré pode variar de 60cm(jacaré anão),até 6 metros e meio(jacaré açu),e podem pesar entre 3 kilos e 500 kilos.
Os jacarés habitam as Américas e desapareceram da Europa no Pliocénico.[carece de fontes?] Na América do Norte ocorre predominantemente o género Alligator. O gênero Crocodylus, da subfamília Crocodylinae, família Crocodylidae como o Crocodylus acutus é encontrado ao sul do estado norte-americano da Flórida.

Alligators and caimans are archosaurs, species of crocodilians and form the family Alligatoridae (sometimes regarded instead as the subfamily Alligatorinae).
Alligators proper occur in the fluvial deposits of the age of the Upper Chalk in Europe, where they did not die out until the Pliocene age. The true alligators are now restricted to two species, A. mississippiensis in the southeastern United States, which can grow to 4.24 m (14 ft) and weigh 1000 lbs (454.5 kg)[1], with the record length of 5.81 m (19 ft 2 in), and the small A. sinensis in the Yangtze River, People's Republic of China, which grows to an average of 1.5 m (5 ft). Their name derives from the Spanish el lagarto, which means "the lizard".

The American Black Bear (Ursus americanus) is the most common bear species native to North America. It lives throughout much of the continent, from northern Canada and Alaska south into Mexico, from the Atlantic to the Pacific. This includes 41 of the 50 U.S. states and all Canadian provinces except Prince Edward Island. Populations in the east-central and southern United States remain in the protected mountains and woodlands of parks and preserves, though bears will occasionally wander outside the parks' boundaries and have set up new territories, in some cases on the margins of urban environments in recent years as their populations increase. Although there were probably once as many as two million black bears in North America long before European colonization, the population declined to a low of 200,000 as a result of habitat destruction and unrestricted hunting. By current estimates, more than 800,000 are living today on the continent.

Aliens, moving North

Female wasp spider (Argiope bruennichi), one of the biggest European spiders. Originally from the Mediterranean they are moving up North last decennia. Possibly it has something to do with the global earth warming. The first observation of this species in the Netherlands for example was in 1980. Yesterday, i've seen 5 of this wasp spiders (in Belgium, where they are protected by law). Very impressive, the females are a lot bigger than the males. The males often loose their life or some legs while mating. "After they lost their package of sperm, they are used and useless", the spider women (photo) said to me.
